Nursing Scholars Shine through Librarian Collaboration

 By Penny Brown, Ascension MarCom *

Ascension's in-market librarians and a dedicated clinical informationist have launched a transformative initiative to support nursing scholars through the Ascension Nurse Author Index.

Why it matters: This collaboration highlights the vital role librarians play in enhancing clinical environments by recognizing and promoting the valuable contributions of nurse authors.

Impact: The Ascension Nurse Author Index elevates the visibility of nursing expertise, fostering collaboration and recognition within the healthcare community. The index includes peer-reviewed journal articles authored or co-authored by Ascension nurses, fostering collaboration, highlighting subject matter expertise, and recognizing the impact within the profession. It is maintained through a combination of self-reporting surveys and PubMed alerts. Nurses can submit their peer-reviewed article publications using this survey link.

  • This initiative demonstrates the value of library services, aligning with our Values of Wisdom and Creativity.
