The organizations mentioned in this question are the BRN, the Board of Registered Nursing of California, and the American Academy of Ambulatory Care Nursing.
The Board of Registered Nursing is a California state government agency that was created by law. The board consists of four members of the public and five registered nurses. The board also sets educational and practice standards for nurses in California. Furthermore, the BRN issues and renews licenses for nurses and addresses disciplinary action for nurses in California.
The American Academy of Ambulatory Care Nursing (AAACN), on the other hand, is a national organization that provides networking, advocacy, and leadership development to all nurses in an ambulatory setting. Unlike the BRN, the AAACN has close to 3000 members that are restricted to those nurses practicing in an ambulatory care setting. The organization also offers a special certification in Ambulatory Care Nursing and accredits the RN-BC.
