MEMBERSHIP

Download PDF Version of NANNM Code of Conduct

The Association has membership strength of about 35,000.  This figure is however, fast depleting owing to the following factors; brain drain, the on-going reform in the Health sector characterized by down-sizing/right sizing, government   policy of ban on employment, non-existent policy on replacement of retired and dead nurses, death of nurses owing to professional hazards such as HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B and C, malaria and tuberculosis.  These conditions are preventive, but due to non-existent policy on staff vaccination and post exposure prophylaxis, the figure is becoming alarming.

Membership is open to all Nurses and Midwives registered with the nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria, employed in the services of the Federal, State, Local Government and/or any other Institution/Establishment whether private or public.

Validity of membership is dependent on regular payment of annual/monthly subscription, levies, loyalty to the Association and good behaviour.
