Who Can Attend?

Given the high demand for registration and limited availability, up to two students per AACN member school can register for the Summit. AACN member deans must approve students prior to registration. Only students who have not previously attended an in-person Student Policy Summit may be registered. Schools who wish to send more than two students can sponsor at different levels to receive additional registrations.

Testimonials

"What an amazing experience! Being able to network with the other participants and the speakers is something that will benefit me for years to come!"

"Information gleaned at the Summit was stellar. This experience opened my eyes not only to the importance of healthcare policy, but also the ability I have as a nurse to impact it."

"I loved the chance to meet so many nurses excited about policy as well as all of the subject matter experts. It was so inspirational! Thank you for all of your hard work and efforts, to everyone that organized this. I truly enjoyed it and have already told my cohort of students about it and to apply next year!"
