It is with great pleasure that Lippincott Williams & Wilkins publishes Volume 22, Number 1, of Orthopaedic Nursing. The National Association of Orthopaedic Nurses is a well-respected organization that has grown tremendously since its founding in 1980, and LWW is proud to partner with NAON to bring you the premiere publication in the specialty.
When Mary Rodts, Editor; Sue Salmond, Research Editor; Ann Maher, Past Editor; and I met in April 2002, we at once realized that NAON and LWW had similar goals: to promote the science of nursing and to disseminate the highest quality information available. We recognized that by joining as publishing partners, we could work together to advance this vision.
LWW is deeply committed to promoting, advancing, and celebrating the nursing profession, and we are proud to begin this new journey with the National Association of Orthopaedic Nurses and Orthopaedic Nursing.
