American Association for Long Term Care Nursing

AALTCN is a fairly new association that promotes the importance of the entire nursing department of long term care facilities. The organizational will attempt to remove" fragmenting silos to promote working relationships that support a caring culture" by addressing issues that affect the entire team. This quote appears in the November 2007, Provider magazine, the journal for long-term care professionals.

For additional information about AALTCN, see its website at http://www.LTCNursing.org.

This is a refreshing approach for a nursing-focused association and organization.
