New Nurse Representative at Island
Posted Apr 17, 2024
In order to better balance our workload at WSNA, we occasionally need to change our nurse rep assignments. Your current nurse rep, Grace, will be moving to a new facility. She is honored to have worked with the nurses at Island Health, especially with the negotiation team during our recent contract negotiations where we won a historical 10% raise in the first year alone!
A familiar face will be returning to Island Health as the WSNA Nurse Rep. Please welcome Sue Dunlap, who will be the WSNA Nurse Representative for Island Health effective today! You can get in touch with Sue via email at sdunlap@wsna.org.

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.
