Summary
Nurses do great work, but unless we also work to disseminate the information no one will benefit from the great work we do. There are several ways to disseminate our work and not all of them involve being a great author. Nursing as a professional community has barriers in dissemination. Nursing must recognize the value of their practice and work to disseminate the knowledge. Nursing thinks of publication and dissemination in terms of books and journals. Other nursing platforms exist for nurses to disseminate their work, however, their knowledge of those platforms or their accessibility are limited. Knowledge of authoring an online learning course, submission to an e-repository and submitting and abstract were much more limited. Many nurses did not feel they had done something worth sharing, had the time to submit or had the knowledge of how to prepare a submission.
