Neuroscience nursing is a distinctive area within the nursing discipline that focuses on the care of individuals with disorders of the brain and nervous system. Neuroscience nurses work in a wide range of settings from Academic medical centers to skilled nursing facilities, Rehabilitation units to epilepsy monitoring units. Neuroscience nurses can be found in virtually any setting that nurses practice.[1] The first reports of nurses providing direct care to patients with neurological diseases came out of France and England in the late 19th century. Nurses observed Sir Victor Horsely’s first operation at the National Hospital in London [2]. To have the skills necessary to care for the complex patient population nurses at the time knew they needed specialized training. At the time training was informal and was provided by physicians sharing their knowledge. Around the same time, neuroscience nursing started to emerge in the United States as a nursing specialty thanks in part to Charles Karsner Mills, a physician at Philadelphia General Hospital. Dr. Mills would hold lectures for nurses on the care of patients with neurological diseases. In 1889 the content of these lectures was collected and The Nursing and Care of the Nervous and the Insane was published, thought to be the first textbook on neuroscience nursing [3]. In 1910, Amy Hilliard became the first superintendent of the nurses at the New York Neurological Institute. Ms. Hilliard went on to organize the first post-graduate courses that focused on neuroscience nursing. Though these courses continued to be led by physicians. It was not until the 1960’s that neuroscience nursing courses were taught by specialty trained nurses with the University of California School of Nursing in San Francisco and the New York Medical College in New York leading the way in training neuroscience nursing. In 1967 the American Association of Neuroscience Nurses (AANN) was founded. This was a collaboration between Barbara Therrien, a nurse instructor at Barnes Hospital in St. Louis Missouri and Dr. Henry Schwartz the president of the American Association of Neuroscience Surgeons. A colleague of Dr. Henry presented the idea to Agnes M. Marshall. The inaugural AANN education conference was held in Chicago in 1968 with a little over 100 nurses in attendance [4]. Today AANN has over 5,200 members worldwide. Journal of Neuroscience Nursing (JNN) is the official journal of AANN. This journal contains original articles specific to the nursing care and techniques for the specialty population of neurology and neurosurgery. The articles within the journal are applicable to all health care professionals who work across the continuum of care of the neuroscience patients.
