If I was still a Providence RN, I would be right there with them!! In April of this year, our department, ProvRN, which happened to be its own bargaining unit, was shut down. In the words of the higher ups, it was “sunsetted”!!!! On top of all that, their communication to the providers and other “caregivers” was that we- the staff, were given the opportunity to remain with Providence. That was BullShit at its finest! Over half of our nursing staff had 10+ years experience. With that much seniority and being part of a union, there was little Providence would be able to do except to continue to return to the “bargaining table” and negotiate our contract. Their solution, close us down!!! AND pay us off versus assisting us to find “opportunities” in other departments. Think 🤔 about………………………….. I was not part of the department during the initial and height of the pandemic of COVID-19, my coworkers were. While everything was shut down and not accessible to patients, my coworkers were there. 24/7, 365 for 2-3 years!!! When patients have NOWHERE ELSE TO GO, they called us and we cared and comforted them. And we got laid off. “Sunsetted”!! So, if you aren’t exactly sure why or what is happening, it’s because of shady ass practices such as what they did to ProvRN!! Providence is a multi-billion, multi-state network of systems. Their care for their “frontline” workers would be horrible if it wasn’t for the ONA nurses union. https://www.facebook.com/OregonNursesAssociation?mibextid=LQQJ4d What do think about nurses having to strike to get the necessary standards to safely perform their jobs?
