The New York State Nurses Association

The NYSNA is a union of 42,000 frontline nurses standing together for strength at work, our practice, safe staffing, and healthcare for all. They are New York’s largest union and professional association for registered nurses.

• VICTORIES: NYSNA nurses are uniting with patients to keep hospitals open for care, protect patient care, and stop the for-profit takeover of hospitals.

• LEADERSHIP: The union is led by frontline nurses elected by members. They draw on the experience and opinions of hundreds of local leaders across the union to set the direction for the movement.
• VISION: NYSNA is 42,000 nurses working together to win safe staffing, keeping hospitals open for care, stopping the Wall Street attack on patients, and winning healthcare for all.
