Unified Membership Structure

The Oregon School Nurses Association (OSNA) has agreed that members of the organization must belong to both OSNA and the National Association of School Nurses, Inc. (NASN).  Membership dues are collected and managed at NASN national headquarters. OSNA Members receive essential support to ensure that school nurses can deliver evidence-based, best-practice nursing care to students throughout Oregon. The OSNA Membership Committee collects data to determine the needs of Oregon's school nurses, disseminates information about national and state level programs and services which meet the needs of the membership, and communicated through a regional representation structure to ensure that school nurses, and those who employ them, understand the benefits of membership in OSNA and NASN.

All of the membership benefits offered to members by NASN are extended to OSNA members.
