The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) is the national voice for baccalaureate and graduate nursing education. AACN's educational, research, federal advocacy, data collection, publications, and special programs work to establish quality standards for nursing education; assist deans and directors to implement those standards; influence the nursing profession to improve health care; and promote public support for professional nursing education, research, and practice. Established in 1969, the AACN now represents nursing schools at more than 765 universities and four-year colleges in the United States. The program of the AACN is focused on the following goals: *To establish quality standards for bachelor's degree and graduate-degree nursing education *To assist deans and directors of nursing schools to implement those quality standards *To influence the nursing profession to improve health care *To promote public support of baccalaureate and graduate education, research, and practice in nursing. == Membership == From 121 member institutions in 1969, AACN today represents more than 770 member schools of nursing at public and private universities and senior colleges nationwide. These schools offer a mix of baccalaureate, graduate, and post-graduate programs. The dean or chief nurse administrator serves as the representative to AACN, though the association serves all members of the academic unit. AACN maintains seven Leadership Networks for nursing school faculty and staff involved in instructional development, research, organizational leadership, faculty practice, business operations, graduate student recruitment, and communications/development. Each network hosts an annual meeting for participating members. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「American Association of Colleges of Nursing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
