A three-year contract has been ratified by 198 nurses at the Marlborough Hospital, representing the last Massachusetts Nurses Association-represented hospital to settle a contract, the association announced Wednesday.
The agreement improves the ratio of registered nurses to patients, according to the Massachusetts Nurses Association (MNA), and includes the creation of a Marlborough RN Staffing Committee that will issue recommendations to hospital management regarding staffing concerns. It also includes a 4.5 percent wage increase over the life of the contract.
The contract was the result of 10 months of negotiations.
