Due to the fact that we are an all-volunteer organization, we are no longer able to sell merchandise to non-members. But please join us and support our work! We can't do this alone. We need you to help us work toward a more positive image of nursing--a necessary step in solving the nursing shortage. Our membership levels start at $9. They are certainly among the most reasonable membership levels among nursing organizations. If you can't afford to join, you can become a Gratis member which will make you eligible to buy merchandise.

Suzanne Gordon's "Just a Nurse" poster


Distressingly often we hear people (including nurses themselves) say that nurses are "just a nurse." Many might not say these words, but rather think them. They act as if the only health care workers who really matter are, well, you know, physicians. People have this presumption because they don't understand the value of nurisng work. This poem works to educate people who think we are "just nurses" that indeed, we are proud to life-saving, outcome-improving professionals who take pride in delivering this vital care. Perfect for your workplace breakroom--we know many people of all professions who would benefit by reading the poster. Members $15, Non-members: $20.

(This frame is not recommended for states that have stickers or state names on the bottom of the plate, or for Texas, because of a law on license plate frames. The frame fits license plates in the US and Canada.) Members $17, Non-members $22.
