The Professional Nursing Care Committee (PNCC) is holding elections. The PNCC is a contractually created committee comprised of bargaining unit nurses that per Article 17 of the ONA/ SHHCS contract is responsible for the following: coordinating constructive and collaborative approaches with the agency to problem solve regarding professional issues, work on issues related to the practice of nursing, work to improve patient care and nursing practice. This committee makes recommendations to the agency for ways and means to improve patient care. To accomplish this work, the committee conducts research and reviews Staffing Requests and Documentation Form (SDRF) submissions as well as nursing administrator responses. The committee also oversees the ONA Education Funds and the ONA contracted tuition reimbursement funds. Time spent in committee meetings is paid time. The PNCC meets monthly.
Three of the six positions are up for election this year. If you have questions about the PNCC please reach out to one of your current PNCC members.
