Journals for nurses who want more

The American Journal of Nursing is a bit more deeper thans those other two you mentioned.

The Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International publishes a pretty decent journal

Also - if you are interested in a specialty subject, many nursing organizations publish their own. I subscribe to the Journal of Emergency Nursing and the American Association of Nephrology Nursees and both are very medical and in-depth with research-driven articles.

American Journal of Critical Care: http://ajcc.aacnjournals.org/

Type of journals you are looking for sponsored by many of the nursing apecialty organizations.

As others have said, there are many more nursing journals out there. Most specialty groups have their own journals and there are also journals that cross specialties focusing on research and other scholarly activities.

Maybe you should go to a good health care library (at a college that has a nursing program or a large hospital) and simply spend an afternoon browsing the shelves. You would quickly get a sense of the possibilities. You would also be able to get the information you would need to subscribe to the one(s) of your choice.

Happy hunting!

'because you care' are good articles that give information,apply it to clinical practice and is concise enough usually that it sticks in your head.

Maybe I'm a traitor, but I read more medical journals than nursing journals when I *really* want to dig in and understand something.

I like a pp's idea of going to the library at your hospital or school and perusing through a broad variety of journals to see what you like.

AJN is no longer an ANA publication but owned by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins....you might want to look at a current issue.
