Win-Win 100
RNAO is turning 100 in 2025! To celebrate, we’re giving $5,000 cash toward attendance at the International Council of Nurses Congress in Helsinki, Finland (June 9 -13, 2025) to RNAO members who recruits 100 new members by April 30, 2025.
To support and encourage more members to attend ICN, as of Sept. 25, 2024:
- if you recruit 50 members* you will receive $1,000 toward attendance at ICN, AND
- receive 6 years of membership for FREE!
Recruitment Rewards
Recruit 5 RN/NP nursing colleagues or friends and get 1 membership year for free.
Even if you do not recruit 5 members, with each new sign up you will earn $20 RNAO dollars if you recruit an RN/NP, and $5 if you recruit an undergraduate nursing student or internationally educated nurse (IEN) associate!
Put this money towards your membership renewal or one of RNAO's great conferences and courses!
