The IOMSN is proud to announce our collaboration with American Association of Neuroscience Nurses (AANN) and Association of Rehabilitation Nurses (ARN) in the development of Clinical Practice Guidelines for MS Nursing. Spearheaded by Amy Perrin Ross and Suzanne Smeltzer, the document reflects the work of numerous nursing professionals from all three organizations. This should be an excellent resource for novices as well as experienced nursing professionals. Congratulations to all the contributors of this important work.
