Flyer: What Membership in ANNA Means
Who We Are
Since it was established in 1969, the American Nephrology Nurses Association (ANNA) has remained the definitive nonprofit professional organization for nurses and other healthcare professionals specializing in nephrology (“About ANNA,” 2018). The primary function of ANNA is to promote research and education, professional development and networking, patient advocacy and policy development.
Mission and Vision
The mission of the ANNA is to sustain a community of nephrology professionals through leadership development, education, and outreach. Our vision is to promote evidence-based practice to improve patient outcomes, as well as to nurture our growing community of passionate healthcare advocates (“About ANNA,” 2018).
Advantages of Membership
Why become a member in ANNA? As the premier professional organization in nephrology nursing, ANNA is where you will gain access to cutting edge information and opportunities for networking that advance your career. If you are dedicated to your personal and professional development, membership in ANNA can help you achieve your goals as well as help you participate in the advancement of nursing science. You will also receive our bimonthly Nephrology Nursing Journal, weekly newsletter, and access to our online library (“Membership,” 2018). Opportunities for volunteering, mentoring, and education are always available for members too. In fact, membership opens doors for you to expand your career through access to grants, scholarships, and professional awards (“Membership,” 2018). The ANNA is endorsed by other professional organizations like the American Nurses Association (“Recent Endorsements and Correspondence,” 2018).
