A Chapter of The National Black Nurses Association Inc.
As a member, you will join over 250,000 that NBNA represents and those who recognize the value of belonging to the only professional African American nursing association. Through our 114 chapters, we provide countless hours of community-based health care services and outreach to African American communities across our Nation.
ABNA’s mission is to provide health services and implement projects to high-risk underprivileged communities. This section highlights those services provided to a particular community by ABNA for the benefit and betterment of their community. ABNA collaborates with several agencies in the community and welcome the partnership.
On behalf of the Acadiana Black Nurses Association (ABNA), we are pleased to forward you the scholarship/stipend application. One of ABNA’s major initiative is to provide nursing students an opportunity to obtain financial assistance to help in achieving their goal in completing their nursing program. This financial assistance is open to all nursing students in the Acadiana Region.
We need your help to accomplish our goals and continue to impact the communities in need. Your donation (of any amount) will have an impact on improving the health and wellness of minority and high-risk communities by allowing ABNA to purchase health screening supplies, sponsoring educational offerings for nurses and recruitment, and secure money to host future scholarship fundraisers events.
The mission of ABNA is to serve all indigent populations of the Acadiana region by providing a forum for black nurses to advocate and implement strategies to ensure access to the highest quality of healthcare for persons of color. The organization is not an exclusive black nursing organization nor an exclusive RN organization. All nurses (LPN, RN, APRNs) and student nurses are welcomed to join ABNA. Members of ABNA serve jointly as members of LSNA/ANA and other nursing organizations.
ABNA has an established affiliate member status allowing for inclusion of non-nursing related individuals to join and assist in the effort to address access to care and diminish social and health disparities among minorities and underserved populations in the community.
