The California Nurses Association (CNA) is a professional organization that represents registered nurses in California. It advocates for nurses' rights, safe working conditions, and high-quality patient care through collective bargaining, policy influence, and education. CNA aims to improve healthcare by ensuring nurses have a strong voice in workplace decisions and healthcare policies, promoting ethical standards, and advancing public health initiatives. It operates as a union, enabling nurses to negotiate better wages, benefits, and working conditions, ultimately benefiting both healthcare providers and patients.
