Chapter Management
NANN is proud to partner with groups across the nation to bring resources and encouragement to growing professionals in the neonatal nursing field. NANN values the impact that Chapters have in their local communities, as Chapters provide neonatal nurses with a means of networking, a forum for educational programs, an arena to foster leadership qualities, and encouragement to new graduates to enter neonatal nursing.
Chapters receive so much value from the partnership with NANN! We equip chapters with tools for easy administration so they can meet the requirements to maintain our partnership. Learn more about chapter value, resources, and requirements.
