Is the ANA to nurses what the ALA is to librarians -- A liberal mouthpiece that doesn't necessarily reflect the views of its members?
The ANA has been an embarrasement to nursing for more than twenty years.
Yes, and for more than 20 years I have refused to join. Here's to 20 more.
Actually, it's been a lot longer than twenty years. Back in 1960, when I graduated from nursing school, I was already aware of their bias--although at the time, I don't think the word "liberal" was so much in use then. I certainly never joined them!
