Publishing my first paper-Help Please!!

I recently wrote a paper on the psychosocial effects of parental incarceration for my families class. My professor suggested I should consider having this paper published. I have looked at several nursing journals but am unable to find a student nursing journal ( I know one exists, my prof does not remember the name).

If anyone knows of Student Nursing Journals could you please pass this information on (any tips on getting it published would be great too).

Your help is greatly appreciated...I'm super excited :)

Hello cdnnursingstudent,

I have not heard of any nursing journals where the readership is primarily students. It appears to me that your professor really wants you to get your research published in a respectable nursing journal. When you click on the link below, you will see a list of academic nursing journals. Note that this list is not comprehensive. It is more likely that your professor will add his/her name as one of the contributors to the research. Even if you and a few others are the key investigators on a research project, the professor will get his/her name to the list of contributing authors. Sad, but that's how academia works. Everyone wants to be acknowledged.
