ANA membership?

Nurses Professionalism

Published

Looking for opinions on ANA and State membership, I am a new grad with my first RN job. Do any of you have an opinion on these memberships? I will be honest 150.00 for a year is pretty pricey...at least right now. Not sure if it is worth the investment. I will be looking for a new job in the next 6 months to a year and am curious if professional memberships hold any weight in the hiring process. Thanks for your opinions - Shannon

I just cancelled my membership with ANA since I have not seen any benefits to me. $200+/year adds up and I'd rather pay membership to my specialty group and my for less than what I am paying ANA. I am also back in school for my BSN so every little bit goes to tuition money. I want a loan-free degree! :)

As we say in Brooklyn, the ANA is about as useful as tits on a bull!

The nurses' organization that ALL nurses should belong to is the NNOC, part or the California Nurses Association.
