Scholarly Writing - Nurse Author & Editor Newsletter is a Must Read

I am working on a revised chapter for the 5th edition of the Informatics and Nursing textbook to replace chapter 6 in the 4th edition.  The focus of the new chapter is scholarly writing. The backdrop of the chapter is using the word process to format the paper with APA 6th citation style.

I revisited a wonderful quarterly newsletter, Nurse Author & Editor, at http://www.nurseauthoreditor.com/default.asp

If you are writing a paper for a class or as a requirement for a nursing degree, you will find the newsletter to be a "pot of gold!"  The September 2013 issue is just one example. 

The newsletter is free.  All you need to do is to create a login and password.  I have it on my list of MUST reads. 

Nurse writing for undergraduate nursing classes, a Master's thesis, PhD dissertation, DNP scholarly project or for publication should review the Nurse Author & Editor newsletter.

Georgia College Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP Program Accredition Visit Report

The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program was reviewed by CCNE over the last two days.  The exit report indicated that we had fully met all of the standards for accreditation.  We will receive a report of accreditation status in April of next year.  That is fantastic news for nurses who are interested in a DNP degree from Georgia College. 

New DNP Program at Georgia College

Georgia College is offering a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree this year.  The program begins in May.  The Union Recorder published an article about the degree program today.  I believe that DNPs will be integral in the transformation of nursing care.  Our program focuses on the DNP role of the nurse practitioner.
