Season’s greetings!
JONA’s December issue highlights aspects of workforce development, including the importance of organizational structures and RN experience on levels of engagement. The issue also addresses how reflection helps develop management expertise, and the attributes associated with higher specialty certification rates.
Kudos to Maria Shirey, PhD, MBA, RN, FACHE, CNAA-BC, a JONA Editorial Board member, for recent recognition of the column “Competencies and Tips for Effective Leadership: From Novice to Expert ” as one of the most frequently cited articles by Labome.Org. We’ve included a link to this bonus content below, for your benefit.
Thanks for your continued support of JONA. I’m especially appreciative of the many individuals who provide the thorough peer reviews we count on to maintain our high degree of editorial integrity.
Happy holidays to each of you, and my best wishes for peace on Earth!
Sincerely,
Karen S. Hill, RN, DNP, NEA-BC, FACHE
