WHO'S WHO OF NURSING EDITORS
 |
Paula McGee, PhD, MA, BA, RNT, CertEd Co-editor, Diversity in Health and Social Care, July 2004 Prior Editor Position: Inaugural editor, British Journal of Nursing, 1992-1995 Years as Editor: Since 2001 Years in INANE: Since 2004 Other position: Professor of Nursing, Academic Enquiry Support Unit, University of Central England, Perry Barr, Birmingham, UK Accomplishment: Launching Diversity in Health and Social Care and the quality of what we are starting to produce. Facilitating new writers. Best: Meeting such interesting people and the privilege of reading their papers before anyone else. Worst: Especially with new writers, I have to edit some text. Amusing: This is from a long time ago. The journal that I edited depended heavily on the sale of advertising space. For a particular issue, space had been sold to manufacturers of operating theatre equipment. We were short of copy, so I went home and wrote an article on theatre nursing relating to theoretical ideas about nursing. To my complete surprise, it touched a chord and people showed a lot of interest. I was even invited to speak at national conferences about my ideas. The irony was that, during my nurse training, I had to take the obligatory 8 week experience and hated every single minute. I made sure that I would never have to go back there. If not editor?: Be looking for an editor’s job. Somehow, it really feels like me. Relax?: Dry white wine, detective fiction, gardening, walking, renovating my house. |
