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.

Charged twice
The AJN charged me twice for one subscription and then refused to give me a refund. The customer service reps were rude to deal with and I will never buy this product again.

A quality resource
I continue to be impressed with this journal and it's one of the very few that I read entirely. While I don't provide direct patient care today, it helps me stay current with the complex patient conditions and political issues facing nurses. "Politics " is not a 4-letter word - it's vital if nursing is to maintain its role in assuring patient/family safety and quality. As for resources like Nursing Made Incredibly Easy, they possibly have a role for the very basic novice or the layperson. But just as I do not want my neurosurgeon to base his practice on Neurosurgery Made Incredibly Easy, so too do I not want nurses caring for me and my family to base their practice on Nursing Made Incredibly Easy. Nursing is NOT easy, it IS hard. It takes a lot of work and is incredibly rewarding. Thanks, AJN, for reflecting all of these facets.

Professional nursing for all of us
As members of a complex profession with a range of specialties, it is easy for us to lose sight of our common core as registered professional nurses. This is the only journal covering the range of nursing practice at a professional level, incorporating original research, commentary and clinical applications. Reading it regularly provides me a regular overview of important issues facing nurses and nursing, beyond what I might seek out for my special interests in public health. A subscriber for 40+ years, I would not miss an issue.

30 years of AJN and counting
I have been reading AJN since I graduated from nursing school 30 years ago....it is timely, well written, ballanced, and provides me with the information that I need to stay in touch with current nursing practice. Thank you to Dr. Mason for an outstanding job.

great journal
I am not sure what the "too political, too left" comments mean. The AJN is a pro-nursing publication. Of course there are political implications. Nurses cannot practice in a vacuum. Legislation and policy determine our ability to be patient advocates. As professionals, we must know what is happening in that arena. And we should all be involved. It is simply naive to believe you can take care of patients without being a nursing advocate in the process. I have also found the journal to be filled with information for all levels of providers, not just experienced practitioners. For those readers who prefer fluff articles, lacking in depth and substance, the AJN probably is a poor choice.
