title: Nursing views from the front line.
abstract: A self-completion reader survey was sent with the December 2008 issues of RCN Publishing's eight specialist monthly journals. Subscribers were asked a series of multiple-choice and open-ended questions about their jobs, career paths and opinions on the state of nursing in the UK and their specialty. Responses were analysed by an independent research company. A total of 1,962 completed questionnaires were returned, representing a response rate of 3 per cent. Paediatric Nursing was the most widely subscribed to of the eight titles. This article examines the responses of Paediatric Nursing readers (n=526) and compares them with the overall survey results.
