The Journal of School Nursing (JOSN) and SAGE Publications present two writing awards annually to promote publications that contribute to school nursing practice. The Executive Editor of The Journal and the Editorial Advisory Board and Editorial Panel select the award recipients. Papers published in the February through December issues of the journal are eligible for the award.
Each recipient receives $500 and free registration to the National Association of School Nurses Annual Meeting. At the meeting, the awardees are recognized for their achievement. Acceptance in a peer-reviewed journal is a notable accomplishment and the awards bestow further recognition for exceptional writing.
The JOSN-SAGE Scholarly Writing Award recognizes excellence in writing and contributions to school nursing. The winning manuscript contributes to school nursing by providing research results, evidence for practice or policy development or a major review of research literature that significantly influences school health policy, improves school nursing practice, or contributes to school health administration and collaboration.
Jahun Kim, PhD, RN was the winner of the 2021 JOSN-SAGE Scholarly Writing Award for her publication with Elaine Walsh, Kenneth Pike and Elaine Thompson in the JOSN August 2020 issue titled Cyberbullying and Victimization and Youth Suicide Risk: The Buffering Effects of School Connectedness. Dr. Kim is an assistant professor in the College of Nursing at Seattle University. She is a nurse-scholar dedicated to promoting adolescent mental health. She earned her PhD in nursing at the University of Washington, with focus of longitudinal changes of parent and child relationships and how these changes impact adolescent mental health. After her doctoral program, she joined the faculty at Seattle University and became a researcher at the Developmental Pathways Project at the University of Washington. The Developmental Pathways Project addresses the prevalence of emotional and behavioral problems among school-aged children and adolescents. The project also increases understanding of the developmental processes that cause emotional and behavioral problems. The Developmental Pathways Program had a strong collaboration with the Seattle Public Schools, which provided the foundation for the research program. Dr. Kim’s program of research has evolved into the association between adolescent sleep and mental health issues and how they change over time, particularly, the influence of sleep disturbances on depression and self-harm behaviors including suicide ideation and attempts in the context of family and school.
Dr. Kim was born and raised in South Korea and she completed her BSN program and Master’s of Science in Nursing at Seoul National University in Seoul. She finished the postdoctoral Family Psychiatric Health Nurse Practitioner certificate program at Seattle University in June 2021. She lives in Seattle with her two children and husband. She enjoys trail walking, practicing yoga, and cooking for her family.
Shoshanna Aronowitz, PhD, MSHP, FNP-BC is the winner of the 2022 Journal of School Nursing (JOSN)/ SAGE Scholarly Writing Award for the publication A Mixed-Studies Review of the School-to-Prison Pipeline and a Call to Action for School Nurses with co-authors BoRam Kim and Teri Aronowitz. The article was published in the February 2021 issue of the journal. Dr. Aronowitz is a family nurse practitioner, community-engaged health services researcher, and assistant professor in the Department of Family and Community Health at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing. Her research examines innovative delivery models to promote equitable access to substance use treatment and harm reduction services, as well as racial disparities in pain management in the context of the opioid overdose crisis. She received her bachelor’s degree from McGill University, her master’s in nursing from the University of Vermont, her PhD from the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, her master’s in health policy from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and completed her postdoctoral fellowship at the National Clinician Scholars Program University of Pennsylvania site. She provides substance use disorder treatment at Prevention Point Philadelphia and Ophelia Health. In addition, she is a member of SOL Collective, a grassroots harm reduction organization located in Philadelphia.
The JOSN-SAGE First Publication Award recognizes writing excellence of a first-time school nurse author. Manuscripts are judged based on their contribution to thought and or practice in school nursing and the form and writing clarity of the submission. Unfortunately, few manuscripts authored by school nurses were submitted to the journal for publication in the issues eligible for consideration. The Journal of School Nursing has issued a Call for Practice manuscripts (Sage, 2022) to increase submissions authored by school nurses and school nurse change leaders. We look forward to awarding the JOSN-SAGE First Publication Award in 2023.
