How are we different?
A multipurpose organization
“WSNA speaks out and represents all the issues that affect what each of us do in practice, legislation, workplace, education, and even at the state licensing board. WSNA is more than a union. WSNA is a multipurpose professional association for all registered nurses.”
Julia Weinberg, RN
Staff Nurse
Bow, WA
Run by RNs for RNs
“Run entirely by RNs! Who better to help RNs but RNs?”
Jeanne Avey, RN
Staff Nurse

Focus on Professional Nursing
“WSNA is different from other organizations that I belong to because it is focused on professional nursing [and] on the issues that affect Washington State and my nursing practice and the care that I provide, and the care that I supervise other nurses giving to patients.”
Joan Caley, MS, RN, CNS, CAA-BC
Nurse Manager / Educator
Vancouver, WA
Defending Nursing
“I see WSNA as the only organization that attends the board of nursing commission meetings and really defends my rights to practice nursing in this state.”
Tim Davis, BSN, RN
Staff Nurse

Strong and Effective Representation
“With its large membership and strong leadership, WSNA has a very strong presence in Olympia and throughout the state. Nurses of Washington State are fortunate to have such a well-organized and effective organization representing them.”
Heather Bradford, CNM, ARNP
American College of Nurse-Midwives
Individuals Coming Together
“WSNA encompasses a diverse group of indiduals who are supportive, compassionate and actively involved in getting to know its members and making the profession of nursing the best it can be.”
