Infusion nurses have an ethical duty to disseminate their knowledge, and writing for publication is one way to fulfill that duty. Publishing also can help with career advancement. However, barriers, such as lack of time and confidence, often stand in the way of nurses’ sharing their expertise. In this program, you’ll learn how to break through those barriers so you can meet your writing goals. The speaker will demystify the publishing process, from picking a topic to reviewing final PDFs, and show how, as is true of nursing in general, following key steps can lead to an optimal outcome—in this case, a published article. You’ll also learn about nonpublication options for your writing to enhance your career. This foundational program will help pave the way for aspiring authors and serve as a refresher for more experienced ones. 

Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this session, learners will be able to: 
• Describe strategies for breaking down barriers to writing for publication.
• State how nonpublication options can improve writing skills.
