As a Registered Nurse, you are constantly aware of the critical role of patient advocacy in your practice, particularly in today’s chaotic health care environment.  Membership in GNA is a tri-level membership.  That means you have the opportunity to interact directly with your peers through Chapters or online Communities of Practice (CoP); to become involved as leadership at the state level; and to be involved at the national level through the American Nurses Association.  Through GNA, you become part of 2.2 million Registered Nurses nationwide who speak with one voice to foster high standards of nursing practice, speak up on workplace advocacy issues, project a realistic view of nursing to the community, and lobby elected officials and regulatory agencies at the state and national levels on health care issues affecting the profession and the public.

OK, so how can I join?

You have two options:

If you register online, your registration will be processed and sent to the American Nurses Association.  (Sorry, only Visa or MasterCard orders accepted online. Payment by check must be submitted via regular mail.)

But I don’t have time to be active…

If you just don’t have time for one more meeting—there are still many benefits to membership that do not require a time investment!  Most importantly, your membership dues support the activities of members who are able to make time commitments as they work to develop professional standards, continue our important role of political action and advocacy, collaborate with other health care associations, and represent the Profession of Nursing to the community.  It is through your membership that GNA staff and leaders are actively working to secure a bright future for nurses.  By joining GNA, you put yourself directly “in the loop” to help control the destiny of the nursing profession and your personal career.
