Welcome
District 11 of the New York State Nurses Association was founded in 1919 by three alumnae associations in Ulster and Orange counties. The District originally included five counties: Greene, Orange, Ulster, Rockland and Sullivan. From the beginning, organizing meetings proved to be difficult due to its vast geographical area. Eventually redistricting was recommended. Rockland County left to form District 17. Orange and Sullivan Counties became District 18 and in January 1955, the membership voted to have District 11 to include Ulster and Greene Counties. Today District 11 encompasses registered professional nurses who live and work in these two counties.
