The ANJ has an audited circulation of 66,276 and is read by over 120,000 nurses across Australia, so this is a great opportunity for you to highlight your work, and some of the practical programs / research of nurses and midwives working in these areas, or issues confronting this area of nursing that would be of interest to your nursing colleagues. Photo stories are also welcome (specifications for photos are included in the writer's guidelines).
The Australian Nursing Federation, which produces the Australian Journal of Advanced Nursing (AJAN), is seeking expressions of interest from reviewers. They would like to put the call out to nurses who might be interested in reviewing papers in their area of specialty.
