Simple union question

[queenjean]

I am not interested in a union vs nonunion thread, we seem to have enough of those around.

I simply want to know what unions are out there for nurses in the US.

Thanks!

I'm vastly over-simplifying, but traditionally, nurses have been unionized by the ANA and the ANA's state constituent groups (for example, the New York State Nurses Association).

A new addition to the mix is groups that organize other workers, but have begun to recruit nurses. An example of that is the Service Employees International Union (the SEIU).

Thank you, that was exactly the info I was wanting.
