Minnesota Organization of Registered Nurses

The Minnesota Organization of Registered Nurses (MNORN) is the state’s constituent member of the American Nurses Association (ANA). While Minnesota has had an association affiliated with ANA for over a century, MNORN was formed just recently in 2011.

Prior to 2008 the Minnesota Nurses Association (MNA) had been the state’s constituent member for the ANA for over a century. In 2008, MNA’s House of Delegates voted to end its affiliation with the ANA without putting it to a full member vote against ANA requirements that 2/3 of the members of a constituent organization must participate in any vote to sever ties with the ANA.

So in 2011, a group of RN’s from Minnesota
came together to create MNORN so that the state’s RNs could once again have a constituent member organization of and representation within the American Nurses Association.

MNORN states as their mission:

“MNORN, a constituent member of the American Nurses Association (ANA), is dedicated to advancing the profession of nursing in Minnesota through advocacy, leadership development, education and mentorship.”
