OLEAN, N.Y. (WIVB) - RN's at Olean General Hospital say they're feeling more pressure now than ever before.

That's why they rallied Friday afternoon for support of the Safe Staffing for Quality Care Act. It's a bill now making the rounds in Albany that would limit the number of patients a nurse can care for at one time.

Olean nurses say their colleagues at hospitals across the state are being forced to care for 10 or more patients at a time.
