Our mission is to serve as a professional body representing all registered nurses and nursing students of Indian origin and heritage in the state of New York, regardless of actual or perceived social status.

It is my great privilege and honor to serve as the second president of Indian Nurses Association of New York. I am proud to be a nurse. Nurses are the key personnel of the health care system it takes a special person to be nurses .We have a lot of significant creative talents which can only be further developed through organizations like ours. In the short period we have been in existence, we have made some remarkable contributions to our community such as providing scholarships for student nurses in India and locally and also helped out unprivileged children in India. As the current president, I am proud to say that our efforts are already making a significant impact on many lives both locally and globally. Our community is growing not only in the medical profession but in other professions as well.

Not every job is right for every person. You need to have a right heart and mind for the job. Nursing is a science, an art of caring and is a noble profession. It can only be transformed by people with compassion and love within them. Your compassion, your commitment, your daily contribution, all is at the foundation of our ability to transform lives. “Doctors cure. Nurses care”, is really a true statement. There is much work ahead of us, but I know and we can succeed together!
