JCN Continuing Education Tests Move Online
Beginning with this issue, 32.1, JCN CE testing will only be available online at http://www.NursingCenter.com/CE/CNJ. The online option allows readers to gain immediate access to tests, complete their CE, and obtain test results and their certificate. No waiting on the mail for needed CE documentation!
If you prefer to read your CE tests on paper you can still access any test at http://journalofchristiannursing.com in the specific volume and issue in which the CE article appeared. Look for the article title under the large header, "CE Connection." The test will be free. Open the pdf, print the test, and complete your answers before you take the test online!
JCN offers a distinct blend of clinical and professional content with an underlying spiritual emphasis. CE for the specialty practice of faith community nursing is available, along with unique CE on spiritual care and healthcare/medical missions. Two online tests are offered with each quarterly issue of JCN; over 90 contact hours are available!
Online CE may be obtained through http://NursingCenter.com/CE/CNJ. NursingCenter's CEConnection features high-quality CE offerings that meet all recertification requirements and individual license renewal needs. After registering, you can save CE in your planner to take later, save tests in-progress, and access all past tests and certificates-a great way to track your CE!

Column Submissions Requested
Writing a column is a great entry point for nurses who know they are good nurses but aren't so sure about writing. JCN's regular column authors provide solid information in each quarterly issue. Some of these authors began by submitting a single submission. Who knows. Maybe there is a future column author emerging from your writings. We'd love to hear your insights, experiences, and nursing application via a column submission. Consider one of the following:
