“It’s a whole new era, and people are seeing the importance of CNAs,”
As a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) at the Veterans Home of California in Fresno, Monica Blancarte serves the men and women who have served their country in the military.
In celebration of National Nurses Week, we’re highlighting the contributions of Monica and her fellow nurses who do so much to provide care and compassion.
Nurse’s Story – Stacye Charles
National Nurses Week is an opportunity to celebrate the certified nursing assistants, licensed vocational nurses, and registered nurses who provide essential care to many while risking their own safety.
Licensed Vocational Nurse Stacye Charles came to the nursing profession late in life—she calls it her “mid-life crisis job”—and after 20 years of providing care for patients, she’s never been happier.
Contact Tracing Agreement
On Monday, September 28, 2020, our Contact Tracing Team won an agreement with the State regarding contact tracing assignments! This hard fought victory comes after months of discussion and negotiations after the Governor tasked State workers to be reassigned to assist local health agencies with contact tracing.
Members on the Frontlines
SEIU Local 1000 members are on the frontlines of the Coronavirus response. While we help address this statewide crisis, we are also fighting to protect the public and our coworkers. Demanding safety equipment and other protections in the workplace is an important part of ensuring that California has the best response to Coronavirus possible.
