American Nurses Association is a large nonprofit organization that represents professional nurses and their leadership in shaping the future of healthcare. Through the American Nurses Enterprise, which includes the ANA, the Credentialing Center, and the Foundation, it seeks to raise nursing standards and extend the influence of nurses across all practices and specialties. Its primary constituents are nurses across diverse fields, and the organization supports advocacy, credentialing, and educational initiatives to enhance patient care and professional practice. Based in Silver Spring, Maryland, the organization has a history spanning more than a century of leadership in nursing. In May 2026, the ANA filed a lawsuit against the Department of Education, announced in collaboration with other nursing organizations, reflecting active engagement in policy and advocacy.
