Western Academy of Nurses (WAN)
BACKGROUND
In 1989, WIN established the Western Academy of Nurses (WAN) to recognize and honor nurses who have been actively engaged in WIN over a period of five to ten years and who have demonstrated excellence in research/scholarship, practice, and/or education.
MISSION
The purpose of the Western Academy of Nurses is to provide active leadership in determining the direction for nursing by advocacy for WIN, the profession of nursing, and the diversity of the populations served. The Academy provides support and mentoring to students and nursing colleagues in all areas defining the profession: research, practice, and education, while continuing to be active participants in their own professional endeavors. The Academy stimulates debate and discussion among WIN participants regarding issues affecting the profession of nursing through such forums as the annual Academy session in the WIN Assembly. (Adopted April 14, 2000; revised April 15, 2011)
MEMBERSHIP
Membership in WAN is by nomination, and members of WAN must be individual members of WIN. WAN holds an annual business meeting in conjunction with WIN’s annual Communicating Nursing Research Conference. Annual WAN membership dues are $50 ($25 for retired members).
