Welcoming our new RN Contract Specialist

Get to know Misty Richards, the new contract specialist for the RN bargaining unit. Misty started working in a hospital setting at the age of 17 and became an LPN in 2003 and later an RN in 2004. She came to Kaiser nearly five years ago, where she is a charge nurse on the MSPCU evening shift at Sunnyside Medical Center.

What drives Misty to be active with OFNHP is the changing working environment for nurses—the increasing pace, long shifts, and physicality that present challenges to a sustainable career in the field. “Now more than ever, we need to be unified and vocal to protect our rights and our union contract. I truly believe that our actions today will shape the future of nursing. We’re standing up for the next generation of RNs who are coming in behind us.”

Reach her at mrichards@ofnhp.org.
