Academy of Medical-Surgical Nurses

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Non-notable medical organisation. A quick search on news and books turns up only passing mentions. BrigadierG (talk) 00:03, 15 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep It has 12,000 members, has an annual conference, publications, manages key certification programs, issues awards and receives coverage in the academic press as well as news.
 * News: Listed as a key nursing specialty group here and here. News coverage of the AMSN PRISM awards can be found, for example, here and here, as well as in a book here.
 * In Books, listed as the only US body for medical-surgical nursing here, "the professional organization for nurses practicing in medical-surgical settings" here, "the only specialty nursing organization dedicated to the practice of medical-surgical nursing" here . Their certification program is mentioned here and here as part of the general system of certification for Medical-surgical nursing in the US. Books are published on passing this certification (CMSRN), as can be found on a google books search here.

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Concur with keep. A cursory search appears to support the idea that this is a major medical professional organization that plays a role in licensing and continuuing education. It needs to be substantialy expanded, but I don't think it meets deletion criteria.nf utvol (talk) 01:04, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
