  3. Colleagues’ Personal Experiences “I never want to see it again” “To be honest I’m afraid someone will turn around and say that’s all rubbish” “I meant to, but never got around to it” “I didn’t find my supervisor very supportive when I was doing the research, and now I really don’t know how to go about it (publishing)….I don’t want to ask them to co-author”

  6. Chronic Disease Management in Primary Care Practice Nurses (PN) provide much of the care for patients with chronic diseases Key findings of one unpublished Irish study showed: PN have vital role to play in chronic disease management in General Practice and Practices with a PN are more likely to have improvements in chronic disease management and practice targets at an advanced or optimum level.

  7.

  21. THE JOY OF WRITING—RECIPE FOR SUCCESSFUL PUBLICATION • One cup knowledge (no substitutions allowed) • One cup confidence • Half cup diligence • Two cups patience • Half cup curiosity • One quart creativity • Four to six references to taste • One to two co-authors (optional). • Ref: (Jean Blankenship)Winslow, S. A., L. M. Mullaly, et al. (2008) • Thoroughly mix knowledge with confidence and diligence until well-blended. • Extra diligence may be required. Sprinkle batter liberally with patience and pour entire quart of creativity over mixture. Adding curiosity will result in richer, more satisfying flavour. • Mix thoroughly until batter is smooth and no lumps remain. Gently fold dough into baking pan lined with references. Co-authors may be required for successful product. • Bake in prepared oven for 30 to 60 days. Remove from oven, cut and paste until desired shape is obtained and taste is satisfactory to all involved. • Multiple attempts may be required for desired results. • Serve with Pride!
