ABOUT US
A Walk Through History
The National Association of Hispanic Nurses™ (NAHN) was founded in 1975 by Ildaura Murillo-Rohde, PhD, RN, ND, FAAN since it was felt that ANA was not being responsive to the needs of Hispanic nurses. In 1976, the organization became the National Association of Spanish-Speaking/Spanish-Surnamed Nurses, which was renamed the National Association of Hispanic Nurses in 1979.
Reinstated in 2019, the Sacramento NAHN Chapter was re-established by alumni and students of the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing. Though we are a smaller chapter we've had a strong impact in our community. NAHN participates in local efforts to increase the number of Hispanic folks in nursing through events such as Breaking Down Barriers and SHINES in collaboration with CCBNA.
