AJN: American Journal of Nursing

Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The American Journal of Nursing is to its profession what the Journal of the American Medical Association is to physicians: the standard by which all related industry publications are measured. Published monthly, AJN is the official journal of the American Nurses Association and as such, harbors a high level of prestige not only among nurses, but medical professionals from all trades. Features are usually reserved for in-depth research studies or new nursing procedures. Readers also can receive continuing education credits through AJN publisher Lippincott Williams & Wilkins by taking and passing inserted mail-in tests related to such features. A news section addresses work-related issues such as adapting to new technologies, improving the workplace, trends, and new panel findings. Department articles delve into subspecialties such as infectious disease, pain control, and living with illness. AJN also keeps a classifieds section in the back of the book to help nurses seeking to relocate. As medical science advances, nursing positions become more specialized. AJN is the best way for registered nurses nationwide to receive the latest information and instruction vital to honing their skills. --Kristopher Kaiyala

This is a really great magazine for all levels of learning/nursing. As a student, I am able to learn a great deal from it. The publisher sent me 6 months worth of back issues as part of the 12 monthly issues that I ordered! I would have rather had my subscription run for the entire year instead of having 6 issues in one month and need to pay to renew this again so soon!

This review is from: AJN: American Journal of Nursing (Magazine)

Since my days as an undergrad in a nursing program I have read the AJN. This journal was promoted as the journal for professional nurses. During the 70's and 80's when nursing was trying to reclaim itself as a profession and just as important as medicine, the journal became the place to go for all recent up-to-date knowledge. The AJN has focused on research to maintain its professionalism and its integrity. Nursing research has led our profession into the mainstream. The AJN has led the way and has remained the most important magazine/journal for all professional nurses.

This review is from: AJN: American Journal of Nursing (Magazine)

If I could only read one professional nursing journal AJN is the one I would read. I have read AJN since nursing school and no matter what specialty I have worked in, I have appreciated its content. I find the articles to be of extremely high quality, I discover important nursing news, and the research articles are written in language that is clear and understandable.
