AACN Leadership Network Spotlight
|
If enhancing your capacity to lead is one of your goals this year, we invite you to explore AACN's Leadership Networks. With eight different networks to choose from, academic nursing professionals of all areas are represented. This month, we're spotlighting AACN's new Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Network (DEILN) and the Organizational Leadership Network (OLN).
|
|
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Leadership Network (DEILN)
The DEILN was created to strengthen the ability of nursing school faculty and staff to lead across differences. Launched in July 2021, network members explore innovative approaches to enhancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in academic nursing and the nursing workforce. Learn more about the DEILN here. |
|

Organizational Leadership Network (OLN)
The OLN is comprised of nursing academic leaders with broad administrative responsibilities. The OLN fosters professional growth and development, information sharing, communication, and discussion of key issues. The next OLN Conference will be held October 29-30, 2021 in Washington, DC as a pre-event to the Academic Nursing Leadership Conference! Learn more about the OLN here. |

Latest Updates on AACN's New Essentials
|
|
AACN is committed to providing resources, education, and guidance to assist member schools in implementing the new AACN Essentials and to help all stakeholders understand this historic shift in nursing education.
Latest News, Updates, and Developments
New References to Help Inform the Essentials
As schools move to implement the new Essentials, AACN compiled some recent articles on competency-based education and assessment to help inform this important work and guide decision-making.
Upcoming AACN Programming on Implementing the New Essentials
With schools across the nation beginning the work needed to implement the new Essentials, AACN is planning a full lineup of program sessions and webinars this fall. Events currently scheduled for faculty include the Faculty Development Conference and the Transform 2021 conference.
Q&A with Practice Leaders on the Essentials Task Force
In the May-June 2021 issue of AACN's Syllabus, we asked members of the Essentials Task Force representing the practice community about the recently released Essentials. Read their responses to questions about this new approach to nursing education and the future of health care.
Introducing: The Essentials Marketplace
AACN's transition to the new Essentials extends to working with corporate partners looking to develop products, services, and education to assist in the implementation. AACN encourages organizations with an interest in collaboration and promotional opportunities to complete this interest survey.
