Become a Member of ASNE

Are you a nurse interested in health economics? A researcher exploring issues related to nursing, health care systems, or nursing organizations? A manager who deals with questions of quality, resources, and staffing on a daily basis?

ASNE is your community

We provide a space for exchange, collaboration, and shared learning. We welcome members at every stage of their careers—from those who are just beginning to explore the economics of nursing to experienced researchers and practitioners.


What to Expect When You Join

When you join ASNE, you’ll receive an invitation to our next meeting. This is an informal gathering where you can get to know the group and learn more about the topics we’re currently exploring. From then on, you’ll become part of a network that shares resources, organizes events together, and seeks opportunities for collaboration. Meetings are held about every two to three months. New members are welcome to participate at their own pace.


Who can become a member?

Membership is open to all VfP members who meet one of the following criteria: 

  • An academic degree in nursing science or 
  • a background in nursing science, including at least a master's degree in a field related to nursing economics. 

Membership fees and registration are handled through the VFP.
