Taking up the challenge for nurse education research and scholarship

First paragraph: This is my first editorial since being appointed Editor-in-Chief of Nurse Education Today. I am honoured to be taking up this prestigious role especially as I first published in the journal at the beginning of my academic career (Lauder, 1992). I never envisaged that one day I would be in this position of being able to promote the scholarship of others in the same way. I would like to thank the Elsevier team for appointing me and for their enthusiasm and commitment to publishing high quality journals such as Nurse Education Today
