Unit council
I am a current member of unit council on 4MS. This is my 3rd term in the 17 years I've been at mayo. I try to let other new staff have the opportunity and encourage them to apply but have had low interest and I'm super passionate about our unit so have been fortunate to be a part of it. I have also applied to the nursing unit council and I'm waiting to hear back. I think its a great opportunity to collaborate with other team members and advocate for staff and come up with new ways to improve patient care and staff satisfaction.
