UAN is the union for nurses, by nurses, with staff nurses establishing our agenda and steering our course. UAN staff nurses set the standard for RNs in organizing, collective bargaining and groundbreaking contracts that protect patients and give RNs across the nation a voice in their workplace.

Our mission, as set by our members, is bold—as the premier union for registered nurses, we work to shape the future of all staff nurses and the health care system for the better by improving the economic and general welfare of nurses, providing a quality work environment, protecting nurse and patient safety and influencing nursing practice standards.
