Please welcome WSNA Nurse Repre­sen­ta­tive Shawn Reed, RN, SANE

Shawn Reed has been a nurse since 2014, with a background in Emergency Nursing, Psychiatric Nursing and RN Case manager.

Bringing a passion for advocacy and collab­o­ra­tion, Shawn is excited to be a supportive presence for WSNA members!

Shawn is now taking over all new issues as they arise for St. Luke's. I will be working with both Shawn and your local unit officers to ensure a smooth transi­tion over the upcoming weeks. As we enter into negotiations, I will continue to participate until my last day.

I have enjoyed working with all of you as your Nurse Repre­sen­ta­tive and am excited to move onto my next stage of life in retirement.

Shawn can be reached at sreed@wsna.org or at 206 – 575‑7979, ext.3126.

In solidarity,
Debi Bessmer BSN,RN
