Martin Johnson, RN, MSc, PhD
Nurse Education Today
Editor, Nurse Education Today. Start, January 2003
Prior Editor’s Position: Review Editor, Nurse Education Today, 1994-2000
Associate Editor, Nurse Education Today, 2000-2003
Years as Editor: Since 2001
Years in INANE: Since 2006
Other Position: Professor and Director, University of Salford Centre for Nursing, Midwifery, and Collaborative Research, Manchester, UK
Accomplishment: Co-chairing NETNEP 2006, the first Elsevier International Nursing Education Conference, Vancouver, B.C.
Best: Being able to develop the standard of nursing education research.
Worst: Too much work for the time available
Amusing: An author from the USA asked why she had not heard about her paper, which she had submitted the week before!! I pointed out that editing is a cottage industry for many journals. The office is not like the New York Times; it’s my kitchen table.
3 words: Critical (appropriately, I hope), loyal, dry
Strangest request: To print a polemic letter about the suffering of Palestinians on the West Bank. The words "nurse" nor "education" were nowhere mentioned.
If not editor?: Write more books.
Relax?: Films and gripping, quality HBO television. Classical music. I ride a mountain bike (good countryside in Northern England). I like to holiday in Western USA or Europe.
