Regular Member

Established in 1969 to help educate nurses working in newly developed intensive care units, the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) is the world’s largest specialty nursing organization. AACN represents the interests of more than 500,000 nurses who care for acutely and critically ill patients. We are dedicated to providing members with the knowledge and resources necessary to provide optimal care to patients and families. In addition to an e-newsletter, AACN publishes three peer-reviewed journals (American Journal of Critical Care, Critical Care Nurse, and AACN Advanced Critical Care), a magazine, and books that set the standard for critical care practice.
