Accomplishment: Nurse editor research with Margaret Freda
Best: Shaping the quality of evidence in print and improving the skills and public image of nurses as writers.
Worst: Serving many bosses and juggling it among other full-time responsibilities
Amusing: In the verbatim data from 90 nurse editors for the study cited above, the prevalence of typos and poorly constructed statements was funny (yet painful)... even editors need editors.
3 words: Organized, observant, articulate
Strangest request: We frequently get requests to disregard the fact that they have not followed author guidelines.
If not editor?: Do more research. Read more fiction. Cook and garden.
Relax?: Stealing time for the last 3 activities above.
