About Us
The American Association of Registered Nurses, Inc. dates back to 1979, when National Association of Registered Nurses (NARN) was established, in Washington, DC by Francis R. deBondt, Ph.D. and administrator of the association.
When Francis passed away in 2007, his son Jeffrey deBondt took over responsibility for the organization and chose a new name for the association--American Association of Registered Nurses (AARN). Jeffrey continues to operate the association today. Jeffrey's background includes a B.S. in Economics from Virginia Commonwealth University. He has worked with registered nurses over 20 years.
