Meet the new nurse graduates
Longwoods, in collaboration with the Academy of Canadian Executive Nurses, will be supporting Canada’s student nurses in a variety of ways. For starters they have selected the Canadian Journal of Nursing Leadership as a journal of choice and we will provide them unlimited access. The Canadian Journal of Nursing Research joins us. The students have also agreed to support initiatives for mentoring, recruiting and continued education. If you have ideas for us write: grads@longwoods.com. Let us know if and how we can introduce you to this year’s graduates.
