The American Nurses Association (ANA) recently amended its bylaws to expand membership eligibility to include Licensed Practical Nurses and Licensed Vocational Nurses (LPNs/LVNs) with the same membership rights as Registered Nurses. This change does not automatically change the Mississippi Nurses’ Association’s bylaws or membership structure. MNA is gathering member feedback to help inform discussion during MNA’s 115th House of Delegates on October 21, 2026.
MNA invites you to take five minutes to complete this anonymous survey. Results will be shared only in summary form.
Please complete the survey by September 8, 2026.
