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.

Lasting influence
A few days ago we sent out an email giving the latest ANS ranking of 15th out of 85 nursing journals, with a new 5-year impact factor ranking of 1.587. Beverly Hall
responded with congratulations and a story illustrating the lasting influence of her article published in ANS titled “An Essay on an Authentic Meaning of Medicalization: The Patient’s Perspective” (2003, Vol 26:1). Here is what Beverly shared:
The physician is Alan Weiss, and he also sent me a personal message affirming how significant Beverly’s work has been:
This account is one of many examples of the lasting influence of what we publish in the journal. In fact ANS has many articles that are recognized as classic and timely long after the date of publication. I have identified many of these in the “Classics Collection” that appears on the ANS web site. There are a number of other Collections that give a listing of significant articles by topic – articles that were published in the first two decades of the journal and that have retained lasting significance.
If you have not yet discovered this treasury of timeless and thought-provoking articles, visit the web site now! When you find something that is important to you, share it with others. We cannot imagine how powerful the ideas that speak to us as individuals might be for others as well!
