The New Jersey Collaborating Center for Nursing (NJCCN) was established by state legislation on December 12, 2002. The Center works on behalf of nurses to provide evidence-based recommendations regarding the nursing workforce and its impact on patient care. NJCCN is located at Rutgers School of Nursing’s Newark campus, and is guided by a 17-member board representing New Jersey nursing and health care stakeholders.
