Coming Soon! On-demand classes for SEIU nurses

Posted on November 16, 2021 by Katherine Hughes

Have you ever wanted to take a class offered by your union at your convenience?

Do you want to know what your union is doing for you?

The Nurse Alliance of SEIU California has offered in-person classes to nurses for decades.  They are often limited by space and a nurse’s work schedule.  Since one of our top priorities, as your professional organization, is to provide continuing education units (CEUs), we are developing an on-line and on-demand class library that will be available 24/7 to all SEIU nurses in 2022.

If you are interested in learning more then please email me.

Thanks and “see” you soon at our 2022 virtual classes!
