Exploring Member Engagement and Participation in a Professional Oncology Nursing Organization
Abstract
Membership in professional nursing organizations (PNOs) benefits novice and experienced nurses. One advantage of PNO participation is access to continuing education, which promotes the implementation of evidence-based practice (Bazinski & Wilson, 2023), ultimately improving the quality of nursing care. In addition to providing members with a shared sense of purpose, PNOs grant nurses a platform to engage with the community, affecting regional health care through advocacy and professional development (Bazinski & Wilson, 2023; Castaños & Bowden, 2024; Smith, 2024).
