BSN (and Above) Premium Starts on 9/27/20

Starting on 9/27/20, all RNs with a BSN (or higher nursing degree) will be eligible for a $1/hour premium. Even if you believe that Multicare already has your degree on file, please re-submit verification in order to guarantee that you receive this premium.

Per HR, the three acceptable documents for degree verification are:

  • A transcript that denotes the degree given and when it was awarded/conferred
  • A diploma,
  • A letter from the institution affirming the degree and date awarded.

These documents can be submitted either via the Employee Resource Intranet page or faxed to 253-403-7965.

Faxing is highly recommended in order to have clear confirmation that it’s been submitted. (Please keep the fax confirmation until verifying that this is correctly being applied to your paycheck!)

Lastly, if your education was conferred under a different name, HR may need extra time to process the documentation.

Special thanks are due to your negotiation team for helping to secure this benefit!

If you have any questions, please contact your WSNA nurse representative, Sara Strite, at sstrite@wsna.org.
