Join Your Colleagues at Fall Regional
Meetings
AACN fall
regional meetings, which are scheduled
throughout the country, offer members and
prospective members a chance to network with
colleagues and learn more about AACN and its
chapters. Although fall regional meetings
are hosted by chapters, they are open to
members who are not chapter members and to
critical care nurses who are interested in
AACN. In some regions, chapters sponsor
educational programs in conjunction with the
meetings. Following is a list of the
meetings scheduled to date:
