NSRH members are part of a trusted community that unites people, knowledge, and networks from across the nursing field to improve the health and wellness of our communities.
Being a disruptive, passionate SRH nurse can be isolating. That is why Nurses for Sexual and Reproductive Health exists.
The time to act is now.
Many practitioners who are committed to providing comprehensive sexual and reproductive health care services to their patients may face isolation in their institutions or even danger in the broader community. You need a community of supportive, like-minded peers who can encourage your continued education and growth in SRH. NSRH provides that community along with access to education, advocacy resources, and professional development opportunities that can help you become a nurse leader in the sector. NSRH provides a trusted space for members to have conversations about their work with colleagues and to learn and grow together in a safe environment. To maintain this high level of comfort and intimacy, new NSRH members gain access to additional benefits by building up their Trust Level, a measure of each member’s engagement with NSRH that increases as they participate in more activities and become more actively involved in our community. By coming together, we can shift the power structure of nursing and transform healthcare to not only include, but celebrate sexual and reproductive health.

Frequently Asked Questions
With the free student membership available for up to 4 years, do I need to use those years consecutively?
No, you can use the 4 free years of student membership anytime you are enrolled in a nursing program. All student members will be subject to re-verification during every year of enrollment. To re-verify your student membership, students must submit a proof of enrollment. We accept the following documents:

Please ensure the document clearly shows your full name and the enrollment date or period. Student IDs are not accepted.
I don’t know anyone in the NSRH membership. What is the process for joining to gain access to the membership benefits?
Every NSRH member is required to submit a membership application. Pending approval, all members will have access to all membership benefits including but not limited to: the Online Institute, Learning Hub, Community/Networking. We are constantly updating our membership benefits!
I recently graduated and can’t afford a Professional Nursing membership right now, can I still participate?
Absolutely! We offer one free year to recent graduates from nursing programs who participated in our NSRH student membership or were involved with their campus chapter program. We do not want cost to be a barrier for participation, contact us at [email protected] for dues assistance options.
Are there time limits on specific member types?
All membership types are valid for 1 year after signing up, with the exception of the 2 year Nursing Professional membership type. All student memberships (nursing and non-nursing students) will be subject to re-verification every year. To reverify, students will be required to submit proof of enrollment. Once graduated, all student memberships qualify for the free First-Year Professional Membership, which is valid for 1 year immediately following graduation after participating with NSRH student membership or a campus chapter program.
I’m interested in starting an NSRH chapter on my campus, are there costs associated with student chapters?
Yes, there can be costs associated with starting and maintaining an NSRH student chapter. However, we believe that chapter leaders should not bear that financial burden. NSRH provides stipends to chapter leads to help cover expenses such as speaker fees, space rentals, event materials, and other chapter-related costs.
