Join The New Hospital Staffing Committee!

Do you feel passionate about safe staffing? We are seeking one to two nurses from each unit to represent their peers on the newly formed Hospital Staffing Committee, a joint committee consisting of members of WSNA, SEIU and management. Staffing Committee works to ensure that everyone is supported and addresses the concerns of staff as they arise. The Committee is also responsible for developing and voting on the staffing plans for each unit. The Hospital Staffing Committee meets virtually on the third Wednesday of the month from 8am to 9am. Each unit needs a primary and secondary staffing committee member. If you are scheduled to work during that time, your manager will try to grant you release from your duties so you may attend. At least one member per unit is entitled to compensation for their time spent in staffing committee.

If you are interested in becoming a part of the new Hospital Staffing Committee, let your WSNA Nurse Rep know! Email gchesterman@wsna.org for details and to throw your hat in the ring!
