Healthcare publisher Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (LWW), part of Wolters Kluwer Health, US, has signed an agreement with the American Association of Neuroscience Nurses. Under the deal, LWW will publish the Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, beginning January 2009.
The Journal of Neuroscience Nursing is the official journal of the American Association of Neuroscience Nurses. The bi-monthly 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. It 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.
Founded in 1968, the American Association of Neuroscience Nurses is committed to working for the highest standard of care for neuroscience patients by advancing the science and practice of neuroscience nursing. The association accomplishes this through continuing education, information dissemination, standard setting, and advocacy on behalf of neuroscience patients, families, and nurses.
