The Florida Nurses Association
Conferences and Continuing Education Programs

The Florida Nurses Association is committed to providing quality educational opportunities for the nurses of Florida. Our programs are designed for and often by the members of the association to meet the needs of a variety of practitioners. In addition, the programs provide an opportunity for networking with colleagues as well as professional growth by attending or participating in the programs as a presenter. These programs are offered to members at a discounted rate, but non-members are encouraged to get to know us by attending some of our programs. FNA programs that offer continuing education are automatically reported to CE Broker.
