Committee for Recognition of Nursing Achievement: representing Registered Nurses at Stanford Health Packard Children’s Hospital.

Our History:

The Committee for Recognition of Nursing Achievement (CRONA) started as a committee called the Professional Performance Committee in 1964. It was comprised of nurses from both management and staff, and formed to address issues with the Hospital. In 1966, the American Nurses Association recommended a minimum salary for registered nurses which was more than the entry salary at Palo Alto-Stanford Hospital. That same year the Professional Performance Committee evolved into the Committee for Remuneration of Nursing Achievement (CRONA) to encompass the professional component of nursing as well as salary issues. Nurses from both management and staff came together to set up a structure within which they could address issues with the Hospital. The re-titled Committee consisted of 8 members and 8 alternates elected by the general body of Nurses and representing the different nursing areas. The general body of Nurses were members including Assistant Head Nurses and Head Nurses. In 1974, the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) was amended to include coverage and protection of employees of non-profit hospitals. Committee for Recognition of Nursing Achievement (CRONA) was voted in as the collective bargaining agent for the Nurses at Stanford Hospital and Clinics. In 1991, CRONA was voted in as the collective bargaining agent for the Nurses at Lucile S. Today, CRONA continues to advocate for Nurses, and ultimately patient care, at Stanford Health Care and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital (Stanford Children’s Health).
