NBNA and Tuskegee Airmen Scholarship Foundation Scholarship - Press Release

The National Black Nurses Association is fortunate to have great nursing leaders among its leadership in a variety of areas.  The summary below is just an example of the signature programs and activities that draw African American nurses to NBNA.  These programs help NBNA members grow stronger as they seek to provide culturally competent health care services in our communities.

The National Black Nurses Association (NBNA) was organized in 1971 under the leadership of Dr. Lauranne Sams, former Dean and Professor of Nursing, School of Nursing, Tuskegee University, Tuskegee, Alabama.  NBNA is a non-profit organization incorporated on September 2, 1972 in the state of Ohio.  NBNA represents 150,000 African American registered nurses, licensed vocational/practical nurses, nursing students and retired nurses from the USA, Eastern Caribbean and Africa, with 83 chartered chapters, in 34 states.
