* In "Has the Future of Nursing Report Made a Difference?" AJN editor-in-chief Shawn Kennedy shares insight on how the implementation of recommendations from the 2010 report The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health has affected the nursing profession (http://wp.me/prthD-5qH).

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ON TWITTER, FACEBOOK, AND OUR BLOG
"I spend more time caring for EHRs [electronic health records] than for patients." "I love that there is a shift toward a more interdisciplinary approach within hospitals now. Yes, we nurses help residents/interns a lot more than we get credit for, but I also like to keep in mind how much I've learned from others around me." "When I had surgery in one of the best hospitals in the country, I noticed how empty the floors were-no one was walking. Back in the day, there used to be traffic jams in the hall of a surgical unit!"
