Erica Sciarra, Ph.D., DNP, APN, A-GNP-C, CNE, assistant professor in the Department of Nursing, was recently appointed to the editorial board of Teaching and Learning in Nursing, an academic journal published by Elsevier. The journal plays a vital role in advancing evidence-based practices in nursing education.

Sciarra's role on the board includes conducting rigorous, constructive reviews of manuscripts to inform publication decisions, attending editorial board meetings to discuss key issues and initiatives, and collaborating with the editor to implement the annual editorial plan. Editorial board members are appointed by the board of directors of the Organization for Associate Degree Nursing (OADN) following a review of their scholarly contributions to the field of nursing.

"I look forward to collaborating with colleagues, engaging in meaningful scholarly work, and promoting innovative teaching and learning strategies that prepare practice-ready nurses," Sciarra said.

Teaching and Learning in Nursing is the official journal of the OADN. The journal is dedicated to the advancement of associate degree nursing education and practice and promotes collaboration in charting the future of health care education and delivery. The organization publishes studies about nursing students and faculty who teach in undergraduate programs.
