Instead of collecting contacts, focus on creating real connections with nurses who challenge, support, and grow with you.

Be intentional: Seek out nurses across roles, settings, and generations.
Be generous: Share knowledge, resources, and opportunities—not just business cards.
Be consistent: Follow up, check in, and stay engaged over time.

A strong professional network is not a list of names—it is a community that helps you lead change for nursing.
Become a member of ARNA or follow us on social media or on our website at www.arna.org.
