Letter From the
Editor
Jeri W. Dunkin
The Online Journal of Rural Nursing and Health
Care is the official Journal of the Rural Nurse Organization.
We are proud that we are now listed in the Cumulative Index
of Nursing and Health Literature (CINHL). We are in the process
with Medline as well. The editorial and support staff of the
Online Journal of Rural Nursing and Health Care has worked diligently
to expand the features of each issue to respond to reader needs.
This issue has both a student paper and continuing education
program.
The online Journal of Rural Nursing and Health
Care has been developed and operated through support of The
University of Alabama, Capstone College of Nursing, where the
website and webmaster reside. All have given generously of their
time and talents to make the journal an ongoing reality. In
addition, the managing editor, Dr. Steve Mac Call has brought
to bear his tremendous knowledge and talents in Information
management to create and maintain our digital library and the
electronic referencing feature of each article in the Journal.
We would not have been able to do it with out all the support
for both the Online Journal and the Rural Nurse Organization.
We are always open to input on the presentation style and content
of the Journal. Please contact me with suggestions or interest
in either RNO or the Online Journal.
It seems that every state in the US and areas
of Canada are currently facing budgetary deficits and economic
hard times. That is true in Alabama as well and as a result
the amount of time and effort that the Webmaster and information
management staff can contribute is in serious jeopardy. It is
clear that we will have to begin compensating them for their
work. This is very difficult, as the journal has no revenue
generating capacity of its own and RNO needs additional funds
to provide this level of financial support to the Journal.
