  • Include your resume and/or CV and any sample articles you have written.
    Please do not submit articles or queries you're sending elsewhere at the same time. 
  • Allow four weeks for a response.
  • If you send your information via the U.S. mail, don't forget to include a return envelope and postage if you'd like your items returned.
  • Get to know the RN.com "voice" by browsing the site's news and feature articles. You might also browse the course offerings for story ideas.
  • Articles should be between 400-700 words.
  • Accuracy is important. Please fact-check your articles and include your source names, titles and contact information for follow up.
  • RN.com adheres to AP style. If you do not already own a copy of the Associated Press (AP) Stylebook and Libel Manual, check your local bookstore, library or purchase it online.
  • The editor reserves the right to edit your article for style and content. RN.com retains all rights to material created for the site.
  • Articles should be typed in 10 pt. or larger font, preferably Times New Roman. Include a brief biographical sketch about yourself at the end of the article.
  • Poetry, cartoons, humorous articles and fiction are not usually accepted, except in rare instances.

Ideas for stories
You're an expert in your profession and have a wealth of knowledge to share. What sets you apart from other nurses? Are you in a unique specialty or job? Have you learned a unique skill or process? Is there a colleague, supervisor or student nurse whom you'd like others to know about? Do you belong to trade organizations or network with other nurses? What ideas can you glean from these experiences? Ask yourself: What could I share with other nurses?
