The three founding organizations are the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee, United American Nurses and Massachusetts Nurses Association.
The organization represents direct-care nurses and lists the following major goals:
- organizing nurses into a single organization “capable of exercising influence over the healthcare industry, governments, and employers”;
- promoting effective collective bargaining;
- championing issues such as enactment of nurse-to-patient ratios and patient advocacy rights; and
- winning “healthcare for all as a human right.”
“This means we finally have [an organization and constitution] that directly challenges the role of corporations in healthcare delivery,” said Minnesota Nurses Association President Linda Hamilton, RN.
