Nurses Support Veterans

We are still accepting nurse volunteers to help with basic first aid or to walk/run a 5k on Sunday, April 27 from 9:30-1:30p. Our nurses are partnering with Heroes Homestead; a local organization dedicated to military veterans and their families. We have purchased advanced registration for nurses who want to run or walk at the event. Sign up here and let us know where your interest is.

Nurses Week at Holy Family

Please take a few minutes and give us feedback on what our union could do to celebrate the nurses this year. Our local officers often decide how to celebrate nurse’s week and ask for your feedback. Click this link and drop us some ideas.

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.
