The Largest Nursing Network in the World, Only through the Ohio Nurses Association

The Ohio Nurses Association is a multi-purpose professional association for Registered Nurses in the state of Ohio that offers RNs a variety of services including continuing education opportunities, nursing practice information and standards of care, legislative advocacy and collective bargaining.

Organized in 1904 to secure a Nurse Practice Act to protect the citizens of Ohio, ONA has been promoting and protecting nurses, the nursing profession, and those who receive nursing care for over one hundred years. ONA's Headquarters are in the Dorothy A. Cornelius Building in Columbus, Ohio.

Every member of ONA is also a member of a local district nurses association and is represented in the American Nurses Association located in Washington, D.C., and the International Council of Nurses, with headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.
