National Nurses Week, May 6-10, 2024, honors those who are the guardians of our care in clinics, hospitals, and the community. Victoria Gutierrez, a local nurse and labor activist, talks with Thursday 8 O’Clock Buzz host Tony Castañeda about the role of nurses as listeners, explainers and advocates, as well as their ongoing struggle to organize and the long-lasting detrimental effects of Act 10, which decimated their union.

In recognition of National Nurses Week 2024, Meriter Nurses along with SEIU, the union representing healthcare workers, are hosting a community-wide blood drive on Friday, May 10, 2024 from 9am – 1pm at the Labor Temple at 1602 S. Park St. Walk-ins are welcome!
