AAPACN Membership
The AAPACN membership is the heart of the American Association of Post-Acute Care Nursing (AAPACN) – and the foundation of the post-acute care field. Together, we are 18,000 RNs, LPNs/LVNs, administrators, therapists, and other interdisciplinary team members who confidently lead the delivery of quality care in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs).
Whether you’re new to post-acute care (PAC) or a veteran of the field, you’ll benefit from an AAPACN membership that provides exceptional education, a vibrant member community, practical and compelling content, and essential tools that empower and inspire through SNF training and education.
