| Since
1978, AACN's Institutional Data Systems and Research Center (IDS) has been the
nucleus of the Association's authoritative national databank. This essential resource
assists the nursing community in addressing changes in health care systems and
nursing education. Annually, IDS reports the most current statistics on:
- Student enrollment and graduations
for the current academic year by type of program
- Five-year
trend analyses for baccalaureate, master's, and doctoral programs
- Faculty
salaries according to rank, degree-level, and type of institution by numerous
characteristics, including tenure status
- Selected
faculty characteristics, including age profiles
- Deans'
salaries and characteristics

AACN also
offers customized data reports that
are tailor-made to a school's individual specifications. Custom
reports help deans compare their staffing, budgeting, and
development resources with those of similar institutions.
To
help nursing schools assess thier standing among peers, AACN's benchmarking
data provide deans with systematic, standardized information on the best financial
practices at institutions similar to their own. |
