SCNA Chapters
What is a chapter?
Chapters are groups of nurses who are members of the South Carolina Nurses Association who have been or hereafter may be organized based on shared nursing practice interests or geographical boundaries who adhere to the SCNA Memoradum of Agreement (MOA) for Chapters and have been approved by the majority vote of the board of directors of this association. All members of SCNA are eligible to join any of the Chapters featuring practice areas. There is no additional fee to join any Chapter. Contact Rosie Robinson at rosie@scnurses.org to join, or fill out the consent to participate form that is located in the members only section of our website.
Currently there are 4 SCNA Chapters.
SCNA members are welcome to create new chapters to meet member interests. SCNA members may belong to any number of chapters they desire. Chapters work either at a local level (geographical) or on issues of nursing practice (practice based). They offer opportunities to members who wish to work on specific issues or to promote nursing in their communities. Chapters may meet either in person or electronically. Chapters may provide continuing education, forums, chapter wide meetings, meetings with local legislators, or provide a social meeting for members.

Acute Care Nursing Chapter The chapter aims to provide a platform for acute care nurses to network, collaborate, and advocate for issues that are important to them, such as patient safety, staffing, and professional development. By sharing ideas, resources, and experiences, the members of the chapter can learn from one another and promote excellence in acute care nursing practice.
The chapter recognizes that acute care nurses are a diverse group of healthcare professionals, who come from a variety of backgrounds and generations. The chapter aims to celebrate this diversity and promote inclusivity, recognizing that every member has a unique perspective and set of skills that can contribute to the collective success of the group.
Furthermore, the chapter recognizes the vital role that acute care nurses play in shaping the overall patient experience. They are often the first point of contact for patients and families, and their actions and decisions can have a significant impact on patient outcomes and organizational success. As such, the chapter is committed to promoting the highest standards of nursing practice, with a focus on patient-centered care and evidence-based practice.

APRN Chapter
APRN is the anagram for Advanced Practice Registered Nurse. The anagram APRN is being used more and more by legislative and governing bodies to describe the collection of registered nurses (RNs) that practice in the extended role or practice beyond the normal role of basic registered nursing. The APRN needs special education beyond the four-year baccalaureate degree in nursing. In fact, most APRNs need a master’s degree. The APRN role not only encompasses additional education, but also is a role requiring extra responsibility, critical thinking and judgment. The APRN in South Carolina must hold a national certification in his/her area of expertise.
