AACN’s Elevating Leaders in Academic Nursing (ELAN) Program offers professional enrichment at the intersection of mentorship, strategy, and creativity.

Moving to implement the 2021 Essentials requires a thoughtful, coordinated approach to transitioning to competency-based education and assessment. AACN is hosting a series of regional hands-on workshops for faculty seeking strategies, resources, and solutions to adapting their undergraduate and graduate programs to meet the new competency expectations.

Congratulations to AACN's Faculty and Poster Award Recipients!
