AACN publications are award-winning and content rich. Whether you are looking for best practices, evidence-based direction or news of the association, you will find information to meet your needs here.
The CINAHL Plus database provides AACN members access to full-text articles from 80 nursing journals, as well as abstracts and references from many other publications. It is another example of ways AACN is enriching the membership experience.
Increasingly linked to patient safety initiatives, the Beacon Award allows units to measure their systems, outcomes and environment against evidence-based national criteria. Studies show that Beacon Award units rate higher on key indicators related to nurse satisfaction, quality of care, leadership and work environment.
AACN believes we must actively validate our practice through research if we are to fulfill our promise to patients and families. AACN's research agenda uses expert knowledge and influence to build evidence-based practice.
