AACN Mission
Patients and their families rely on nurses at the most vulnerable times of their lives. Acute and critical care nurses rely on AACN for expert knowledge and the influence to fulfill their promise to patients and their families. AACN drives excellence because nothing less is acceptable.
As AACN works to promote its mission and vision, it is guided by values that are rooted in, and arise from, the Association’s rich history, traditions and culture.
