Empowering nurses to excel
Dedicated nurses deserve the best practice environments, and to be supported to live the healthiest lives. ANA is committed to safeguarding nurse wellbeing, for improved patient outcomes – and happier nurses.
Work environment
A positive, safe working environment with adequate staffing levels is vital for nurses to provide the highest quality care.
Health policy
Nursing knowledge is vital to inform successful health care policy and react to the changing needs of the health care system.
Advocacy
Through advocacy, we can all make a difference to the future of nursing. Nurses advocate for their patients every day, but there are many opportunities for nurses to have their voice heard at the highest levels of policymaking.
Innovation
We can innovate and lead the way with forward-thinking policy and practice by utilizing the experience and expertise of nurses.
Workforce
Whether you’re just starting out or you’re an experienced nurse, find out more about nursing, and search for new roles.
Healthy Nurse, Healthy Nation™
Healthy Nurse, Healthy NationTM is inspiring nurses to use their skills as advocates, educators, and role models to improve the health of the nation. If 4 million registered nurses increased their wellness, and supported their families, co-workers, and communities to do the same; imagine what a healthier nation we would live in.
Through our united voice on policy issues, we support nurses to practice to their full potential – and improve health care for all.
