As many of you know, the STAT nurses are now being restructured and we are concerned about what this is going to mean for our staff and patients at Central WA hospital. We are asking everyone to complete a very brief survey. You do not have to be a WSNA nurse to complete the survey. Providing your name is optional. Please share the link to this survey with your co-workers.
The survey will end September 5.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your WSNA nurse representative, Carmen Garrison at cgarrison@wsna.org.

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.
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.
