As editors of the official journal of the National League for Nursing, we encourage you to submit your work for possible publication. Nursing Education Perspectives (formerly Nursing and Health Care Perspectives) is a bi-monthly, highly respected peer reviewed journal that provides a forum for the exchange of information and ideas regarding nursing education, faculty issues, and the design, implementation, and evaluation of innovative programs.

In the coming year, we are particularly interested in manuscripts on doctoral education, advanced practice education, and areas targeted by NLN’s Blue Ribbon Panel on Priorities for Research in Nursing Education.

We offer many other opportunities for your involvement.  For example, we are hoping to add faculty with diverse interests and specialties to our Peer Review Panel, and we invite you to complete and submit the Peer Reviewer Application (PDF), along with a copy of your Curriculum Vitae, for our consideration.

In our Faculty Matters column, we interview innovative and creative faculty about aspects of their faculty role, such as the teaching/learning strategies they use, their experiences as mentors, how they navigate the publication process, and how they combine practice and academia.  Please let us know if you would like to tell your story in Faculty Matters, or if you have a colleague to recommend whom we should contact.

You may enjoy keeping up with new publications by reviewing books for our Bookends department, and we would welcome knowing your areas of interest so that we can review relevant books. In addition, you may have a particularly innovative program that should be featured for Education News.  In fact, you may want to encourage one of your students to contribute to this department.  And, finally, don’t forget EndNote, the last page of each issue, where we publish poetry, essays, and creative endeavors of all kinds, by nurses and about nursing.  We would welcome your contributions.

Help us keep Nursing Education Perspectives at the forefront of nursing education.  Let us hear from you!
