The Utah Nurses Association (UNA), founded in 1914, advocates for the state’s over 47,000 registered nurses and is the ONLY state organization representing the interests of all nurses regardless of specialty or practice setting. UNA is a voluntary, membership based, professional, non-for-profit organization and is a Constituent/State Nurses Association (C/SNA) of the American Nurses Association (ANA)

UNA leaders represent Utah nursing professional interests in a wide variety of meetings, coalitions, legislative hearings, conferences and work groups throughout the year, anticipating and responding to the issues that UNA members have identified as priorities. In addition to numerous meetings with legislators, regulators, policymakers and leaders of other health care organizations, UNA collaborates with specialty nursing organizations such as the Utah Nurse Practitioners, Utah Organization of Nurse Leaders and the Utah Action Coalition to advocate for nursing professionals and the health of all Utahns.

Membership in UNA is a dual membership in the American Nurses Association (ANA) which now represents over 5 million nurses across the nation. ANA’s Mission Statement is “Nurses advancing our profession to improve health for all.” Current nursing students may join ANA/UNA as “student subscribers” and begin building their professional networks and commitment to collaboration with others supporting the goals and activities of professional nursing.
