WHAT WE'RE BLOGGING ABOUT
* Where does being a mother end and a nurse begin? Read "Blind Spot-At the Intersection of Mother and Nurse" by Marcy Phipps (http://wp.me/prthD-2kG) for an interesting take on the topic.
* Stay abreast on politics that affect nursing, with "Federal Budget Battles Begin-Health Professions Education at Stake," by editor-in-chief Shawn Kennedy (http://wp.me/prthD-2kv).
* Nurses are taking to the picket lines again. To find out why, read "Bad Economy Breeds a New Era of Discontent Among Nurses," by editor-in-chief Shawn Kennedy (http://wp.me/prthD-2ju).
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ON FACEBOOK AND OUR BLOG
"Unsafe staffing by hospitals has reduced the role of a professional nurse to that of a task-oriented, time management nightmare." "We must act to reduce the vulnerability of communities to future climate-related disasters through sustainable health development programs." "I would never want my profession confused with the job of a physician; let them keep the doctor title, I'll keep the respect and trust my patients have in me because I am their Nurse."
