ALSN – Association for Leadership Science in Nursing
ALSN (formerly known as CGEAN) was established in 1970 as the Council on Graduate Education for Administration in Nursing as a formal organization dedicated to collegial relationships and intellectual exchange among nurse educators whose focus was nursing administration at the graduate level.
