The Premier Online Community for AACN Members

In August 2017, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) launched AACN Connect, the premier online community for AACN members to communicate and engage across the nation!

AACN Member Community

Free for AACN Member deans, faculty, staff, this space allows members to share best practices, curriculum concerns, innovations, request feedback, and have your voice heard in the nursing community. The platform provides a convenient way for membership to ask for expert advice, seek practical solutions to everyday challenges, identify best practices, and share the latest news impacting academic nursing.

AACN Leadership Networks Members

NOTE: This community is only open to members of AACN's Leadership Networks. For information on how to join a leadership network, click here.

Members of the Leadership Networks have a private space to take their listserv communication to a new level. While the ability to communicate from your inbox hasn’t changed, the added ease of reviewing past conversations, sharing documentation, and logging in to see fellow members will be a new benefit to these networks. See below for list of leadership networks.

Connect peer to peer with fellow Graduate Nursing Student Academy (GNSA) members on hot topics, academic concerns, clinical triumphs, and any topic on your mind through the exclusive GNSA Forum on AACN Connect! Graduate studies are complex and your peers are here to support you! This interactive platform will enable students to share knowledge and best practices, ask questions, connect with fellow students across the country, and form strategic alliances.
