Sara Wohlford wins AJN mentored publication award

The AJN/Nurse Faculty Scholars Mentored Writing Awards program is an annual program to promote mentorship and develop scholarly writing skills among nurses. It was conceived by the 2012–2015 cohort of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Nurse Faculty Scholars Program, in honor of the mentorship they received. This award was created to continue the legacy of mentorship and to support scholarship development for all nurses, and AJN is continuing this program as part of their mission to support excellence in nursing publishing.

The winner of the 2019 award (presented in December 2019) is Sara Wohlford, MPH, RN. Sara and Nathalia Esteves-Fuentes collaborated with mentor, Kimberly Ferren Carter, PhD, RN, NEA-BC to coauthor their winning article, “Nursing Engagement Improves Sustainability Outcomes for Healthcare.” Their paper will be published in the American Journal of Nursing in 2020.
