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

 5 Stars for AJN July 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
It is my pleasure to recommend AJN. Over the years that I've taken the journal, it has improved significantly in its scholarly contributions to the profession of nursing. Contents now include cutting edge research that has been cited by top journalists and authors in both lay and scientific publications, along with practical, evidence-based reviews that support excellence in practice. Every issue has several "gems" to enjoy. It is essential reading!

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.
 I am dissapointed with the 2 years of AJN I got February 2, 2008

Every once in a while, there will be an article gem.
Overall, this magazine is not for me. It is full of advertising, and what content there is left to fill the pages is like reading a sociology and poetry magazine.
I have not been able to really use anything out of my AJN. A lot of fluff and no meat. The ribbon that wraps this up in a "don't do" package is the fact that their customer service STINKS (anyone able to find a phone number?). They screwed up my bill on a book I ordered, sent me a bunch of previously published magazines when I ordered a subscription... It's like there's 5 people that run the whole company.
Getting Very Politically Left October 13, 2007
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
I've been a long time subscriber. AJN is currently a left leaning nursing magazine. I find it insulting. Articles about current medical trends and what nurses need to know about these trends have improved. Nursing 2007 was always a better publication for that. And everyone should be receiving the free publications Nursing Spectrum and Advance for Nursing that will give you lots of current nursing news.
AJN has gone 'round the bend on it's politics push. I will not be re-subscribing. There is a reason it is no longer the publication of the American Nurses Society. I'm not sure what that reason is as they are very left wing as well.
Go to the library if you have to read AJN articles.
Magazine fine; buying from Amazon... January 11, 2007

The magazine is fine; I'd been a subscriber for several yrs but my subscription had lapsed. I decided to buy from [...]. When it finally started arriving, I got 3 old issues within a week. I'm not sure if this was a problem with Amazon or what, but I never had that problem with my directly bought subscription to AJN.
