FNF was established by members of the Florida Nurses Association (FNA) in 1983. The FNF focus has evolved over time to include support of nursing education and research and to provide assistance to nurses in need, as well as public policy education. Funding for FNF initiatives comes from FNA member donations, entrusted FNA member funds and FNF fundraising efforts.
The FNA mission (floridanurse.org) is to serve and support all registered nurses through professional development, advocacy, and the promotion of excellence at every level of professional nursing practice.
