Currently, almost 200 members have joined CIONS. Our chapter meets officially for a business meeting and educational dinner event every other month, beginning in January. Our programs are scheduled at 6:00 pm on the third Monday of the month.

CIONS members are notified by email with invitations to upcoming programs. Additionally, the event details are posted on the Virtual Community Calendar, located within this web-site. All events require pre-registration, and that information is also located within the calendar event details or program flyer. CIONS members can attend the programs for Free with current membership dues paid; and professional guest are welcome to attend for a small fee.

Mandatory Overtime Legislation Introduced. Imminently, the Nurse Overtime and Patient Safety Act will be introduced in the House and Senate by Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Reps. Doris Matsui (D-CA) and Jen Kiggans (R-VA). This legislation will help protect patients and nurses by prohibiting healthcare employers from requiring nurses to work beyond their scheduled shifts, except in genuine emergencies and other limited circumstances. The legislation recognizes that fatigue from excessive work hours can compromise patient safety, contribute to medical errors, and drive nurse burnout and workforce shortages. Importantly, the bill does not prohibit nurses from voluntarily working overtime if they choose to do so. By establishing national safeguards against mandatory overtime, the legislation supports safer staffing practices, healthier work environments, and high-quality patient care.
