Nurses week is coming to a calendar near you!

Your WSNA officers are proud and honored to serve the Seattle Children's WSNA members, and we are celebrating all of you, who do such great work every single day. We are celebrating you during Nurses Week, May 6-12, 2021

1. Who has been having a hard time lately? Who consis­tently goes above and beyond? Who did that one small thing that bright­ened your day or a patient’s day and deserves recognition? Nominate a WSNA nurse colleague to win a gift card. The last day to make your nomina­tion is April 30 and prizes will be announced and deliv­ered throughout Nurses Week.

2. Essay contest. What does WSNA mean to you? Maybe it’s all about our contract. Maybe WSNA has helped you personally. Maybe you are proud of WSNA’s legislative work. Tell us, in your own words, what WSNA means to you. Top three essay winners will receive prizes: a one-night stay at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel in downtown Seattle, a gift certificate and Trophy cupcakes for your unit! Essay deadline is 5 p.m. May 11. Winners announced May 12. (Essay prizes are limited to WSNA members in good standing.)

3. Officers will be rounding throughout Nurses Week, with treats to show our appreciation of your hard work and dedication, and support of our union.
