American Society of Registered Nurses
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The American Society of Registered Nurses (ASRN) was founded in May, 2003 for the purpose of bringing together professional nurses interested in forming a nursing "society" which is defined as "A group of humans broadly distinguished from other groups by mutual interests, participation in characteristic relationships, shared institutions, and a common culture".
Today, this Society has over 1,176,000 active registered nurse members spanning the United States and 4 territories. The Society brings together nurses from all fields of inquiry, regions, and specializations both inside and outside academe in order to expand the study and practice of nursing, and offer support, representation, education, and distinction to its members.
