WBUR Poll Finds Mass. Nurses Are Divided On Question 1
ResumeWith Election Day just about three weeks away, Massachusetts nurses appear to be split on the ballot question that would affect their jobs.
According to a WBUR poll out Monday (topline results, crosstabs), 48 percent of registered nurses said they plan to vote yes on Question 1, which would establish nurse-to-patient ratios. Forty-five percent said they'll vote against the measure. Seven percent said they are undecided.
We hear from representatives on both sides about why there is this divide.
