Introduction
This is a story, so a good place to start is at the beginning. Yet it isn’t easy to pinpoint just when that beginning was. Projects like Nursing Praxis represent the fulfilment of a dream, and who can say where a dream begins? We could say that the reality began on the night of 3 June 1985 when a group of women meeting in Palmerston North resolved that there would be a journal, and that the first issue would appear in November of that year.
