PLEASE CONTRIBUTE!

We are looking for papers, presentations, book/software/resource reviews, and other digital works related to Nursing Informatics in Practice, Education, Research and Administration. Please join us in showcasing how Nursing Informatics is being shaped in Canada and globally. Please do not think that your work is not "good enough"! If it pertains to nursing informatics in some capacity, we will help you to polish your submission to perfection. Your submission does not have to be a scholarly paper, per se. It can be a narrative essay, outlining your experiences in practicing, teaching, researching, or managing nursing informatics initiatives. It can be a description of a web-site or other resource to help nurses become aware of the use of technology, data, information and the like in their practice. You can review an excellent book, video, or other resource related to informatics. Even poems, art work, multimedia, and other creative works are all welcome! As well, we are looking for regular column contributors that focus on new technologies, software reviews, tips for nursing informatics teaching or practice, - or perhaps you have a bright idea to suggest??

The Journal is issued four times a year, with a Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter edition. Deadlines for submissions include:

• Spring Issue - deadline January 1st
  
• Summer Issue - deadline April 1st
  
• Fall Issue - deadline July 1st
  
• Winter Issue - deadline October 1st
  

The deadline for the Summer 2006 Edition has been extended until June 15th, 2006

If you are interested in submitting, please send an abstract of your work (max. 1000 words) to our editorial board (june.kaminski@cnia.ca) for consideration. We welcome inventive as well as practical papers and other forms of exploration into the diverse world of Nursing Informatics!
