Nurses have the professional duty and obligation to belong to a professional organization (DeLeskey, 2003; Echevarria, 2018; Greggs-McQuilkin, 2005; Schroeder, 2013; Sullivan & Stevenson, 2009). As members of nursing organizations, nurses are able to generate energy, promote the exchange of ideas and contribute to the advancement of nursing through involvement with other nurses. Collectively and synergistically, nurses are able to advocate for the needs of patients and clients through the organized work of the members and leaders of their professional associations. Ultimately, nurses gain the trust of the society through the social, civic and professional activities, programs and initiatives of professional organizations (Matthews, 2012).
