abstract: Nurse executives, faculty, and nursing leaders who want to mentor colleagues to write can help them by using a step-by-step system with frequent feedback as they develop the manuscript. This breaks down the multiple steps to do-able ones and gives the new authors help at each juncture, so they avoid the most common reasons for rejection.
