Abstract

It is an extraordinary honour to write this editorial marking the 50th anniversary of the Journal of Advanced Nursing (JAN). This milestone is not only a moment of celebration for the journal, but also for the nursing profession itself, for all that nurses have achieved, all that has changed, and all that we continue to strive toward.

In planning this special 50th anniversary issue, the JAN team set out to honour the diversity and vitality of the global nursing community. We invited nurses from across the world, representing different regions, settings and stages of career, to share their perspectives on two key questions: what have been the most significant developments in your area of nursing practice over the past fifty years? and what do you see as the major challenges and opportunities in your field for the next fifty years?
