We are very proud to announce the Suzanne Smith Mentoring Editors Awardees for 2017!

Funds to support these awards come from the Suzanne Smith Development Fund. Each awardee has received a complimentary registration to INANE 2017. In addition, to enhance their experience at the conference, we have paired each awardee with an editor-mentor. Thank you to the mentors for agreeing to serve in this role and congratulations to the award winners. If anyone would like to add a personal message of congratulations to the award winners, please do so in the comments!

Debra Hagler, PhD, RN, ACNS-BC, CNE, CHSE, ANEF, FAAN
Debra Clinical Professor & Coordinator, Scholarship of Teaching and Learning at Arizona State University in Phoenix, AZ.

Since January 2017, Debbie has been the Associate Editor for The Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing. Marilyn Oermann, Editor-in-Chief of Nurse Educator and JNCQ is delighted to have the opportunity to serve as Debbie’s mentor at INANE 2017.
Katherine E. Gregory, PhD, RN
Katherine (Kate) Gregory is Associate Director of Research, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, MA. She received her PhD in Nursing from Boston College in 2006. She is a new editor of the Journal of Neonatal and Perinatal Nursing. In her application, Kate wrote:
I am becoming the editor of JPNN as a hospital-based nurse scientist, which means that I am not situated in a university-based setting where additional supports for new editors are more readily available (i.e. other nurse editors and nurse scholars). While my current role is a strength to this very clinically focused journal, it also comes with some challenges.
Kathleen Rice Simpson, Editor-in-Chief of MCN: The American Journal of Maternal-Child Nursing is also a hospital based scientist and editor and has enthusiastically agreed to serve as Kate’s mentor for INANE 2017. All of us on the Awards Committee think this will be a perfect fit!
