The Journal of Neuroscience Nursing is the official journal of the American Association of Neuroscience Nurses. The bimonthly publication offers original articles on advances in neurosurgical and neurological techniques as they affect nursing care, theory and research, and commentary on the roles of the neuroscience nurse in the health care team.

The journal provides information to nurses and health care professionals working in diverse areas of neuroscience patient care, such as multi-specialty and neuroscience intensive care units, general neuroscience units, combination units (neuro/ortho, neuromuscular/rehabilitation, neuropsychiatry, neurogerontology), rehabilitation units, medical-surgical units, pediatric units, emergency and trauma departments, and surgery departments. The information is applicable to professionals working in clinical, research, administrative, and educational settings.

“We are excited about the wonderful opportunities that await us with our partnership with LWW,” said V. Susan Carroll, JNN’s Editor. “Our collaboration will help AANN build on the foundation that has helped us publish an exceptional publication in the nursing field for the last 39 years.”

“The Journal of Neuroscience Nursing is a excellent addition to the LWW publishing program,” said Beth Guthy, Publisher. “By providing the journal in print and online we aim to strengthen the JNN’s position as a vital information resource for the nursing and healthcare community.”
