Nursing science is a dynamic and evolving field dedicated to advancing healthcare through research, practice, and policy development. Central to this mission is the American Academy of Nursing (AAN), particularly through its Council for the Advancement of Nursing Science (CANS). CANS serves as a national voice for nursing science, integrating it into health, wellness, and policy decisions. It disseminates research findings through conferences and supports nurse scientists at various career stages.
Recent Events in Nursing Science
In 2024, CANS hosted the State of the Science Congress on Nursing Research from June 13 to 15 in Washington, D.C. This congress convened nurse scientists nationwide to explore pressing research issues, aligning with AAN’s theme of “Envision” during its 50th anniversary. Key topics included artificial intelligence, social determinants of health, and strategies to scale up nurse-led solutions.
Additionally, AAN’s annual Health Policy Conference provided a forum for attendees to learn, discuss, and influence health policies through nursing leadership that advances healthy lives for all people. The conference explored the importance of virtual health, community-based partnerships, and the economic value of nursing to advance the goal of attaining a more equitable future.
Upcoming Events and Initiatives
Looking ahead, AAN has several significant events planned:
- 2025 Fellowship Application Cycle: Opening on January 7, 2025, this cycle invites applications for fellowship, recognizing extraordinary contributions to nursing and health care. AANet
