Professional organizations in the military?

I've been getting more involved with the Texas Nursing Student's Association this year, and I have really enjoyed it. Do nurses in the military fall into ANA or state associations? Do they have their own? You can still be involved in professional organizations like ACCN, right?

I believe it is very important that I try and stay up with these, because this is how nurses get their voice heard. We also need them as a profession. I think they're great, and I was just curious what I can get involved in through the military.

Thank you!

Nurses working in federal facilites fall under the Federal Nurses Association (FedNA)
Web site: www.nursingworld.org/FedNA

Those unionized like VA are under UAN union.

Military are free to join state association too if they desire. (Some do if state/district dues cheaper.)

Thanks! That is helpful. It's good to know that I can still do professional organizations like that!

Re: Professional organizations in the military?

I started this thread a longggg time ago, but I wanted to add an update.

Just recently I was invited to go to a special luncheon with the President of ANA and FedNA at Walter Reed Medical Center. That provided me so much information. FedNA is a part of the ANA. We (as military nurses) can be part of both.

Boy, the opportunities the military provides are just endless.

Re: Professional organizations in the military?

does this apply to civilian nurses working in a military hospital or army nurses who are active duty, or both?

Re: Professional organizations in the military?

From what I understand, it's just for active duty military nurses. Here's their website. It may explain it a little better.
