With a paucity of literature on professional organization membership by nurse practitioners (NPs), the authors base the discussion of the personal benefits associated with membership on literature focusing on clinicians other than NPs and their personal experiences as members of multiple organizations. Membership is described as related to NP socialization, engagement, networking, mentorship, advocacy, policy, leadership development, research dissemination, professional development, and volunteerism. In addition to encouraging active participation in one or more professional organizations, the need for research into factors influencing the degree to which NPs participate in organizations and the associated benefits is identified.
由于关于执业护士（NP）加入专业组织的文献匮乏，作者基于针对非NP临床医生的文献以及他们作为多个组织成员的个人经历，来讨论与加入组织相关的个人益处。加入组织被描述为与NP的社会化、参与度、人际关系网、指导、宣传、政策、领导力发展、研究传播、专业发展和志愿服务有关。除了鼓励积极加入一个或多个专业组织外，还指出有必要研究影响NP参与组织程度的因素以及相关益处。
