About
Institutional Membership
Unlike
any other nursing organization, AACN was established to
give baccalaureate and higher-degree nursing education the
exclusive attention and nurturing they require. Since its
founding in 1969, AACN has fostered quality preparation
of clinicians, research scientists, educators, administrators,
consultants, and policymakers for leadership and health
promotion through nursing -- the nation's largest health
care profession.
AACN
is the association that baccalaureate and graduate nursing
programs regard as their own -- the only national
organization whose sole focus is to meet the needs
of universities and senior colleges in preparing the nation's
nursing professionals.
