The New Jersey Nurses Union (NJNU) was created by working nurses at St. Barnabas Medical Center who desired strong representation in all areas of professional concern. Since its inception in 1991, NJNU has proven effective in negotiating its contracts and making certain that the terms and conditions or the contracts are upheld. The 2009 SBMC Bargaining Survey has been sent to all SBMC Nurses for the upcoming 2009 SBMC Contract Negotiations. This is an important tool that is used by the bargaining committee to prepare the proposals for your contract negotiations. As members your input is valuable to us. Please return your completed survey by June 12, 2009.

NJNU wants to remind our members that any access into a patient’s confidential information that is not under your direct care is a violation of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This is a federal law that all health care providers must abide by. No matter what good intentions you may have for looking up any information for a visitor, doctor, relative or friend, the minute you access that information you are breaking the law. When you log onto a computer with your password, everything you do is recorded into the computer's database of the patient's medical record. Violating HIPAA can result in members being disciplined or terminated in worse case, despite your best intended action(s).
