Welcome
In March 1904, a group of individual nurses and local nursing school alumnae associations founded the New York County Nurses Association. Founders represented Presbyterian, Mt. Sinai, New York City, German (now Lenox Hill), Roosevelt, Lebanon and New York Infirmary, New York Hospital and St. Luke's. The purpose of the organization was to elevate professional nursing standards. In April that same year, the Association was admitted to membership in the New York State Nurses Association.
NYCRNA works on behalf of professional nurses to promote standards of nursing practice, education and research; supports health and social legislation in the public interest; and represents the nursing profession to the public, other professional groups, and regulatory agencies. The New York Counties Registered Nurses Association (NYCRNA) is the largest and oldest local professional nursing association in the United States. NYCRNA's geographic boundaries include New York, Bronx and Richmond counties (Manhattan, Bronx and Staten Island).
