Profile of a leader: Scharley Phoebe (Wright) Brown.

This brief article profiles Charlotte (Scharley) Wright Brown, a leader in registration for nurses in British Columbia, founding member and first president of the Graduate Nurses Association of B.C. (later the Registered Nurses Association of B.C.), and third president of the Canadian National Association for Trained Nurses (later the Canadian Nurses Association). She and a small, dedicated executive group led the fight for registration for nurses from 1912 to 1918, and she helped establish the national organization on a strong and purposeful footing. Despite her major contributions, few records have been kept about this extraordinary nursing leader.

The write time.

For nurse leaders, professional writing is essential for career development. Writing, especially writing for publication in a peer-reviewed professional journal, establishes you as a qualified and respected authority in your field and increases your reputation both within and outside your agency. As well, professional writing by nurse leaders contributes to the advancement of the nursing discipline and provides a service to the public. Even more importantly, professional writing can be a stimulating, challenging, creative outlet and allow for personal growth and development. Many nurse leaders, however, find writing a time-consuming and, sometimes, difficult chore, and procrastinate. This article provides some timely tips to help you focus more effectively on professional writing.
