Journal Club
Beginning in 2018, we will offer a quarterly Journal Club. During the Journal Club meeting, we will evaluate and discuss research studies presented in the Journal of Addictions Nursing, considering the implications of the study for clinical practice, education and research. The inaugural meeting of the Journal Club will be held at our 2018 Conference in Denver, however, all future meetings will be on line via our Twitter Chat. Dates and details will be posted on this page, and via our ‘news feed’ and social media apps.
