How to Become a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing

The American Academy of Nursing (Academy) is an honorific society that nursing leaders are inducted into based on a rigorous selection process. Fellows who are selected, participate in an Induction Ceremony held during the Academy’s annual Health Policy Conference in Washington, DC. After an individual who is selected participates in the Induction Ceremony, they are formally accepted into the organization and may use the FAAN credential.

To learn more about the selection process and how to become a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing, in order to earn the FAAN credential please visit: How to Become a Fellow

Please note that all existing Fellows and Academy members (such as Living Legends, Honorary Fellows, etc.) have a member login created for them as part of their acceptance into the organization. Current Fellows do not need to register for an account. Please use the reset password link option instead if you are having trouble accessing your account or contact the Academy staff at 202-777-1170 or aaninfo@aannet.org for assistance.
