Nurse Staffing Standards for Hospital Patient Safety and Quality Care Act of 2025

The Nurse Staffing Standards for Hospital Patient Safety and Quality Care Act of 2025 amends the Public Health Service Act to establish minimum direct care registered nurse-to-patient staffing ratios in hospitals. It mandates hospitals to implement staffing plans that consider patient acuity, nursing care plans, and other factors. The bill prohibits hospitals from retaliating against nurses for refusing assignments, requires hospitals to post notices about staffing requirements, and mandates annual reevaluation of staffing plans.
