Nursing Council Provincial Negotiating Committee - Expression of Interest

Our Acute Care Collective Agreement expires in late October 2020. As we prepare for bargaining, the NSNU must put forward eleven nurse representatives from within the acute care sector to form the NSNU portion of the Nursing Council.

The NSNU is accepting nominations from acute care members working in the four regions/zones and an LPN working in acute care. The vote for these PNC representatives will take place at the Regional and Component Meetings held in Truro on Monday, April 20th. Voting is restricted to acute care members only.

The IWK will select their PNC rep at a meeting of their scheduling. Automatically included on the team are the NSNU provincial president and vice president.

Nominations can be taken from the floor of each meeting on April 20th or you can submit an expression of interest form by Friday, April 17th to ensure that your name is put forward. This is particularly important if you are unable to attend the Regional or Component meeting but would still like to be considered for a position on the PNC.

The call for Expression of Interest forms and voting for the remaining acute care team members – three Members At Large - will take place in late spring. Those details will be forthcoming.

Expression of Interest forms can be found at nsnu.ca/resources/forms-guides.

A reminder will be sent via Campaigner e-memo to all acute care members prior the AGM. 

Please forward your expression of interest forms to the attention of Lorna Myers (lorna.myers [at] nsnu.ca).

Fax and our mailing address can be found on the expression of interest form.

Thank you,

Janet Hazelton, NSNU President
