May and June WSNA Dues  (6/21/2010)

For nurses who selected to pay dues through payroll deduction, the May and June dues will be deducted from your next paycheck.  If you have already sent in a payment for May, only your June dues will be deducted.  Please contact Mary Peterson in Membership Services at WSNA if there are any questions or concerns regarding your WSNA dues.  The usual payment schedule will resume in July.

As soon as we get the final contract, we will be mailing it to you. As in the past years, your contract will be on a CD.  If you would like to view the new contract, click the "downloads" tab.
