ANA Enterprise, which grew from the American Nurses Association founded in 1896, is a major organization for nurses in the US, offering professional development and resources. Maybe you've seen all those TikToks about nurses leaving the bedside for less stressful roles and decided to switch gears, or maybe you're just tired of the membership fees. Subscriptions can range from $185 to over $400 annually, so canceling can save you a good chunk of change. This guide covers how to cancel your membership through their website.
How to Cancel ANA Enterprise Subscription on Website (Desktop/Mobile)
Canceling your ANA membership is done through their website. It's not a one-click process, and honestly, the option is a bit buried. You're essentially turning off auto-renewal, not ending your membership immediately. I had to poke around a bit to find the right page.
1 Log Into Your ANA Account
First, head over to the NursingWorld.org website and sign in. You'll need your username and password. If you forgot it, the password reset process is pretty standard.
2 Find Your Profile or My Account
Once you're in, look for your name or an icon that leads to your account dashboard. This is sometimes in the top-right corner. It might be labeled 'My Account' or 'Member Profile'.
3 Navigate to Membership Details
This is the tricky part. You're looking for a section specifically about your membership status or subscription. It might be under a tab called 'Membership Info' or 'My ANA'. Don't be surprised if you have to click through a couple of menus to find it.
4 Turn Off Auto-Renewal
ANA, like many organizations, prefers you to stay. You probably won't see a giant 'Cancel' button. Instead, look for a link or toggle switch that says 'Manage Auto-Renewal' or 'Turn Off Automatic Renewal'. Click that.
5 Confirm Your Cancellation
A pop-up will likely ask if you're sure you want to cancel. You might have to give a reason. Push through and confirm it. Make sure you get to a screen that says your auto-renewal has been turned off.
6 Check for a Confirmation Email
You should get an email confirming the change. If you don't get one within an hour, something might have gone wrong. I'd log back in and double-check that your account shows it won't renew.
Cancel ANA Enterprise Subscription with phone
You can try calling ANA Member Services at 1-800-284-2378. They are typically available during standard business hours, Eastern Time. Be prepared for a wait. One user on a forum mentioned, 'I was on hold for 20 minutes just to ask a simple question.' Have your member ID ready.
Cancel ANA Enterprise Subscription with email
Send an email to memberservices@ana.org. Be very clear in your subject line, something like 'Request to Cancel Auto-Renewal - Member #[Your Member ID]'. Don't expect an instant reply; it could take a few business days to get a response.
Before you hit cancel, know this: ANA generally doesn't offer prorated refunds on memberships. If you paid for a year, you've paid for the year. Canceling just stops it from renewing. You'll also lose access to member-only benefits, like journal access or discounts, at the end of your current paid term. So, download any articles or certificates you need before your access is gone.
