NYSNA is a strong union for RNs, fighting to protect nurses' rights, including safe, well-staffed working environments, a voice in establishing standards of care, fair salaries and benefits, to ensure members well-being.
NYSNA believes that nurses have a right to participate in decisions affecting them as employees and professionals. The NYS Nurses Association is one of the largest and oldest RN collective bargaining representatives in the country.

NYSNA and several other state nurses associations comprise a new national union, the National Federation of Nurses (NFN).
New: The NFN announces the launch of a new, more interactive website. The new design and functionality allows NFN to provide relevant content through an up-to-date “Right Now” section. Visit nfn.org to experience the new design and check back often for photos, resources and news items about what’s happening across the union, the nursing profession and the labor industry.
