Print or Digital? Set Your AANA Journal Preference

by Jan. 5

Starting in February, the AANA Journal will be delivered digitally unless you opt in to keep receiving a printed copy by Jan. 5. As a resident, you’ll continue to enjoy full digital access—anytime, on any device—so you can easily stay up to date during training. 

 

This shift helps AANA reinvest in what matters most to you: education, advocacy, well-being, and resident success.

A Holiday Treat: Get $25 Off Smarter Board Prep

What if we could make studying for boards a little easier and actually fun? 

Created by a CRNA professor who saw his residents struggling with information overload, Ollivate makes studying feel manageable again. Short daily challenges help you retain more in less time, whether you’re between cases or winding down after a shift. 

 

Ollivate users who completed all the questions and cleared their spaced repetition banks averaged 519.5 on the boards. We want you to feel that same confidence walking into your exam. 

 

It’s free to play, and if you want to unlock the full experience for maximum benefit, you can take $25 off any upgrade with the code GAMEYOURBOARDS. (Offer ends Dec. 31, 2025)
