AACN (American Association of Critical-Care Nurses)

AMSN collaborates with AACN to support nurses across the continuum of care, promoting shared clinical knowledge and aligning education between medical-surgical and critical care practice, including co-creating educational sessions at each organization’s annual conventions.

NACNS (National Association of Clinical Nurse Specialists

Together with NACNS, AMSN supports the integration of clinical nurse specialists in improving patient outcomes and advancing evidence-based practice. This collaboration has included co-developing educational programming, such as a webinar that provided nurses with guidance on protecting their licenses from board investigations, malpractice risk, and related professional challenges.

INS (Infusion Nurses Society)

AMSN partners with INS to promote best practices in infusion therapy and support safe, evidence-based care. This collaboration has included AMSN leadership participating in an INS podcast on IV management and interdisciplinary care, as well as INS presenting a pre-convention workshop at the AMSN Annual Convention.

 

ASPMN (American Society for Pain Management Nursing)

In collaboration with ASPMN, AMSN advances pain management education and promotes patient-centered care. As part of this partnership, ASPMN’s president joined Med-Surg Moments to discuss pain management blind spots, the impact of bias on care, and practical strategies to strengthen assessment, advocacy, and patient safety.

Nurses on Boards Coalition (NOBC)

The Nurses on Boards Coalition (NOBC) first convened in 2014, and later that year publicly announced its partnership and key strategy to help ensure that at least 10,000 board seats are filled by nurses in 2020. NOBC was created in response to the landmark 2010 Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, which recommended increasing the number of nurse leaders in pivotal decision-making roles on boards and commissions that work to improve the health of everyone in America. The Campaign for Action, an initiative of AARP Foundation, AARP, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation initially brought the groups together as part of their collaborative effort to implement the recommendations of the IOM report through the Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action.

Nursing Community Coalition (NCC)

Nursing Community Coalition (NCC) includes 64 members, of which AMSN is one, that are the cross section of education, practice, research, and regulation within the nursing profession. The NCC believe that the healthcare delivery system should be one that promotes wellness, advances research through scientific discovery, and provides timely access to care across the continuum. With over four million licensed Registered Nurses (RNs), Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs), and nursing students, the profession embodies the drive and passion to continually improve care for patients, families, and communities. AMSN supports the NCC in national advocacy initiatives intended to support and promote nursing care and delivery in the United States.

Nursing Organizations Alliance (NOA)

The Nursing Organizations Alliance (NOA) was formed when two long-standing coalitions of nursing organizations united to create an enduring collaborative that would promote a strong voice and cohesive action to address issues of concern to the community of nursing. NOA typically holds two conferences each year, the Fall Summit and the Nursing Alliance Leadership Academy (NALA). These conferences focus on developing, strengthening, and broadening nurses’ leadership skills as well as providing a forum for NOA members to communicate and collaborate with each other.

Professional Certification Coalition (PCC)

The Professional Certification Coalition (PCC) was formed to promote and represent non-governmental professional certification organizations and programs and their service providers. The PCC’s activities on behalf of members include development of research and white papers on the value of private professional certification programs and the effects of legislation affecting professional certification and occupational licensing; liaison with stakeholders supporting or opposing such legislation to educate them about the Coalition’s positions and to advocate for elimination of harmful language in proposed or model legislation; and ongoing monitoring and analysis of state and federal legislative activity in this area. MSNCB, as a coalition member, has access to written resources, updates and strategy sessions. MSNCB, as a coalition member also engages in advocacy campaigns accesses resources and tools to advocate to legislators regarding pending legislation that affects professional certification.
