The Relentless School Nurse: Encouraging NASN Membership for a Friend Who Joins Earns You $10.00 in E-Credit Too! Together We Are #NASNStrong

It’s a win-win proposal, encourage your colleagues to join NASN and if they do, you earn $10.00 in credit too! Here is how it works, simply refer your colleagues to NASN and earn a $10 NASN e-commerce credit for each colleague who joins. Credits can be used toward payments for membership dues, event registrations, merchandise, and publications. 

You can be a NASN influencer by joining in a national, even international effort, to grow our membership through this affiliate program. We are #NASNStrong when our community is informed, connected, and ready to meet the increasing demands of our students and school communities. Membership in NASN is an investment in yourself and in school nursing as a specialty practice. 

I have few regrets in my long school nursing career, but one was not joining NASN from the beginning. I was so isolated and struggling to get through each day, each month, and each school year, that somehow almost 10 years flew by before I reached out for help! Does that sound familiar? Are you feeling disconnected and unsure of the next steps, especially after enduring COVID years?  My best advice to any school nurse who asks me is always, “Join NASN!” We do not have to do this alone friends, we can lean on NASN as our school communities lean on us!

There are almost 96,000 school nurses, imagine our collective power and influence in our school communities if we all MAXIMIZED our time through NASN membership. Let’s join in this inspired idea of growing membership in NASN through #NASNStrong. We have 18,000 members, with room to grow.  If each of us invited our colleagues and shared the many benefits of membership, imagine how quickly we could scale our influence and impact! Plus, who wouldn’t benefit from some e-commerce credit for our efforts?
