ADVANCE for Nurses, a regional publication serving 125,000* nurses in Greater NY/NJ, provides a variety of easy-to-read clinical and professional articles on topics that are most important to nurses today and that promote the nursing profession. Each biweekly issue is attractively packaged in a user-friendly format with a separate recruitment advertising section where advertisers can promote open nursing positions and where subscribers are able to search for new job opportunities.

Throughout the year, every specialty of nursing is covered in the pages of this informational magazine. Every issue of ADVANCE for Nurses includes a continuing education offering. Plus, each issue's "Calendar of Events" keeps nurses informed of upcoming continuing education programs in their region.
