The Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing (JCEN), published by SLACK Incorporated, has been inducted into the International Academy of Nursing Editors (INANE) Nursing Journal Hall of Fame.

Nicoll, PhD, MBA, RN, FAAN and executive volunteer of INANE stated: “The five honored journals are international in scope and cumulatively represent 412 years of scholarly publication in nursing. The journals are a cross section of professional nursing practice, research, education, and leadership and demonstrate depth in nursing excellence and scholarship through the published literature.”
