Journal of Emergency Nursing Inducted into Nursing Journal Hall of Fame

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. (June 23, 2025) – In addition to celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, the Journal of Emergency Nursing reached another significant milestone with its induction into the Nursing Journal Hall of Fame by the International Academy of Nursing Editors.

Since 1975, JEN has served as ENA’s peer-reviewed journal with an emphasis on original research and updates from the emergency nursing specialty that cover practice and professional issues. INANE selected the Journal for its 50 years of continuous publication and sustained contributions to nursing knowledge.

“JEN has grown from a small member-driven journal to be the premier global resource for emergency nurses in all roles and settings,” said Journal of Emergency Nursing Editor-in-Chief Anna Valdez, PhD, RN, PHN, CEN, CFRN, FAEN, FAADN. “I am honored to be able to represent the past and current editors who have contributed to JEN’s success.”

JEN is among 11 journals to be honored during this year’s INANE Annual Meeting in August. This year’s inductees are international in scope with specialty focuses ranging from critical care to oncology, with a collective 555 years of scholarly publication in nursing. In announcing its fifth hall of fame class, INANE noted the journals are “a cross-section of professional nursing practice, research, education and leadership” that “demonstrate depth in nursing excellence and scholarship through published literature.”

INANE was founded in 1982 as an all-volunteer organization whose members include editors, publishers and others involved in the dissemination of nursing knowledge through scholarly literature.

“The Journal has been an indispensable resource for emergency nurses and a cornerstone of ENA’s history, for a half-century,” said ENA President Ryan Oglesby, PhD, MHA, RN, CEN, CFRN, NEA-BC. “This major recognition validates the importance and undeniable value of the Journal to the emergency nursing specialty.”
