SCHAUMBURG, Ill., July 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Emergency Nurses Association recognized on Wednesday the recipients of the annual Journal of Emergency Nursing Awards which include Reviewer of the Year and Author of the Year.

Nearly 50,000 ENA members receive the journal.

"The JEN Author and Reviewer of the Year Awards represent much more than just industry knowledge," says JEN Interim Editor-in-Chief Gordon Gillespie, PhD, DNP, RN, CEN, CNE, CPEN, PHCNS-BC, FAEN, FAAN.

The 2022 JEN Reviewer of the Year Award acknowledges the body of work of an individual reviewer(s) who exemplify dependability, timeliness, knowledge about topics, and provide in-depth, constructive feedback to authors on a consistent basis. Two individuals have been awarded the honor this year and they are Paul Clark, PhD, RN, MA, of Kentucky, and Peter Huggard JP, EdD, MEd, MPH, of New Zealand.
