Important Information About
Your Dues

 

The NACNS Board of Directors has voted to increase the NACNS membership dues as of January 1, 2013.  The Board voted to increase dues in an effort to meet the NACNS strategic plan and to position the association to better advocate for the role of the CNS in the current political and economic environment.

"The NACNS Board has been engaged in a multi-year effort to help the association weather the challenges of this economy.  Concurrently, the CNS role has been under attack in several states and there are many options opening for health care providers with the implementation with healthcare reform.  NACNS must be positioned to take advantage of these opportunities and counter the threats to our practice.  The dues increase will allow NACNS to make great strides in this direction."

Rachel Moody, MS, CNS, RN, NACNS 2012 President

 

Effective on January 1, 2013 the standard member dues rate will now be $159.00 annually. 

This represents a $34.00 annual increase, about the cost of a specialty cup of coffee each month for a year.  

NACNS does offer a multi-year membership option that allows NACNS members to realize a percentage reduction in their dues if they renew using this option.
