The Nurse Refresher Programs are sponsored by the Idaho Alliance of Leaders in Nursing (IALN).
The IALN was created in 2004 when two long-standing nursing organizations merged: the Idaho Commission on Nursing and Nursing Education and the Idaho Organization of Nurse Executives. The vision of this new organization is to be “the driving force for excellence in nursing”. The organization’s mission is focused on assuring a quality nursing workforce “... by bringing together nursing leaders from education, practice, research and industry to address workforce and workplace issues”.
