Together We Achieve More

Med City Nursing Alliance is a nonprofit created by nurses who care immensely about the rights of all nurses serving the patients at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.

Our team of Nursing Advocates is comprised of nurse volunteers that advocate, support, and represent peers that are faced with wrongful termination, disciplinary action, or threats against their license by their employer. Our Nurse Advocates see and feel what is happening during this tremendously difficult time in healthcare and they want to help.

Med City Nursing Alliance has the opportunity to collectively bargain for each and every one of the 6,532 RNs and LPNs at Mayo Clinic, Rochester. What is needed from each and every one of them is their acknowledgment and permission for MCNA to do so by signing a “Collective Bargaining Union Authorization Card” which permits MCNA to petition the Nation Labor Relations Board for Unionization. Sample cards are available upon request. 

• In hospitals with a successful union vote patient outcomes improve. The most significant improvements were in CNS disorders such as delirium and depression (down 58%). Hospital acquired infections, metabolic disorders, and in hospital deaths—ALL DECREASED
• Nursing retention is higher in unionized hospitals
• Lower nurse-to-patient ratios improve patient outcomes
• Nurses will “Vote with their feet”- Nurses are leaving the bedside in droves. 
• California’s RN base pay is 38% higher than the base pay in Minnesota. However, cost of living is only 5.7% higher in California.
