## National Association of Hispanic Nurses

Arizona College of Nursing is honored to partner with National Association of
Hispanic Nurses (NAHN); the leading organization advocating for Latino nurses in
communities nationwide. While Latinos represent 18% of the US population, less
than 7% of the nursing workforce is of Latino descent. We share NAHN’s
commitment to advancing and supporting the growth of Latino nurses both
professionally and through education.

As part of its commitment to NAHN, Arizona College of Nursing will cover the
cost of national and local dues (where applicable) for Core Nursing students
interested in joining NAHN while enrolled as students. This offer is being
extended to Core Nursing students at all nursing campuses.

Additionally, Arizona College of Nursing has become a corporate member of NAHN
and joined its Council of Business Advisors. Partnering with organizations such
as Pfizer, United Health Group, and CVS to develop strategies to support Latino
nurses and communities. Arizona College of Nursing will also develop an annual
scholarship for pre-licensure nursing students that will be awarded at the
annual NAHN conference. The criteria for this scholarship will be developed in
partnership with NAHN with the inaugural award scheduled for the summer of 2022.

Since 1975 NAHN has been the nation’s leading professional society for Latino
nurses.  With a growing membership in 47 local chapters, NAHN represents the
voices of Latino nurses in our country. NAHN is devoted to promoting safe,
quality health care delivery to Latino communities and individuals, and
recognizes excellence among Latino nurses, provides formal and informal
mentoring opportunities, and generally serves as a center of excellence for its
members. Their goal is to create a cadre of highly qualified Latino nurses by
advancing educational, professional and leadership skills and opportunities for
its membership.
