Published five times a year, School Nurse News focuses on topics related to the health issues of school-aged children and adolescents (grades K-12), as well as the health and professional issues that concern school nurses.

We believe this is an excellent opportunity for both new and experienced writers. The editorial staff will provide authors of selected manuscripts with constructive suggestions and writing assistance.

School Nurse News publishes feature articles as well as news articles and regular departments, such as Asthma & Allergy Watch, Career & Salary Survey, Oral Health, Nursing Currents, and Sights & Sounds.

Manuscripts can include case histories, scenarios of health office situations, updates on diseases, reporting of research, and discussion of procedures and techniques, among others. The author is responsible for the accuracy of content. References should be complete, accurate, and in APA format. Tables, charts and photographs are welcome. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce any material that has a pre-existing copyright.

The feature article, references, tables and charts should total 8-10 typewritten pages, double-spaced. The author’s name should be included only on the top sheet. The top sheet should also include the title of the article, the author’s credentials, current position, address and phone.

Published manuscripts are covered by copyright and become the property of Franklin Communications, Inc. Please forward your manuscript along with a disk to
School Nurse News, 71 Redner Road, Morristown, NJ 07960

You can also e-mail your manuscript to michael@schoolnursenews.org. Prospective authors are welcome to write, fax or e-mail for information related to appropriate topics and assistance.
