Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

The NLN was the first nursing organization in the United States and was founded in 1893. Part of the mission of the NLN is to promote excellence in nursing education to build a strong and diverse nursing workforce. The NSNA is a nonprofit organization that mentors nursing students who are preparing for initial licensing as a registered nurse. The ANA fosters high standards of nursing practice, promotes the rights of nurses in the workplace, projects a positive and realistic view of nursing, and lobbies Congress and regulatory agencies on healthcare issues affecting nurses and the public. The AACN is the national voice for America's baccalaureate and graduate nursing education programs.
