The Nursing Community Coalition
Includes 64 members organizations that are the cross section of education, practice, research, and regulation within the nursing profession. With over four and a half million licensed Registered Nurses (RNs), Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs), and nursing students, the profession embodies the drive and passion to continually improve care for patients, families, and communities.
