Journal Mission
The journal is committed to advancing the field through the publication of peer-reviewed research, quality improvement initiatives, and evidence-based practices. Reflecting AMSN’s dedication to empowering medical-surgical nurses, it will provide essential resources to enhance patient care, support professional growth, and inspire excellence.
2024 Update
AMSN plans to launch a new peer-reviewed, evidence-based journal that provides the valued content you’ve come to love from AMSN while enhancing and expanding on the topics and content formats you want more of.
The AMSN Board of Directors made the difficult decision to end its license of the MEDSURG Nursing Journal in late 2023. This decision was not made lightly. The board evaluated in detail the legality of ownership rights, the excessive costs to continue publishing and printing the journal, and the needs of our members to receive the highest caliber of peer-reviewed, evidence-based research and articles.
As you can imagine, establishing a new scientific journal is not an initiative taken lightly, and we intend to approach the creation strategically with intention and member input. More information will be shared with you as plans take shape in 2024 to launch a new AMSN journal next year.
