Finding your voice: key elements to consider when writing for publication.

The dissemination of nursing knowledge rests on optimizing the accessibility of such knowledge among nurses and all other healthcare professionals. Nursing publications of all types, including research, case studies, reports, literature reviews, clinical audits, reflections on practice and letters to the editor, are important mechanisms for sharing knowledge and experience. Nurses need to publish their knowledge and experiences to inform and reflect on nursing practice.
