Associations
Why join a nursing association?
Nursing associations can be found all over the nation and all have different benefits. Networking, CEUs, building relationships, mentor opportunities, staying up to date on nursing practices, scholarships and conferences are just a few of the things you can get from joining an organization. Most organizations allow you to join even if you’re still a student. Most require a sign-up fee and an annual fee, check with your job to see if they help pay for your sign-up fee, and if you’re a student, most have a student price.
