JANS is an active organization that includes school and community.
Any nursing student is eligible for membership.
Benefits of membership includes health insurance at a reduced rate, special rates on credit cards, and a subscription to Imprint magazine. Imprint is a magazine that is written and published by nursing students. As members, students are encouraged to run for office and serve on committees. Being dedicated and committed to an organization during school eases the transition into becoming a professional nurse. The NSNA conventions are held all over the United States, and the AANS are held at different sites across Alabama.
