Role of Professional Organizations in the Field of Nursing: Advocacy and Activism

After completing the nursing course, every nurse should register in any of the 100

available professional nursing organizations. While it may be a voluntary decision, it is

indispensable and essential for nurses to become members of their respective professional

organizations due to the many benefits nurses reap in do in so. Professional organizations are

crucial bodies where nurses link up with peers from similar fields to learn from one another and

form more vital voices to influence policy and activism. These organizations support the nursing

field by enhancing peer relationships, increasing nursing knowledge, and providing a platform

where nurses can unite to channel their views.

I have benefited greatly as a professional nursing organization member of the American

Nurses Association (ANA). For instance, I have not only had the opportunity to connect with

peers but also experienced protection of my rights as a practicing nurse. Besides, professional

nursing organizations provide us, nurses with an opportunity to progress our education and

advocate for our rights and that of patients.

Our patients are at the center of healthcare delivery. Therefore, championing their rights

through pushing for relevant policies and legislation is one of the crucial roles of professional

nursing organizations. For instance, one of ANA’s missions is to improve healthcare delivery

standards, which enables the organization to act as a political and legal advocate for nurses to

improve quality care for the benefit of patients and nurses alike. Also, when nurses face

challenges in their workplace, the professional organizations’ activism becomes a collective

voice promoting nurses’ welfare in their work environment. Depending on the scope and

jurisdiction of the professional organization, patient care will improve according to the local,

national or international health and patient care standards.
