“My NCNA membership means that I have a voice! Having knowledge of and an appreciation for the future direction of nursing in North Carolina allows me to be a part of the growing future of nursing."
Ryan Lewis, RN, BSN“I joined NCNA as a new graduate and I encourage the nursing students I teach to do the same. We need to model professional behavior and show new nurses the importance of getting involved; by our attitude and actions we can influence change.”
Megan Williams, MSN, RN, FNP“NCNA provides an opportunity for me to be involved with Nursing at a higher level than what employment alone can provide; which allows greater ability for me to participate in important nursing activities and interests."
Donna Owen, RN, BSN“NCNA membership has afforded me with multiple growth and development opportunities. For example, as a member of the Informatics Council, I have hosted council meetings, coordinated speakers and developed a network of colleagues in the field of nursing informatics who are an invaluable resource regarding best practices."
Robin Hack, MSN, RN, NE-BC“NCNA has been a wonderfully effective training ground for every leadership position I have held over the last 20 years.”
