About Journal


Nursing, an exceptionally specialised profession that has persistently delivering the health care service to patients after the treatment and helps in patient recovery. Nursing is a responsibility of a public health, an application of concern and a legitimate perception.

Palliative Care is an end-of-life care where the serious illness affects the more than just a patient’s body. It treats and improves the quality of lives of the person’s family members along with a patient.

The application of together has shaped up this nursing journal. Nursing and Palliative Care is a peer-reviewed online journal providing an open platform to high-quality original research studies and reviews on nursing and palliative care that focus on baccalaureate and higher degree nursing education, educational research, and policy related to education and partnerships.

The nursing journal mission is to provide its readers a clinically relevant content in every issue and serve as a vehicle for professional nurses to improve the care of critically ill patients and their families. Nursing journal welcomes submission of original manuscripts describing investigations, advances, or observations from all specialties related to the care of critically ill patients. The main commitment of the nursing journal is to enhance the teaching-learning process, promote curriculum development, and stimulate creative innovation and research in nursing education.

This nursing journal aims to promote publications from expertise who are otherwise unable to access other journals. Most importantly, those from countries or regions that have few resources to improve higher degree nursing education which helps provide thorough coverage of timely topics and information that is extremely practical for daily, on-the-job use.

The nursing journal will feature original research, review papers, clinical studies, case reports, editorials, expert opinion and perspective papers, commentaries, and book reviews.

The nursing journal welcomes direct submissions from authors: Attach your word file with e-mail and send it to submissions@oatext.com alternatively to editor.npc@oatext.com
