FROM THE EDITOR

This was our goal: Create a forum where nurses could encounter nursing’s best ideas, tested by the challenge of real world nursing. You’re looking at the result. Every month, a new issue of ENK will be shaped by a guest editor whose work deserves a larger audience. These are nurses working in settings where nursing knowledge is directly applied -- where research and reality are engaged in a lively debate.
