Membership of the National Enrolled Nurse Section
The National Enrolled Nurse Section promotes the profession, lobbies on behalf of enrolled nurses and ensures legislation, education and recognition is maintained for enrolled nurses.
Our Regional Enrolled Nurse Sections offer excellent opportunities for mutual support and to share information, express concerns, discuss employment issues, develop education i.e. study days; and promote the professional role of enrolled nurses and nursing.
Memberships Available
- Full membership of the National Section is available to Enrolled Nurses and Nurse Assistants who are financial members of NZNO and are members of a Regional Enrolled Nurse Section.
- Enrolled Nurses who have an additional Qualification (e.g. they are now a Registered Nurse/Midwife) and are practising within that scope of practice are not eligible for full membership of the Section but are welcome as associate members.
- Associate membership is also available to enrolled nurses or nurse assistants interested in enrolled nursing or nurse assistant nursing, but not necessarily in practice. They must be members of NZNO unless they meet the criteria for retired nurse member. Associate members will pay a levy to the National Enrolled Nurse Section as set down by the Annual General Meeting. Associate members may not hold office, propose nominations or motions or have voting rights. The name and address of associate members shall appear in the register of members.
