The essential purposes of ANS are to advance the development of nursing knowledge and to promote the integration of nursing philosophies, theories and research with practice. We expect high scholarly merit and encourage innovative, cutting edge ideas that challenge prior assumptions and that present new, intellectually challenging perspectives. We seek works that speak to global sustainability and that take an intersectional approach, recognizing class, color, sexual and gender identity, and other dimensions of human experience related to health.

A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents. I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment; and yet I feel that I never was a greater artist than now.

Thanks for your work, Peggy. I am worried that prolonged or repeated periods of Crisis Standards of Care will contribute to normalization of deviance on a large scale. How this might adversely impact patients and staff and also new grads. I would appreciate any comments you might have. I’m currently writing a revision of “Successful Nurse Communication” (F.A. Davis 2015) and want to help prepare students. Thanks, Beth Boynton, RN, MS, CP (beth@bethboynton.com)
