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

 The Premier Professional Nursing Journal June 14, 2003

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.
 Political or Practical January 8, 2006

If you are more interested in political aspects of nursing and in rare and obscure diseases this magazine is for you. If you want to learn more about common conditions and disease processes I would recommed Nursing Made Incredibly Easy or RN magazines. This magazine focuses on the more experienced nurse practicioner and requires you to have a broad knowledge base. If you are a new grad or have little clinical experience this may leave you looking for more answers to your own questions than giving you what little time you have in a day to learn something. Keep the medical dictionary and references nearby.
 magazine great, publisher stinks! March 23, 2006

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!
 Journal is ok, LWW publisher = inept !! December 19, 2006

I agree with the Bradshaw review. I too subscribed for supposedly three years, but still cannot access online. Also got back issues from 4-6 months before subscribing. The LWW company is poorly organized. I had only confusing, inconsistent, and simply wrong information when trying to straighten out my account with the LIPPINCOTT publisher. Do NOT buy from them !!
Getting Very Politically Left October 13, 2007

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.
