JOIN THE OHIO NURSES ASSOCIATION!

 

ONA is about moving forward. The Voice of Ohio’s Registered Nurses Since 1904. The Ohio Nurses Association is a strong community of union and non-union registered nurses who are dedicated to protecting and advancing the profession and impacting healthcare in Ohio. We move you forward in your profession and career by supplying the resources for you to be the up-to-date, modern, and connected nurse of today.

We move all nurses forward through our advocacy! Without our work with Ohio General Assembly, Ohio Board of Nursing, employers and other healthcare organizations, there would not be many of the advances in nursing and healthcare in Ohio that there are today.

I joined ONA because it is the top professional organization for nursing. ONA gives me access to the best resources to make me a competent nurse and practice effective patient advocacy. ONA means action, protection, advocacy, power, and networking.
