Rebekah Marsh, BSN, RN, CCRN (she/her/hers)

American Association of Critical-Care Nurses, Washington

Rebekah Marsh, BSN, RN, CCRN, serves as president of the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, after completing a term as president-elect from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025. She was a director on the AACN board from July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2023, including a term as secretary from July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023.

Marsh earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing at the University of Washington (UW) School of Nursing and has spent her entire nursing career at Harborview Medical Center, UW Medicine, Seattle. She began as a staff nurse in the Neuroscience ICU and currently serves as a clinical nurse educator for telemetry and ECG. In 2024, she was nominated as Harborview Nurse Leader of the Year for leading implementation the AACN Healthy Work Environment Standards.

As a second-career nurse, educator and artist, Marsh embodies the blending of art and science in nursing and nursing education. Before nursing, she studied art, which informs and inspires her practice. Marsh’s ECG courses include references to classic paintings and kinetic movements to help learners better understand and interpret ECGs. In 2022 and 2023, she designed the Nurses’ Week artwork for Harborview Medical Center.

Marsh finds purpose and joy in the empowerment of direct care nurses to lead practice improvement from the bedside. As an alumna of the AACN Clinical Scene Investigator (CSI) Academy, she was given the opportunity, tools and resources to implement a change initiative on her unit. She continues to pay that forward by mentoring clinical staff nurses who pursue evidence-based practice and nurse-led quality improvement projects. Marsh has cofacilitated the daylong NTI preconference on AACN CSI Academy concepts, and she is proud to be the first CSI nurse to serve as AACN president.
