Hi

I have been elected president of my unit council. I work in a very busy SICU.

The goal is to have a self governing unit by the staff, with elected people on the committee.

Anyone have experience in something like this? If you do, can you share with me the information on how it all works? (that is if you have such a thing).

Thank You Lots!

:p

Hi I work ICU also and we have ICU governance. It's very new for us and is still in it's babyhood sorta speak. We are getting some things accomplished though. It seems like as we get one issued ironed out something new comes up though. We just put out the first draft of our guidelines for vote. We had some problems getting started because our manager didn't want to let us "govern" certain things but hopefully it will be a good thing for the unit. We have some problems right now with people complaining about things that are being decided but not being willing to participate in the meetings. I'd be happy to help you as much as possible. We could be helping each other.LOL.

Good luck
