Welcome to Membership
As a member of CNA, you will have a unique opportunity to become a part of a vanguard group of healthcare professionals, setting the standard of healthcare advocacy in California and across the nation. CNA offers you a state-wide network of Registered Nurses, working with community and consumer groups to ensure a single standard of care for all.
CNA nurses are pioneers in the debate on healthcare reform. We have made history by successfully shifting the focus of the debate from cost containment to patient safety and quality of care.
CNA nurses are now shaping the healthcare debate through leadership in initiative and legislative campaigns, professional conferences and public events, innovative collective bargaining approaches, and nationwide visibility in every major media. In every arena, CNA has proven a strong voice for promoting safe, quality patient care.
Join CNA today and become a patient protection advocate.
