The WSNA Cabinet on Economic and General Welfare invites you to join your fellow union nurses across Washington state for WSNA Nurses Unite! Connect. Create. CollabÂoÂrate. This new, free event will be held virtuÂally on Monday, Nov. 9, from 9 a.m. to noon.
Because COVID-19 has had a profound impact on how nurses live, advocate and care for their patients, the Cabinet created WSNA Nurses Unite! to provide more opporÂtuÂniÂties for nurses to:
- CollabÂoÂrate and strateÂgize with other WSNA union members throughout the state.
- Learn from state and national labor leaders about the future of the labor movement amid health, racial and economic crises.
- ReenerÂgize after a challenging year.
