NASN School Nurse clinical journal is seeking our next Editor.
Since the January 2011 debut of the NASN School Nurse (NASN SN), the journal’s first Editor, Cynthia Galemore, created and led this clinical resource journal. In October 2023, Ms. Galemore will retire from the Editor role. The National Association of School Nurses (NASN) applauds her work over the years.
In preparation for the next era of the NASN SN, NASN issues a call for Editor. The Editor of NASN SN envisions and manages the development of each of the six annual issues, consults with the members of the Editorial Advisory Board and Editorial Panel, and connects with authors. The experience provides an insider perspective on scholarly publishing and reviewing. The skills, experience, and expertise brought to the Editor role enhances the school nursing specialty. The NASN SN Editor converses and collaborates with The Journal of School Nursing (JOSN) Executive Editor. NASN provides support for the Editor to attend both the annual in person JOSN Editorial Advisory Board meeting and the in person NASN Annual Conference (both held in the same location). The Editor is a consultant position with NASN, reporting to the NASN Chief Executive Officer.
Requirements include a history of authoring and reviewing peer-reviewed publications and a working knowledge of evidence-based practice or quality improvement projects. Applicants must be an RN, with school nursing experience preferred. All qualified applicants will receive consideration; individuals from diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
