National Nurses United (NNU) is the largest union of registered nurses in the United States, representing hundreds of thousands of nurses nationwide. The organization advocates for patient safety, improved working conditions for nurses, expanded access to healthcare, and a strengthened public healthcare system.
NNU typically pursues legislation related to safe nurse-to-patient staffing ratios, workplace safety standards, collective bargaining rights, universal healthcare expansion including Medicare for All, public health protections, and hospital accountability measures.
National Nurses United is primarily funded through membership dues from registered nurses.
NNU is affiliated with state nursing unions including the California Nurses Association and National Nurses Organizing Committee, and has been a prominent advocate alongside healthcare reform coalitions supporting Medicare for All.
