The American Nurses Association (ANA) recently amended its bylaws to expand membership eligibility to include Licensed Practical Nurses and Licensed Vocational Nurses (LPNs/LVNs) with the same membership rights as Registered Nurses.

This does not automatically change the Mississippi Nurses’ Association’s bylaws or membership structure. MNA is gathering member feedback to help inform discussion during MNA’s 115th House of Delegates.

MNA invites members to take five minutes to complete an anonymous survey to share your feedback. Results will be shared only in summary form.
