November 01, 2021 Let’s Celebrate Our Specialty! A week celebration turned into a month for our 30th anniversary.

Happy Medical-Surgical Nurses Month!

Usually, we celebrate Medical-Surgical Nurses for only a week in November (1-7), but this year we decided to commemorate the whole month.

After all, this is AMSN’s 30th Anniversary, so we might as well take the month to celebrate!

September 06, 2021 It’s Convention Month! While it is no one’s first choice, there are some things to look forward to with a virtual convention.

Last month the AMSN Board of Directors made the very difficult decision to change the format of our annual convention from hybrid (in-person and virtual) to all virtual. The convention was to be held in Orlando, Florida, and with the pandemic once again causing infections and hospitalizations to increase due to the delta variant, it became apparent that a change would be necessary.

It is amazing to think that AMSN has been supporting and educating medical-surgical nurses for three decades.

AMSN plans to have lots of fun celebrating 2021 and our medical-surgical nursing specialty so check the AMSN Connections app, make sure AMSN has your email so you get the information about weekly contests in your inbox, and check the website frequently to find information about the activities and fun.
