The Academy of Medical-Surgical Nurses (AMSN) is dedicated to featuring med-surg nurses.

The "It's All About YOU!" section of the AMSN Website features YOUR stories. There are stories about groups (chapters, units, facilities, etc.) and their activities and success stories. The stories may be personal interactions with patients or colleagues.

We encourage you to submit stories, pictures, videos, and first-hand accounts of your experiences to share with the visitors of AMSN. Watch for chapter news, events, and service projects, unit and facility celebrations and achievements, even individual award announcements. Tell us YOUR story!

We have added a fantastic new feature to make it easy and fast to participate - the "EXPRESS Story Submission Form". There are predefined questions for you to answer that are tailored to each category. You can even include up to three images with every story! The other Full Story Submission Form option for your story submission offers the ability to include more details.
