Purpose of the Journal
The primary objective of Critical Care Nursing Quarterly (CCNQ) is to serve as a resource for continuing education and the clinical practice of critical care. Each issue addresses a timely topic of vital importance to nurses directly involved in the management of critically ill patients and their families, and will be suitable for use as a supplementary text as well as a journal and reference work.
Publication Policy
The content of CCNQ is topical and consists of articles written by various members of the intensive care professional team. Although the content of the issue is designed for direct application to clinical nursing practice, basic research is included when it is deemed essential to support a comprehensive presentation of a subject. Material from management, legal, behavioral, and other supporting sciences will be judiciously selected too in order to enhance certain topics.
