About MNA
Join a strong and vital organization with 20,000 other colleagues at your side today and the echoing voices of thousands of dedicated registered nurses who have gone before you. Since 1905, Minnesota Nurses Association members have effectively influenced health care policy and practice. And today, no other agency is better prepared than the Minnesota Nurses Association to insist on and facilitate the change needed to ensure quality healthcare in Minnesota.
No other organization has the power to ensure professional distinction and personal dignity for nurses and advocacy for our patients in Minnesota.
No other association possesses the knowledge and the means to fight and influence on all the playing fields – on the political front, at the bargaining table, in the practice arena and in the community.
The members of this association will continue to make important contributions by continuing to:
- Shape practice guidelines with reason and foresight.
- Defend nurses who speak up against situations that put our patients in jeopardy.
- Deliver new research that quantifies and attests to the importance of our role.
- Campaign in the workplace and the public eye to change the work environment so we can, in all good faith, recruit young people to become skilled nursing professionals, and assume their rightful position at any table discussing different methods of patient care delivery.
MNA is alive with people who provide care day in and day out. Individuals who want their own lives to be good and productive. Nurses who value the lives of the people in their care. MNA is the Minnesota Nurses Association. It is you in the acute care setting in St. Paul, or in school nursing in Waseca, or long-term nursing in Duluth. At the bedside, in the classroom and in the research lab, you are an important part of this association. You are the Minnesota Nurses Association.
