What are the mechanisms behind human immunity, and how do vaccines work to prevent infectious diseases? How has immunology contributed to the development of modern medicine and disease prevention?

Your publishing goal is to publish a report of your systems change quality improvement project
You will likely want to select a journal that is a nursing journal that is focused on evidence-based practice, a nursing journal that is focused on mental health, or a more general nursing journal.
You need to locate a journal that will publish reports of quality improvement projects. Not all journals will publish them, so you need to review the author guidelines very carefully. If it is not clear that the journal will publish a report of a quality improvement project, you should email the journal for clarification. Also, qualitative research is not the same thing as a quality improvement project! Quality improvement research is not the same as a quality improvement project!
As you are beginning authors, you will want to select a journal that is a “gateway” journal. A gateway journal is typically at a lower ranking than a big-name journal. Gateway journals are more likely to accept a beginning author for publication and work with the beginning author. It can be very difficult to publish in a big-name journal, even for experienced authors.
As you look for a journal, review multiple journals. Then, narrow the search to three journals to explore thoroughly. Be sure to review the following for each journal: (a) aim/purpose of the journal, (b) scope of the journal, (c) copyright and open access policies, (d) acceptance rate, (e) average number of days to first decision (typically, after the first review, authors are asked to make revisions to the manuscript and resubmit, and (f) ranking.

The IOM report was written in 2011 and called for changes in nursing related to education, practice, and leadership. it is important to understand the progress the profession has made since that time.

Hello everyone!
My name is. I live in the state of New Jersey. I have been a Registered Nurse for 3 years, and I am looking forward to becoming a Family Nurse Practitioner. I currently work on a cardiac telemetry unit and my responsibilities include monitoring any changes in the EKG output and notifying the doctor of any changes, assessing patients while paying close attention to detail, responding quickly to cardiac issues such as chest pain, administering various medications including cardiac drips, and performing necessary interventions. I am excited to begin my first travel RN assignment on a medical-surgical unit in the next few weeks. In the past, I have worked in a medical-surgical unit and a rehabilitation unit.
I believe that nursing administration, education, and research should be considered advanced practice nursing based on the definitions of advanced practice nursing. “Advanced practice nursing integrates research, education, practice, and management, has a high level of professional autonomy, advanced health assessment skills, decision-making skills, and diagnostic reasoning skills. In order to deal with the new and complex health demand of the population, reforms in health systems strategies include increasing the number of nurses working in clinical settings or advanced practice and expanding their roles” (Sánchez-Gómez et al., 2019). “The CNL brings evidence-based practice to the bedside, creates a culture of safety, and provides high-quality care. …the nurse educator role requires specialized preparation, and every individual engaged in the academic enterprise must be prepared to implement that role successfully” (Denisco, 2021).
Nurse administrators supervise healthcare workers and nurses, nurse educators educate healthcare professionals, and nurse researchers conduct studies and analyze data. All these professionals require an advanced level of education to become who they are today. They require specialized training and fit the definition of advanced practice nursing as mentioned previously in this discussion. Therefore, I believe that nursing administration, education, and research should be considered advanced practice nursing.
