This program within the Florida Nurses Association focuses on improving the working conditions of Florida registered nurses. It is a member benefit for registered nurses not represented by the FNA collective bargaining program. Five elected commissioners serve as advocates for nurses and develop strategies to address and improve relevant workplace issues. The FNA-WFA program is a member of the national Center for American Nurses with two delegate seats for representation at its annual meeting.

The purposes of the WFA are:

• Serve as the sole exclusive Workforce advocacy program for FNA.
• Support nurses in personal and professional growth and development in the practice setting to promote positive work-related experiences.
• Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to provide services and develop policies that positively impact the work environment.
