Please join OADN in congratulating the 2023 Inductees to the Academy of Associate Degree Nursing!

Academy members are those actively engaged in associate degree nursing education or practice, with proven records of excellence in their institutions and a demonstrated commitment to the health of their communities.

The honorary academy fellowship recognizes those individuals who have worked to transform health and education throughout the breadth of their careers. Honorary fellows have worked in education and practice, as well as other fields such as advocacy and service.

OADN celebrates all fellows of the AADN and their remarkable contributions to students, faculty, patients, communities, and the nurse leaders of tomorrow. Fellows will be inducted on November 16, 2023, during the OADN Convention at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, CA.
