Virginia League for Nursing
TRANSITIONING VLN ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
As you may know, effective January 1, 2025, the National League for Nursing introduced the Alliance Leagues for Nursing, transitioning away from the previous Constituent League model. This new structure grants state leagues like VLN greater autonomy to tailor programming and decision-making to the needs of our local nursing communities.
While we now operate independently, VLN remains deeply committed to the mission we share with the NLN: to promote excellence in nursing education and to build a strong, diverse, and future-oriented workforce. This transition is not a parting of ways, but a powerful recommitment to local leadership, innovation, and collaboration.
As the VLN transitions into this new Alliance structure, we are exploring options to further enhance collaboration and professional development opportunities, including the following three options:
1) VLN Alliance
2) Mideast Alliance at the West Virginia League for Nursing
3) Join the Virginia Nurses Association
Details about each option and voting access has been sent to your email.
Voting will be open until June 30th.
BREAKING NEWS
ORGANIZATIONAL RESTRUCTURING
In a move to provide State Leagues of Nursing with decision-making control over how best to meet the needs of local constituents, the National League for Nursing announced the creation of the Alliance of Leagues for Nursing. Effective January 1, 2025, this new group replaced the NLN Constituent Leagues for Nursing.
Although the Alliance will operate independently, it is committed to a clear mission closely aligned with that of the National League for Nursing—to promote excellence in nursing education to build a strong and diverse nursing workforce to advance the health of our nation and global community by focusing on nursing education at the local, state, and regional levels.
The Virginia League for Nursing remains dedicated to collaborating on best practices and actively participating in joint programming initiatives and partnerships aimed at professional development. These efforts will contribute to generating evidence that supports the scholarship of teaching at both the state and local levels.
