Overview

Mission

Our mission is to advance innovation, advocacy, and excellence in nursing education and practice. Our goal is to foster implementation of evidence-based, transformational nursing education programs throughout California.

What it reported doing in 2024

Fall 2024 CACN/COADN Joint Conference: Hosted a joint conference with the North and South regions of the California Organization of Associate Degree Nursing (CADON). The conference provides professional education and development for nursing education leaders, administrators, and faculty. Programming addresses current issues affecting all of nursing education, including regulatory and legislative developments, accreditation, workforce needs, leadership, educational practices, and emerging challenges in nursing education. The conference, hosted every three years by CACN, also provides opportunities for professional networking, collaboration, and the exchange of information and best practices among nursing education professionals throughout California.

Revenue model
Earned-program. 98% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
