Rehabilitation Nursing Call for Manuscripts

Now is the time for you to share your knowledge and expertise with your colleagues by publishing in Rehabilitation Nursing, the official journal of the Association of Rehabilitation Nurses.

Did you know… RNJ received 200+ manuscripts from 32 countries in 2020 alone, and the RNJ manuscript peer-review turnaround time for a first decision is just 15 days.

Get published in RNJ! Submit clinical articles—including, evidence-based practice papers, QI projects, professional issues, and clinical consultation papers—as well as research articles on the following topics of interest:

  • Administrative and management issues
