ANA membership

For direct membership, the membership dues were immediately available. For full membership, I just had to enter that I was employed full-time and select my state and county.

I clicked on direct membership and it asks for email address than goes to another screen asking your name, etc, couldn't find prices.

Since you're a student you can actually join at a discount! I don't really remember, but either it was free (if you were a NSNA member), or the price was discounted.

Good luck!

It depends on the State in which you live, for full membership in the ANA you have to also be a member of your State nurse's association (believe that is true for almost all states). For Kansas, my combined cost of the KSNA and ANA is like $286 yearly or $25 monthly. I have yet to be disappointed in my membership with either association. The cost may seem extreme, but honestly with all the discounts, free CEU's, networking and such that I have gotten from the ANA, it has paid for itself several times over. I'm also a nurse who believes in and supports the work that the ANA does to improve patient safety, nurse working conditions, etc. You can get an associate membership (?) which is free and allows you access to portions of website and ANA newsletters. I'm not sure what the student cost is. I do highly recommend membership in the ANA and suggest that you check out their website for all the benefits of membership.
