As 2009 nears, I want to thank the many authors who submitted manuscripts to The Journal of Nursing Administration during 2008. Appreciation also goes to those people whose advice and guidance shaped the direction of nursing administration knowledge through the pages of the journal, particularly our editorial advisors, whose names are listed on the masthead.
