May 11-17, 2026 is National Nursing Week, when we recognize and celebrate the amazing members of the SEIU-West Family of Nursing:
- Continuing Care Assistants (CCAs)
- Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs)
- Operating Room Technicians (ORT-LPNs)
- Direct Care Workers (DCWs)
- Direct Support Workers (DSWs)
- Unit Assists (UAs)
- Other members performing similar front-line care roles (e.g. group home workers, care aides/care partners, resident attendants)
The SEIU-West Nursing Care Committee (NCC) is providing money and prizes to SEIU-West units where these members work to help them celebrate Nursing Week with food and/or SEIU-West swag/merch.
The NCC invites unit leadership (Chairs, Co-Chairs, Vice-Chairs, and/or Communicators) to fill out the application form below, with information about their unit (e.g. estimated total number of SEIU-West Family of Nursing members) and how they propose to celebrate Nursing Week in their unit.
If the NCC approves your unit's application, the NCC will reimburse the unit's expenses up to an amount based on the total number of SEIU-West Family of Nursing members who work in that unit/facility:
• Up to $85 for those units with up to 50 Family of Nursing members
• Up to $110 for those units with between 51 and 100 Family of Nursing members
• Up to $145 for those units with between 101 and 200 Family of Nursing members
• Up to $170 for those units with over 200 Family of Nursing members
Also, if you submit photos of your unit's celebration, your unit will be entered into a draw to win a "bag of swag". See the end of this form for more information.
The deadline to submit your application is 9:00 AM Tuesday, May 19, 2026.
