The mission of the Academy of Neonatal Nursing is to provide quality neonatal education and programs at a reasonable cost to all health care professionals. This mission is achieved through professional, peer-reviewed publications (Neonatal Network: The Journal of Neonatal Nursing), educational conferences, and offering books and other materials to neonatal health care professionals.[1]
ANN is governed by an Executive Committee. Current members of this committee are:
ANN's primary publication is Neonatal Network: The Journal of Neonatal Nursing, published bimonthly. It has approximately 10,000 subscribers, including over 1,000 American neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). This peer-reviewed journal was established in 1981 and publishes articles on clinical practice, research and nursing education.[2]
ANN is an accredited source for continuing education in nursing in the US. It runs three educational conferences per year: one for advanced-practice neonatal nurses, one for neonatal nurses in general, and one for mother-baby nurses. ANN also supports nursing research and education through the Foundation for Neonatal Research and Education.[1]
