Academic Leaders Form New Global Alliance on Nursing Education to Focus on Improving Patient Care Worldwide

WASHINGTON, D.C., January 18, 2006 - Four of the world's leading nursing education organizations have established a new alliance to improve patient care through nursing education and ensure a robust global supply of highly educated nurses. Formed in December 2005, the Global Alliance on Nursing Education (GANE) includes representatives from Australia & New Zealand, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States who are committed to enhancing the educational preparation of registered nurses (RNs), expanding opportunities for nursing education, and addressing student enrollment concerns, including the growing shortage of nurse faculty. GANE members include the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing (CASN), the Council of Deans and Heads of United Kingdom University Faculties and Health Professions (CoD), and the Council of Deans of Nursing and Midwifery (Australia & New Zealand) (CDNM(ANZ)).

"AACN is pleased to join with our colleagues from around the world to focus on nursing education's future and address shared nursing workforce concerns," said AACN President Dr. Jean Bartels. Read more about the Alliance on Nursing Education.
