Nurses united for quality care

We are over 80,000 registered nurses across 21 states, a united voice for quality, affordable healthcare and good union jobs for all.

The Nurse Alliance of SEIU Healthcare advances and strengthens the voice of registered nurses in our healthcare facilities, at our state capitals and in Washington, D.C.

Quality

SEIU RNs improve quality outcomes for patients and professional satisfaction for RNs through labor-management partnerships.

We share best practices through Local and national Nurse Alliance quality committees and conferences.

We develop and disseminate effective nursing solutions, tools and strategies for implementation at the facility, state and national level.

We participate in major national discussions with top nursing experts, educators and researchers. We respond to emerging challenges and emergency situations.

We promote public awareness of the most fundamental value of the nursing profession--to deliver quality care that provides optimum support for the health, safety and rights of patients.

Politics and policy

The Nurse Alliance of SEIU Healthcare supports state and federal legislation that advances the Nurse Alliance agenda of quality, safe staffing, health and safety standards, and healthcare workforce development.

We promote solutions to the crisis in care, which includes a looming nursing shortage.

Good healthcare policy happens when practicing RNs are sitting at political and policy-making tables as effective partners with a strong, clear agenda. SEIU RNs advocate for more and more political involvement from nurses, with a current focus on healthcare reform implementation.

Workforce development

SEIU RNs are partnering with employers, government, communities, and schools to advance the careers of incumbent healthcare workers and to counter the triple threat of a severe nursing shortage, the retirements of many RNs, and an aging population; and to make sure everyone has access to quality care.

We come to the table to make sure that training and upgrading programs are worker and family friendly.

Member strength, growth, and unity

SEIU RNs believe that direct engagement and involvement of all of our SEIU Healthcare Sisters and Brothers, expands our activism, develops our leadership, and advances the mission of quality healthcare.

We provide vibrant, nurse-driven programs; that integrate plans and implementation at the Division and Local Union level to accomplish strategic goals.

SEIU RNs actively support nurses and other healthcare workers who want to organize a union. We reach out, connect and share our experience, strength and hope, person to person.

SEIU RNs are committed to working with nurses throughout the profession to achieve real solutions for quality patient care.
