American Nurses Association Illinois 1.1

ANA-Illinois is the professional association for registered nurses in Illinois.

ANA-Illinois together with our national partner, the American Nurses Association (ANA), will continue to build a community of nurses dedicated to advancing their profession and providing safe, affordable healthcare.

We are an organization that advocates for all of nursing– providing a voice for all nurses across all specialties and practice settings. We protect the practice of nursing by ensuring that nursing's priorities are incorporated into legal and regulatory decisions. We understand what’s important – issues such as oversight of scope of practice, appropriate use of unlicensed personnel and the impact of managed care. We safeguard and promote licensure, credentialing and the right of the profession to define nursing practice.
