Currently, A&A Nurses Registry is the only non-profit nursing association registry operating in northern New Jersey. Because our mission is to promote the excellence of nursing practice and there are no profit motives involved, the association is able to take extraordinary care in reviewing member nurses' credentials. As a result, A&A has established itself as referring the finest and most reputable RN's in the area.

A&A members are New Jersey licensed Registered Professional Nurses with an average of 15 years acute care experience. Before being referred by A&A, they are screened by the association's rigorous application and credentials process to insure that each meets the highest of professional nursing standards. Each member must agree to an annual credentials and CPR update to maintain an active status on the registry. A&A members form a very diverse group. They have graduated from Associate, Diploma, Baccalaureate and Graduate degree programs in nursing. Among our membership there are those who hold various ANA certifications (RNC, medical - surgical etc.) as well as certifications in case

management, critical care, CPR instruction, I.V. and PICC line management, ventilator care, wound care, dialysis, etc...
