WSNA and The Lauren McCluskey Foundation:
The Lauren McCluskey Foundation is a non-profit organization established in honor of Lauren Jennifer McCluskey, a University of Utah student-athlete who was tragically murdered by a man she briefly dated in 2018.
The Washington State Nurses Association is proud to partner with the Lauren McCluskey Foundation to host the aid stations for Lauren’s Lap. By working together, we can change the culture that responds poorly to dating violence on campuses and create a safer, more supportive environment for everyone.
Race Day:
Pre-race festivities begin at 9am with music, food trucks, and a fun inflatable racecourse. There will be speakers just before the race starts at 10am and there is a FREE women’s self defense class at the Hampton Inn following the race. Click the link below to sign up if you’re interested.

Resources and tools
Document unsafe conditions
If you find yourself in a situation that you believe creates unsafe conditions for patients or for you, you should complete a Staffing Complaint / ADO Form as soon as possible.
By completing the form, you will help make the problem known to management, creating an opportunity for the problem to be addressed. Additionally, you will be documenting the facts, which may be helpful to you later if there is a negative outcome.
WSNA also uses your ADO forms to track the problems occurring in your facility. When you and your coworkers take the important step of filling out an ADO form, you are helping to identify whether there is a pattern of unsafe conditions for you or your patients at your facilities. This information is used by your conference committee, staffing committee, and WSNA labor staff to improve your working conditions.
Representation rights
As a union member, you have the right to have a representative present in any meetings with management that could potentially lead to disciplinary action against you.
If called into a meeting with management, read the following to management when the meeting begins:
If this discussion could in any way lead to my being disciplined or terminated, I respectfully request that my union representative be present at this meeting. Without representation present, I choose not to participate in this discussion.
Find out more about this crucial right and how to exercise it to ensure your fair treatment and protection.
