You care for everyone else. We care for you.


ONA is a powerful network of nurses who know first-hand the important role nurses play in healthcare, and the struggles nurses face on a daily basis from inadequate staffing, unsupportive management and a lack of appreciation for our work.
Nurses formed ONA in 1904 so they may have a powerful platform for the protection, promotion and advancement of our profession, beginning with Ohio’s Nurse Practice Act.
Today ONA still serves as the only voice for all of Ohio’s 180,000 RNs. ONA’s nurses have molded the nursing and healthcare landscape in Ohio since the beginning of the 20th century.

Why Become a Member?

ONA is about moving forward.  We move you forward in your profession and career by supplying the resources for you to be the up-to-date, modern and connected nurse of today.

We move all nurses forward through our advocacy work, as ONA is the only organization in Ohio that actively advocates for all the state’s nurses.  Without our work with Ohio General Assembly, Ohio Board of Nursing, employers and other healthcare organizations, there would not be many of the advances in nursing and healthcare in Ohio that there is today.
