Join a Local AANN Chapter
Get more involved in your professional community and meet neuro nurses near you!
Joining an AANN chapter will allow you to connect with other nurses to discuss how to advance your practice, keep up-to-date on neuroscience requirements, earn continuing education credits, and meet throughout the year at local nursing events. To learn more about which chapter is right for you, find your state below.
Join a chapter online by visiting the AANN Online Store and adding a chapter to your cart. Or, join by phone at 847.375.4733. If you join a chapter in the middle of your national membership cycle, your chapter dues will be prorated.
If you are a local chapter leader, or would like to start your own chapter, visit the Chapter Leader Resource Area for additional information and downloads regarding your professional nursing organization.
