As a nursing student and new graduate Registered Nurse, I found the following resources to be quite helpful. Being a member of the National Student Nurse’s Association was the best decision I have made in my career. I was able to travel, meet nurse leaders and grow as a professional. I highly recommend seeking out membership and upon obtaining licensure, transition into becoming a member of the American Nurses’ Association. Below are some of the associations that might be of interest when specializing in different areas of nursing.
The American Nurses’ Association National Student Nurses Association American Association of Critical Care Nurses American Association of Neuroscience Nurses Sigma Theta Tau- Nursing society National League for Nursing Association of periOperative Registered Nurses National Council of State Boards of Nursing Oncology Nursing Society Academy of Medical-Surgical Nurses
