NNOC: Take the RN Solidarity Pledge

WE STAND TOGETHER 

• We pledge to act in solidarity with our colleagues, NNOC members and other direct care nurses, who choose to act in conscience as collective patient advocates.

WE BELIEVE 

• All patients derserve a high quality single standard of care.
• Registered Nurses are the essential care providers to ensure that all patients receive this standard of care.
• Nurses have an obligation to use their collective power to advocate for their patients' interests-- and their own.

WE STAND FOR OUR RIGHT TO ACT COLLECTIVELY, taking direct action on behalf of our patients.

AS PATIENT ADVOCATES, for those under our care and their families.

AS A GROUP TO IMPROVE our conditions, wages, benefits and respect for our profession at our facility and in our nation.

SOCIALLY, to further the goal of universal health care and a healthy life for all.
 
WE PLEDGE OUR SOLIDARITY TO SUPPORT RNs IN COLLECTIVE PATIENT ADVOCACY 

• To speak and act on behalf of our patients.
• To unite against actions by a health care facility, government agency or private interest group that infringe upon our obligations as RNs.
• To unite against actions that interfere with RNs' right to form their own organization, take action in their own name and improve conditions for all nurses.
