Annual Meetings (2008-2015)
From 2008 through 2015, NCIN hosted eight annual program liaison summits. Meetings convened scholars, industry leaders, and grantees from 130 unique schools of nursing to explore best practices in accelerated nursing education. Each year, attendees met to discuss timely topics and share innovative and emerging approaches for accelerated nursing degree programs.
