Online nursing journals and digital magazines are the future and it is good to see that Nursing Spectrum is taking the lead on this in nursing. I lke the format and the feel of this digital magazine and it can be stored electronically and accessed easily for future reference.
The future of nursing publications is online and its unfortunate that some many journals are still cranking out the hard copies of magazines and journals.
Frankly I don't have the urge to write and publish like I used to years ago because the internet and blogs have changed the playing field for a hands on practitioner such as myself. While it nice to see your name in print in a publication that maybe a few thousand may read, its even better for branding, marketing, and advertising purposes to have your materials available and accessible to ANY nurse on the internet.
Don't get me wrong there is a time and place for publishing for nurses depending on your title, experience, education, goals, and career plan. But for me, publication of an article here and there in a nursing journal is okay and being a Blog Master is my golden ticket to accessing potential clients and providing information ALL nurses who access my sites.
