The new publication’s website is http://www.americannursetoday.com
The Brendlinger Library will also continue to carry American Journal of Nursing; however, please note that AJN is no longer the ANA’s “official” journal.

“It is scarcely necessary for us to make an apology to our readers for failing to issue our paper during the past week. Part of the time the Rebels had possession of the town, and of course it was then impossible to do anything in the office. We hope, however, to be able to do better in the future, and we feel certain that our subscribers will see at once that our apparent neglect of them was unavoidable.” (Gettysburg Republican Compiler, July 13, 1863, p.2)
