When @myWSNA joined with @AFTunion, it was one of the best decisions we ever made. AFT unites us not only with other nurses and other healthcare professionals, but also with teachers, faculty, support staff, and public service workers around the country.

THANK YOU! This was the best @aftunion convention I’ve ever been part of, and I hope all of our members across education, healthcare, and public services know we love you. Let's just do a brief (and incomplete because it's hard to capture it all) recap of how it went. 1/9

Kamala Harris knows that care can’t wait. We’re with her because she’s fighting for all of us.

Like VP Harris, I've seen the importance of care workers in my life. We need a leader who supports care workers & those who need care. That's why I'm all in for @KamalaHarris & proud the Care Can't Wait Act coalition is the 1st out w/ an IE ad supporting her. #CareGiversForKamala

PBMU nurses at Seattle Children's are on the frontlines of our broken system of mental healthcare for children. A charge nurse likened the unit to a pot ready to boil over, but "you can't take the pot off the fire." Read more in @medpagetoday story. medpagetoday.com/hospitalbas…

Appropriate #nurse staffing is achievable and necessary for both nurses and patients. ANA supports The Nurse Staffing Standards for Hospital Patient Safety and Quality Care Act, which would establish minimum nurse-to-patient-ratio requirements. Learn more and take action: ow.ly/w24V50Q3cEK

Hard-fought bill #SB5236 signed into law today by @GovInslee. “We’re very excited this bill has passed,” said @davkeep, WSNA director. “These are issues we’ve been working on for quite some time. I think the bill represents significant progress toward the goal of #safestaffing."
