Nurse Practice Concerns Clause Samples

Nurse Practice Concerns. The Association acknowledges that staffing levels and staff mix ratios are decisions reserved exclusively to management. In the event a nursing unit should undergo significant changes in the RN role/responsibilities, the RNs involved will be included in a collaborative review with management to provide input affecting those changes. Perceived unresolved staffing patterns must be documented and brought to the attention of the responsible manager or supervisor. The nurse must discuss the patterns with the Nurse Manager/Director in an attempt to reach resolution. If resolution is unable to be reached, a majority of the bargaining unit nurses in the affected area and/or Manager may request a meeting with the Chief Nursing Officer or designee to discuss the issues. The Chief Nursing Officer will report outcome resolution to the NPC, the Local Unit Chair, and the affected staff.
