The NWESC Direct Care Member spends at least 50 percent of their time in direct patient care. This membership was created because ONL NJ recognizes that direct care nurses who are engaged with the NWESC at their place of work demonstrate leadership qualities by virtue of their participation on the NWESC. They are committed to promote and sustain a healthy work environment for the nurses of New Jersey. The NWESC Direct Care member does not hold a formal leadership position.
