AMERICAN ASSOCAITION OF CRITICAL-CARE NURSES 2
American Association of Critical-Care Nurses
AACN, a 501 (C) nonprofit entity, is currently the world’s largest specialty nursing
association that offers exceptional community of nurses specialized in acute and critical care
services. Here, nurses are committed to offering unwavering personal and professional assistance
and help in achieving the best possible health care (ACCN, n.d.).
Primarily, the aim of ACCN is to strengthen the significance of nursing, shape desirable
practices, and affect the quality of nursing care. Our vision is the creation of a healthcare system
based on the needs of families and patients. Our values are rooted in and emanate from the
organization’s abundant tradition, norms and culture.
Amongst the benefits you stand to access include unlimited free CEs, such as free contact
hours of AACN’s important care webinar series. Additionally, you become eligible for a range of
grants, awards, and scholarship programs. Finally, you can access free subscription to the
association’s award-winning peer-reviewed academic documents.
A study by Bridges, McNeill and Munro (2018) has established that few places are
worthy of working such as at AACN. The association is bent on making its members better
practitioners and spares no time in ensuring that its mission and vision statements are attained in
an inclusive manner. Friderg and Creasia (2015) concur that the foundation of competitive
associations that offer quality services is in their ability to reach out to and change members into
professional practitioners.
