Welcome to American Nurse Today

American Nurse Today is the official journal of the American Nurses Association.  The journal is being made available to you through the generosity and commitment to your nursing education by Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Nursing, and Dean Michael Evans, PhD, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN.
