The Nephrology
Nursing Journal, official publication of the American Nephrology Nurses’
Association (ANNA), is now in its 35th year of publication! The Nephrology
Nursing Journal has seen many changes through the years and has even
had four different titles during its long and distinguished history.
The
association’s official publication began in 1974 as The Journal of the
American Association of Nephrology Nurses and Technicians, when the organization
was known as AANNT. That title was shortened in 1980 the to AANNT Journal,
before changing over to the ANNA Journal in 1985 when the organization
became known as the American Nephrology Nurses’ Association (ANNA).
Finally,
the publication became known as the Nephrology Nursing Journal in February
2000 to reflect the journal’s global goal to reach readers within ANNA
as well as those outside the organization and the specialty.
The
publication has had five different editors throughout its tenure, including
current Editor Beth Ulrich, EdD, RN, FACHE, FAAN. |
