WHAT WE'RE BLOGGING ABOUT

"Every nurse has great stories to tell-about facing seemingly insurmountable tasks and taking them foothold by foothold," writes Alice Facente in her blog post "What Does Rappelling Down a Canyon Wall Have to Do with Nursing?" in which she compares an exhilarating hike to her 30 years in the nursing profession. Also check out "A Note on the Life Cycle of Blogs," by senior editor Jacob Molyneux, for an interesting take on the "waxing and waning" of nursing blogs.

WHAT YOU'RE SAYING BACK

"I see the consequences of antibiotic resistance on my unit all the time." "I believe we all grow by pushing past the fears that may hold us back in many situations." "In general, nurses have embraced newer technology, but I often see 'holdouts' in different areas of the hospital." "Sure there are a lot of stories, but my favorite part about blogs is seeing growth."
