Frequently Asked Questions
Why did IDNPSA and AAIDN merge?
The most critical aspect of IDNP practice is integrating the holistic nursing approach into infectious disease care. We are nurses and are proud of the discipline!

Is IDNPSA changing to AAIDN?
Yes and No. IDNPSA will be the advanced practice division of AAIDN. They are now one unified nursing organization.
Will this merger change my membership?

​
Does AAIDN have a website yet?
No. We are currently developing the IDNPSA website and plan to have another site featuring AAIDN in the future.
