New grad wanting to join a nursing association

Published

Should I join the National LPN organization (NFLPN) or the State level LPN organization?

Any advice is appreciated.

Check, often one membership includes both the state and national level for the same fee.

National is probably much more expensive than state. Also, state is usually more realistic with more pertinent LOCAL/REGIONAL issues that would be more meaningful for me. State can also offer local networking and educational opportunities.

If I could do one or the other, I'd go local/state.

NFLPN membership includes the state membership, if your state has a chapter. Not all states have chapters. NJ does not but NY does for example.
