I remember in nursing school our professors encouraged us to join professional nursing organizations like the ANA. Only when I became an actual nurse did I realize the ANA was a pro-corporate front that is never at the vanguard of fighting for nurses' interests like the NNU and the local unions are. I would never join the ANA. It's a racket where the top brass are buddy-buddy with the hospital organizations' boards and K Street lobbyists. What has the ANA ever managed to do for the nursing community lately?
