title: Board's eye view.
abstract: IN 1992, when I was a member of the first Emergency Nurse editorial board, I had recently been appointed as a charge nurse. I was probably the most junior nurse on the team and, although my contributions from the clinical shop floor were welcomed, I was keen to learn from the more seasoned board members.
