Latest update

You’re invited to dinner!

Spokane area nurses please join us in Spokane on Tuesday, October 15, from 5:30-8:30 pm at The Spokane Club for our Legislative Dinner. Mingle and enjoy a plated dinner seated with the legislative candidates from your legislative district on the November ballot. This is your opportunity to speak directly to legislative candidates from your legislative district (without having to travel to Olympia). At a table with other nurses, you will be able to share with candidates your frustrations, challenges and commitment to excellent nursing care. In return you will be able to hear the candidates’ proposed policy changes directed at overcoming your identified barriers to providing high quality nursing care.

Your regional nurses’ association, Inland Empire Nurses Association (IENA), is hosting this opportunity and has invited representatives and candidates from District 9- Whitman County. This event is open to all IENA/WSNA members at no cost, but seats are limited to 100 nurses.

Document unsafe conditions

If you find yourself in a situation that you believe creates unsafe conditions for patients or for you, you should complete a Staffing Complaint / ADO Form as soon as possible.

By completing the form, you will help make the problem known to management, creating an opportunity for the problem to be addressed. Additionally, you will be documenting the facts, which may be helpful to you later if there is a negative outcome.

WSNA also uses your ADO forms to track the problems occurring in your facility. When you and your coworkers take the important step of filling out an ADO form, you are helping to identify whether there is a pattern of unsafe conditions for you or your patients at your facilities. This information is used by your conference committee, staffing committee, and WSNA labor staff to improve your working conditions.

Representation rights

As a union member, you have the right to have a representative present in any meetings with management that could potentially lead to disciplinary action against you.

If called into a meeting with management, read the following to management when the meeting begins:

If this discussion could in any way lead to my being disciplined or terminated, I respectfully request that my union representative be present at this meeting. Without representation present, I choose not to participate in this discussion.

Find out more about this crucial right and how to exercise it to ensure your fair treatment and protection.
