Nurse leaders in practice, administration, and education have exciting ideas and innovations that would be beneficial to share with others.

Using presentation, audience participation, questions, and discussion, participants will gain knowledge and confidence in how to write manuscripts that will be favorably received by editors and reviewers. Identifying and overcoming pitfalls, ethical issues, and effective use of resources will also be discussed.
