"CNA/NNU is a third-party outsider."
Myth #9
CNA/NNU is a democratic organization run by direct-care
RNs at every level.
• It will be you, the RNs at your facility, who decide what to
propose in your contract and who then vote to accept or reject
the resulting contract.
• You decide which RN colleagues will serve on your PPC to address
staffing and other practice issues at your facility.
• You elect your coworkers to serve as in-house CNA/NNU nurse
representatives/shop stewards.
• You elect an RN from your region to sit on the 32-member, all-RN
direct-care board of directors.
• You vote for delegates to represent you at the biannual House of
Delegates convention where policy is set for the organization.
