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.
