The California Association of Colleges of Nursing (CACN) represents colleges and universities offering baccalaureate and higher degree programs for California's nursing students. CACN began as a place for nursing deans and directors to network and discuss higher education issues and trends in the Nursing profession. While this continues to be relevant, members are increasingly interested in extending their influence as nursing leaders through public advocacy and collaborating with state legislators to advance the Nursing profession and the future of healthcare.
