Put Your Leadership into Action
We all have a responsibility to each other and our patients to
support our colleagues and our professional association. Becoming a
member of ONA is the gateway to many opportunities to make a real
difference in our practice and each other's lives. For members, there
are many ways to serve:
Facility Committee Membership
Many committees at your facility require ONA membership. These
committees have a direct impact on how your unit is staffed and
the influence that staff nurses have on patient care.
Contact your local labor representative or ONA nurse practice consultant to learn more and get involved.
Local Representative Bargaining Unit Positions
All members should plan to rotate into an ONA leadership position at
some point in their career. No experience is necessary, only a desire to
assist your co-workers!
- Local bargaining unit officers and/or contract negotiating committee
- Nurse representative (steward) in a nursing unit and shift
- Contract action team member
Contact your local labor representative to learn more and get involved.
