A Journey Through the History of the Journal of the Dermatology Nurses' Association

Abstract

Copyright © 2 cal reference written for dermatology nurses by dermatology nurses. Over the next 15years, JDNA succeeded in publishing numerous articles on issues that mattered most to dermatology nurses, ranging from mild skin conditions, such as acne and eczema, to life-threatening skin cancers and dermatologic emergencies. Over time, JDNA gradually transformed into the reliable, informative, and peer-reviewed resource it is today. This article traces the evolution of the JDNA, from its inception as a fledgling society journal 15years ago into a trusted information source with over 650 publications. Documenting the history of JDNA allows for readers to reminisce over their past experiences with the Journal to see how far it has come, while simultaneously illuminating areas for future development.
