Prior Editor Position: Associate Editor, Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic & Neonatal Nursing

Accomplishment: Being the editor of JOGNN; it is the journal I "grew up on" in my specialty as a young RN. I count it a high honor to serve as its editor.
Best: The opportunity that I have to facilitate the dissemination of the science and the best practices of the field.
Worst: The work has no ends and no beginnings; it is constant regardless of my need for a break or vacation.
If not editor?: I already "do" many things besides being an editor. The editor role is in addition to my fulltime life as an academician including research, teaching, practice and professional service. I would just do more of the "other stuff" if I were not an editor.
