The American Association of Neuroscience Nurses (AANN), the American Board of

Neuroscience Nursing (ABNN), and the Agnes Marshall Walker Foundation (AMWF)

present the 2014 AANN Annual Report. This report highlights our accomplishments

after the 2014 Annual Meeting through the 2015 Annual Meeting and looks at our

goals for the duration of 2015. This past year we continued to drive toward our goal

of being the leading authority in neuroscience nursing. With our strategic plan in

mind, we made great strides in the areas of education, customer engagement, neu-

roscience expertise, and finance.

The 2015 AANN Annual Meeting theme, Enlighten, Engage, Empower, has been

a driving force for our work in the year leading up to the meeting. We challenged our

members to enlighten themselves with our educational products, such as the new

AANN Comprehensive Review for Stroke Nursing book, and by participating in our

Annual Meeting. We invited them to engage with our organization through commit-

tees and chapters. Additionally, AANN received unprecedented requests to engage

with other nursing and medical organizations, demonstrating that we are the leading

authority in neuroscience nursing. We encouraged members to empower themselves

with knowledge and to carry the message back to their practice settings.

AANN strives to enlighten our members through education, provide networking

opportunities to engage with fellow neuroscience nurses, and empower our mem-

bers to share their neuroscience expertise. Our success goes hand in hand with the

continued advancement of neuroscience nursing as a whole, and our members are

the driving force. We thank you for your continued support and invite you to join us

on our journey for another year of success!

AANN MISSIONThe American Association of Neuroscience

Nurses (AANN) is committed to the advance-

ment of neuroscience nursing as a specialty

through the development and support of

nurses to promote excellence in patient care.

Education is a major part of AANN’s

mission and vision. One of our strategic

goals is for nurses to use our educational

products as their first choice to meet

their neuroscience learning needs. The

Journal of Neuroscience Nursing (JNN)

is one of AANN’s most respected ed-

ucational tools. In 2014, JNN’s impact

factor rose an impressive 20% to 0.907.

The JNN team launched a video abstract

option, ramped up Facebook and Twitter

activity, decreased review turnaround

time, and added international reviewers.

JNN includes content relevant to all lev-

els of nursing practice and offers AANN

members free continuing education (CE)

credits.

In October 2014, the JNN Editorial

Board held a strategic planning session.

They discussed the role of the editorial

board and strategies for improving the

Journal, and they established goals

for the next few years. Part of the plan

includes focusing on content that can

be integrated into clinical practice,

balancing research and clinical practice

content, and increasing awareness

of JNN.

AANN has set the gold standard

for clinical practice guidelines (CPGs).

Partnerships were vital to the develop-

ment of the CPGs, and AANN thanks

our supporters. Two new CPGs were

completed in 2014: The Care of the

Adult Patient with a Brain Tumor and

The Care of the Pediatric Patient with a

Brain Tumor. AANN partnered with the

American Brain Tumor Association to

develop these CPGs and the correspond-

ing free webinars, and we are proud

that both guidelines were accepted into

the National Guideline Clearing House.

We are grateful to CPG Editor Patricia

Blissitt, PhD RN ACNS-BC CCM CCNS

CCRN CNRN, who was instrumental in

the publication of several CPGs during

her service from 2012–2014. AANN wel-

comed CPG Editor Therese West, DNP

APN-BC, in August 2014 and we look

forward to seeing what the CPG Editorial

Board achieves in 2015.

AANN is accredited as an approver

of continuing nursing education by the

American Nurses Credentialing Center

(ANCC). In 2014, we went through the

approver reaccreditation site visit and

were awarded Accreditation with Dis-

tinction, the highest recognition award-

ed. Approver status from ANCC allows

AANN to approve educational programs

for CE credit, which provides revenue for

the association. AANN processes many

applications for approval, which net sev-

eral thousand dollars annually, and we

expect a record number of CE applica-

tions in 2015.

AANN continues to promote neuro-

science education. To help nurses

prepare for the ABNN Stroke Certified

Registered Nurse (SCRN) exam, AANN

published the AANN Comprehensive

Review for Stroke Nursing book and

e-book. AANN offers a variety of stroke

certification study tools for purchase in

our online store.

The 47th Annual Educational Meet-

ing, held in Nashville, TN, March 29–

April 1, 2015, was a great opportunity for

AANN members to Enlighten, Engage,

and Empower. Attendance was impres-

sive, especially in a time of budget cuts,

and the meeting was filled with notable

presenters and exhibitors. One attendee

said, “With this huge shift in health care

and all the problems that have come

to fruition because of it, this meeting

helped me realize the ‘whys’ of my initial

decision to become a nurse. It’s all about

the patient, and I must keep my passion,

no matter what industry stressors there

are, and always remain positive and

kind.” Attendees participated in hands-

on learning opportunities that met the

needs of all members’ backgrounds and

experience levels. AANN continues to

evolve and advance the profession

thanks to the unmatched passion of

our members.

The voice of the AANN customer remains

at the forefront of our customer engage-

ment goal. A major benefit of AANN

membership is having the opportunity to

engage with local chapters throughout

the year. Integrating the local chapters

with the national organization has been

a customer engagement goal during the

past few years. The integration plan is

complete, which means members of local

chapters must also be AANN national

members. We’ve implemented online

membership renewal and membership

purchases to include the option to join a

chapter based on the member’s zip code.

We’re very excited about furthering the

chapters’ impact in 2015!

AANN’s growing special focus group

(SFG) Listservs and Facebook page con-

tinue to be robust resources and network-

ing tools for members. The SFG Listservs

are well used and regarded as some of

the most valued membership benefits.

The eight topic-specific e-mail Listservs

provide opportunities to connect with

more than 1,500 of our members who are

on hand to answer challenging questions

and offer advice. AANN’s Facebook

page experienced major growth in 2014

and now has more than 3,500 “likes.”

Visit us at www.facebook.com/neuronurses

for the latest news in neuroscience nursing

and association updates.

AANN is proud to provide a wealth

of membership benefits valued at more

than $2,000 for less than $0.35 per

day—a value more than 15 times the

cost of membership dues! In early 2014,

AANN added a new membership bene-

fit: e-membership in the American Nurs-

ing Association (ANA). AANN members

have access to all members-only aspects

of the ANA website, nursingworld.org.

ANA e-membership includes digital

access to ANA resources, including

American Nurse Today and The Online

Journal of Issues in Nursing. In addition,

members have access to e-newsletters,

free and discounted professional de-

velopment resources and CE, member

discounts at nursesbooks.org, and ANA’s

advocacy efforts. AANN looks forward to

continued collaboration with ANA.

During a November 2013 strategic

planning session, the AANN Board of

Directors and key leaders set a goal

of increasing membership. Although

we’ve made progress, we haven’t quite

reached our target of 6,000 members.

We’ll continue to strive toward our goal

and are looking to our members for help.

Encourage colleagues to join this great

organization, and tell them about our

many membership benefits, including the

e-membership in ANA.

AANN continues to develop existing and

new partnerships. AANN is affiliated with

several allied organizations through which

our nurses have the opportunity to share

their neuroscience expertise.

Membership in AANN includes

membership to the World Federation

of Neuroscience Nurses (WFNN). This

connection offers members the ability to

gain nursing knowledge and experience

from 32 countries. Cindy Bautista, CNRN

SCRN, is our representative to the WFNN.

She acts as the liaison between WFNN

and AANN and hosts international guests

attending our annual meetings.

We continue to collaborate with the

American Heart Association (AHA)/

American Stroke Association (ASA).

AANN and ABNN exhibited at the

International Stroke Conference, and

several hundred nurses stopped by our

booths to learn more about membership

and certification. We continue to nom-

inate qualified members for key ASA

committees and expand our reach to

influence stroke research and treatment.

We also maintain a partnership with the

Nursing Community, a forum for nation-

al professional nursing associations to

build consensus on and advocate for a

wide spectrum of healthcare and nursing

issues, including practice, education, and

research.

The AANN Advocacy Committee has

positioned AANN as a thought leader

in the neuroscience community. The

committee reviewed several requests

for endorsement this past year, and we

anticipate many more exciting oppor-

tunities will come our way for review

by this group. The committee uses a

checklist they developed for reviewing

requests for endorsement and, in spring

2014, launched an educational toolkit

about the legislative process and how to

become involved in healthy policy and

advocacy. Visit the advocacy page of the

AANN website (AANN.org/advocacy) for

more information and updates on the

committee’s work. In 2015, the commit-

tee will continue to develop alliances

with organizations to promote advocacy

for the betterment of the neuroscience

community.

Last year, AANN made great progress toward our financial goals. At the

end of 2014, we were in good financial standing with 5.6 months of ex-

penses in reserve. Operating revenue for the year totaled $1,743,413, with

the membership and annual meeting revenues nearly tied as the greatest

revenue generators for the association. Operating expenses for the year

totaled $1,654,041. A continued focus on increasing operating revenue

and adding non-dues revenue sources will contribute to AANN’s financial

success.

The figures on this page represent AANN’s financial activity for 2014,

ending in December.

FINANCE GOA L:Establish a long-term financial strategy that will guarantee the achievement of AANN’s vision.

For many years AANN has collaborated

with ABNN to provide members with edu-

cational and networking opportunities for

professional growth.

In August 2014, the ABNN Board of

Trustees and other neuroscience nurs-

ing leaders met for a strategic planning

session. ABNN is proud to share our new

mission and vision statements, which

were developed at this meeting. The

ABNN mission statement is “to advance

neuroscience nurses’ practice and con-

tributions to neurological health through

certification of registered nurses.” Our

vision is for every person with neurologi-

cal health needs to receive excellent care

from ABNN-certified registered nurses.

It’s been less than 2 years since we

launched the Stroke Certified Regis-

tered Nurse (SCRN) credential, and we

are proud to celebrate its success. We

accomplished a major milestone in July

2014 when the exam was accredited by

the Accreditation Board for Specialty

Nursing Certification (ABSNC), a na-

tionally recognized accrediting body.

Accreditation means that ABSNC has

determined that the SCRN credential

is based on a valid and reliable testing

process and that the structures in place

to administer the examination exceed

the standards of the certification industry

from a legal, regulatory, and association

management perspective.

The SCRN certification program has

greatly exceeded our goals, and we look

forward to another strong year. The pass-

ing rate was 75% in 2014, and we have

more than 1,100 nurses SCRN certified.

The Certified Neuroscience Regis-

tered Nurse (CNRN) certification program

remains strong with 444 new CNRNs in

2014. The CNRN certification continues to

grow, and the passing rate increased to

81% in 2014. We look forward to another

strong year for the certification and add-

ing to the 4,800 CNRNs.

ABNN joins dozens of organizations

honoring the importance of credentialing

and certification on Certified Nurses Day

each year on March 19. We were pleased

to celebrate with our certificants because

we believe credentials matter. ABNN

commemorated Certified Nurses Day

by sending notes to our more than 5,900

certificants.

ABNN trustee and liaison to AANN

Missy Moreda, RN CNRN SCRN, rep-

resented ABNN at the AHA/ASA Inter-

national Stroke Conference in February

2014. ABNN also had representation

at the ANCC National Magnet Confer-

ence. The purpose of exhibiting at these

conferences was to promote the CNRN

and SCRN credentials and increase the

visibility of ABNN. We were pleased with

the high level of interest from the nurses

in attendance.

CNRNs, SCRNs, and AANN members

are the force behind this incredible year

and are responsible for moving us closer

to our goals. With your support and

participation, we will continue to move

forward as the leading authority in neuro-

science nursing.

Agnes Marshall Walker was a loved and

respected leader in the neuroscience

nursing profession. Some of her many

accomplishments included serving as

AANN president, being a founding

member and president of ABNN, being

a founder of WFNN, and serving on the

task force that developed the CNRN

exam. Agnes passed away in September

2010, but her legacy lives on. Thanks to

a generous bequest left to AANN by Ag-

nes, we carry on her dedication to neuro-

science education through the Agnes

Marshall Walker Foundation (AMWF).

The foundation works collaboratively

with AANN and ABNN to support neuro-

science education and certification in

Agnes’s honor. AMWF awards grants and

scholarships for research, leadership,

and educational pursuits. Grant recipi-

ents use the funds for neuroscience edu-

cational materials, research, professional

development, or certification to promote

excellence in patient care.

On June 30, Agnes’s birthday, AMWF

held a Day of Giving. Thanks to member

support, we raised more than $1,300! We

challenged AANN chapters to see who

could raise the most money on the Day

of Giving. Congratulations to the MoKan

Blues Chapter!

AMWF held a fundraising event at

the AANN Annual Educational Meeting

at the Tequila Cowboy in Nashville. At-

tendees enjoyed live music, refreshments,

a photo booth, mechanical bull rides,

and more! AMWF thanks the Integra

Foundation for their generous support

of this event. Attendees at the Annual

Educational Meeting had a chance to

nominate a colleague for the Neurosci-

ence Diva Award in support of AMWF.

A donation of $100 allowed people to

present their “neuroscience diva” with a

pink boa to wear at the meeting. More

than $4,800 was raised at the 2015 Annu-

al Meeting. A total of $4,991 was raised

during the calendar year of 2014.
