Ohio lawmakers consider bill protecting nurses from overtime discipline
The measure would prevent hospitals in Ohio from disciplining or firing nurses who refuse overtime. The Ohio House approved it, and the Senate is set to consider it, potentially making Ohio the 19th state to ban mandatory overtime for nurses. Supporters say it reduces fatigue and protects patients, while opponents seek flexible staffing and avoid staffing shortages.
