The American Nurses Association (ANA) is a national American professional association based in Silver Spring, Maryland that represents the interests of health care professionals and promotes and supports the advancement of professional health and nursing . The association based in Silver Spring, Maryland has its origins in the professional organization Nurses Associated Alumnae , founded in 1896 and renamed the American Nurses Association in 1911.

In addition to several regular publications, including the association magazine The American Nurse , the professional association has three sub-organizations
