Designated a Doody’s Core Title! “”Writing for publication is essential for disseminating nursing knowledge, and this book will surely prepare budding authors and serve as a resource for experienced authors. It is a great reference for authors at all levels.”” Score: 100, Five Stars –Doody’s Medical Reviews “”Teaching writing is the biggest challenge when teaching these courses including the mechanics of writing and how to organize…manuscripts. Manuscript writing is so much different than writing a paper for a grade. Students don’t always appreciate the amount of time and attention to detail that a manuscript takes. This book is excellent. Gives the students a broad overview of writing yet includes specifics, such as how to create tables.”” –Kimberly Whiteman, DNP, MSN Waynesburg University Praise for previous edition This award-winning book has helped thousands of nursing students and nurses produce high quality work, with its focus on all aspects of writing for professional publication.
