Connect a Student with NANN Membership
NANN gives nursing students a head start in neonatal care while they’re still in school, giving them access to current research, mentorship, and conversations happening in NICUs across the country.
Students can explore the specialty, build professional connections, and start learning what neonatal nursing really looks like beyond the classroom—all at a discounted student rate. Many nurses tell us this early exposure helped shape their career path and gave them confidence as they moved into practice.
Share our one‑page student membership flyer with nursing students and your alma mater to help them get connected to NANN.
