Register For This Event
MNA Members
This category is only for pre-licensure nursing students. You will need to identify the school of nursing that you are attending. If you register incorrectly in this category and are a registered nurse, you will lose the $10 and cannot attend the MNA Legislative Nurses Night. There are no refunds.
If you are a registered nurse incorrectly registered in this pre-licensure nursing student category, you will be notified, and your options to attend will be to register as a non-MNA member ($200) or as an MNA member ($20). Registered nurses may register as new or renewed ANA and MNA member and then register for the MNA Legislative Nurses Night for $20.
While registered nurses who are not MNA members may attend, the MNA Legislative Night is an MNA member benefit, so the cost for non-members is $200. The $200 MNA Legislative Nurses Night registration fee is approximately the same amount as an annual membership for ANA and MNA (you receive two memberships for one low cost) and the registration cost for the MNA Legislative Nurses Night.
Follow the recommendation below to avoid the $200 non-member registration fee for the MNA legislative Nurses night.
You are invited to join ANA and MNA. It will take a couple of business days for your membership to process. After completing your membership, register for the MNA Legislative Nurses Night for $20 as an MNA member. Contact MNAInfo@MarylandRN.org with your questions.
