About the Monitor

AMSN is committed to providing our members and the medical-surgical nursing community with the highest quality resources and information about the specialty of medical-surgical nursing. Our goal is to continue furthering our organization’s strength and value in supporting medical-surgical nurses. Reevaluating and reimagining how we create, publish, and amplify AMSN content, articles, research, and thought leadership means we are better positioned to elevate the specialty, demonstrate our commitment to the community, and continue to deliver quality patient care. The Monitor is the official content destination for AMSN members to publish their thought leadership and experiences to advance AMSN's position as the leader in medical-surgical nursing.
