Reflections on Nursing Leadership will be exclusively online in 2006. —Nancy Dickenson-Hazard |
RNL GOES ONLINE
At the same time, we wholeheartedly embrace the new technology that has paved the way for our growth and global expansion. We can now communicate quickly with the most distant of our members, and an increasing number of you are opting to renew your memberships online, foregoing what some consider the encumbrance of paperwork and a trip to the post office. We continue to enhance the value of your membership and evolve as an organization, so we are excited to announce that we will bring you Reflections on Nursing Leadership (RNL) in an online format beginning with this issue. We look forward to bringing this award-winning publication to you in this new way. By going online, we will be able to bring you: With this issue, we begin by moving some feature content, RNews Capsules, plus Noteworthy, Announcements and portions of Inside the Honor Society exclusively online. Online, Inside the Honor Society content will be included under the link titled “In Touch.” Feel free to print out any online content and post it on your area bulletin boards. Reflections on Nursing Leadership will be exclusively online in 2006. When we began publishing a four-page, black-and-white newsletter 30 years ago, it is unlikely that even our visionary president, Sister Rosemary Donley, or our perceptive executive officer, Nell Watts, foresaw the day when the publication would become an eye-popping, full-color magazine. A lot has changed in those 30 years. One thing has never changed, though, over the course of time: excellence. We were just notified that Reflections on Nursing Leadership received five awards this year for its design and editorial excellence. Now it is time to move this publication forward and expand its reach. The world—certainly the world of our organization—becomes a smaller place by virtue of shared technology and the demographic wealth and diversity of our members. RNL

At
the Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International, we
have the best of both worlds. We are steeped in the traditional
world of the nursing profession. Our organization is among the
oldest, most prestigious and certainly the most academically rigorous
of any nursing group. You need only attend an induction to see
the proud ritual and ceremony that underpin our organization.
Throughout the years, successive boards have voted to uphold rigorous
admissions criteria, and a look at the bright faces of today’s
initiates is to know that membership remains an honor and a privilege.
