The Shift Report · Rank-and-file nurse communication

The Shift Report is a rank-and-file nurse communication space created for NYP Lower Manhattan nurses represented by CWA Local 1104. It is not an official statement of CWA Local 1104, NYP, or hospital management unless specifically identified as such. Do not submit patient names, MRNs, room numbers, screenshots, dates of care, or patient-identifying details. For discipline, investigatory meetings, grievances, POA questions, or urgent workplace safety concerns, contact a union delegate directly.
