Give Yourself an Edge - Join ONA Today!
While the occupational outlook for nursing is
excellent even in a lagging economy, it varies between occupational
setting and geography. The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that
while the profession will continue to grow and add jobs, growth will
slow in the hospital setting which employs 59% of the country’s
2.5 million registered nurses. Growth is expected to rise in
physicians’ offices, outpatient settings and other areas that have
more regular work hours, but there will be greater competition for those
jobs.
So what can you do to edge out the competition and
ensure that you can always have the nursing job that you want? Join the
Ohio Nurses Association! We are a multi-purpose professional association
that serves union and non-union nurses. We are the recognized leader and
advocate for all Ohio nurses, regardless of work environment.
What Does ONA Do?
We provide you with quality nursing practice
information and continuing education to keep you on the cutting edge of
your field. We advocate for you at the Statehouse every day to protect
your ability to care for your patients. We are working to enhance the
value of our program to help non-union nurses effectively deal with
workplace and employment situations, and we provide
collective-bargaining services to our union members. We also provide you
with opportunities to get involved, network with colleagues and help
shape the future of nursing.
When you join the Ohio Nurses Association, your dues
include membership in the American Nurses Association and your local
district nurses association, so you are represented at the national,
state and local level. We also provide our members with a range of
discounted products and services just for being a member of
ONA!
How Much Does it Cost?
Dues range from $33 - $47 a month for non-union nurses
based on where you work or live. Additionally, we understand the
economic challenges faced by new graduates, unemployed and retired
nurses and we offer reduced dues rates to accommodate those situations.
You can pay your ONA dues monthly by having your dues automatically
drafted from your bank account or you can pay the full dues amount
annually by check or credit card.
