Call for Papers Volume 4(1) - See it, Speak it, Write it, Change it.

                                 Call for Papers Volume 4(1) - See it, Speak it, Write it, Change it.

Witness readers, editors, reviewers, supporters and contributors form a collective of critical nurses in Canada and beyond who strive to ameliorate inequities in the health and quality of life of all. By virtue of nursing’s privileged societal position, we witness a wide array of inequities that require us to take action. Our tag line represents the ethos of the journal: “See^* it .... Speak it .... Write it .... Change it ....”

We are pleased, then,  to again draw on our tag line as our inspiration for an open Call for Papers that reflects the ethos and intent of the journal.
