The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) administers several complementary programs to improve nursing care for older adults, including the Geriatric Nursing Education Consortium (GNEC). GNEC, a national initiative with generous funding from the John A. Hartford Foundation and operated in collaboration with the Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing at New York University, is designed to enhance geriatric content in senior-level undergraduate nursing courses. As a result of the GNEC initiative, faculty at a majority of baccalaureate programs at schools of nursing across the country have been educated in the fundamentals of teaching geriatric nursing and the use of geriatric curriculum resources. Using a train-the-trainer approach, GNEC's primary goal has been to support and empower baccalaureate nursing faculty as they champion geriatric education, train other faculty, and oversee revision of the senior-level undergraduate curriculum at their home institutions.
美国护理学院协会（AACN）管理着几个辅助项目，以改善对老年人的护理，其中包括老年护理教育联盟（GNEC）。GNEC是一项由约翰·A·哈特福德基金会提供大量资金的全国性倡议，并与纽约大学哈特福德老年护理研究所合作开展，旨在加强本科高年级护理课程中的老年护理内容。由于GNEC倡议，全国大多数护理学院学士学位项目的教师都接受了老年护理教学基础和老年护理课程资源使用方面的培训。采用培训培训师的方法，GNEC的主要目标是支持和赋能本科护理教师，因为他们倡导老年护理教育、培训其他教师，并监督本校本科高年级课程的修订。
