Nurses demand 'highest' Ebola safety standards
SACRAMENTO -- Gov. Jerry Brown on Tuesday said California will address the concerns and worries of nurses who say the hospitals where they work are ill-prepared for a potential case of the deadly Ebola virus.

"We are moving -- this is a top priority on my list," said Brown, according to the California Nurses Association who was at the meeting with about 50 nurses representing major hospital chains.

CNA spokesman Chuck Idelson said the nurses are pushing for the highest standards to protect medical workers treating Ebola cases, including Hazmat suits.

Brown gave no timeline, but that he expected updated guidelines will be released soon.
