Hot off the presses! We have two new agreements

Critical Shift Stipend Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)

We were able to successfully negotiate a Critical Shift Stipend MOU. KVH has agreed to pay a critical shift stipend for evenings and night shifts in areas where there is a specific need.

  1. RNs participating in the Bonus Incentive Program are eligible for incentive stipends for critical shifts. A 6-hour minimum worked is required to receive 50% of stipend incentive. You may be floated on an incentive shift to work where there is a critical need to provide additional support.
  2. Critical shifts on open night shifts (1900-0700) on Med-Surg, CCU, Family Birthing Place, and ER, and the (1500 – 0300) in ED- as identified on the draft schedules and will be awarded $750.00 per incentive shift.

Vaccine Mandate Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)

We were able to successfully negotiate the effects of the Governor’s vaccine mandate.

If you have any questions regarding either of these documents, please contact one of your local unit officers or your WSNA nurse rep, Carmen Garrison at cgarrison@wsna.org.
