NursingCAS is operated by
the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) in partnership with
Liaison International, the nation’s leading provider of centralized application
services to health professions associations. Liaison currently works with many
other disciplines, including dentistry, pharmacy, physician assistants, and
public health. To learn more about Liaison International, visit http://www.liaison-intl.com.
AACN is the national voice for university and
four-year-college education programs in nursing. Representing more than 650
member schools of nursing at public and private institutions nationwide, AACN's
educational, research, governmental advocacy, data collection, publications,
and other programs work to establish quality standards for bachelor's- and
graduate-degree nursing education, assist deans and directors to implement
those standards, influence the nursing profession to improve health care, and
promote public support of baccalaureate and graduate nursing education,
research, and practice.
AACN has formed an advisory group to complete the
work necessary to establishing the centralized application service. Led by Dr.
Timothy Gaspar, dean of the University
Of Toledo College Of Nursing,
the group includes representatives from the West Texas Nursing Education
Consortium (WTNEC). Click here
to see a complete list of advisory group members. WTNEC successfully launched
an application service in January 2009 for nursing students interested in
applying to schools in West Texas. Eleven
schools of nursing participated in this service, which processed almost 2,000
applications. WTNEC no longer operates and participating schools have since
joined NursingCAS. For more details visit, http://nursing.ttuhsc.edu/wtnepp.
