Council for the Advancement of Nursing Science (CANS)

The Council for the Advancement of Nursing Science (CANS) was established in 2000 as the open membership initiative of the American Academy of Nursing.  The mission is simple: Better Health Through Nursing Science.  The Council strives to be a strong voice of nurse scientists at the national and international levels in support of the development, conduct and utilization of nursing science; to share, translate, and disseminate nursing science; and to facilitate life-long learning opportunities for nurse scientists. 

​NSNA student members will receive all benefits of CANS Membership, including an electronic subscription to Nursing Outlook, reduced conference rates, access to seed grants, and much more, at a reduced membership rate of $36/year.
