Kicking off 2023 united for safe staffing!

Huge WIN for Overlake RNs, $5 across the board wage increase!

We all know the truth:
Safe staffing=Safe nurses=Safe care

Huge WIN for Overlake RNs - $5 across the board wage increase! The fight is not over, staffing remains inadequate and unsafe; Overlake is not listening. Keep the pressure on, wear our safe staffing stickers in solidarity until Jan. 11 at midnight and send in pictures of nurses wearing them in solidarity.

The top 5 RNs submitting the most pics of nurses wearing stickers win gift card prizes. Send in pictures to WSNA chair Chris Birchem at lmh-ccb@comcast.net or WSNA Organizer Zach Seikel at zseikel@wsna.org.
