Happy National Nurses Week! As we approach the celebration this year, I’d like to take some time to share all that we have coming up for the week and into the rest of the month. There’s a lot of buzz online about what a Nurses Week gift should look like (Read: Not another water bottle. How about safe staffing?) As a leading web resource for nurses, we’d like to do our part to create a culture of safety this Nurses Week by providing you with up-to-date resources based on the latest evidence and reviewed by our peers. Be sure to check out all of our Nurses Week plans and take advantage of CE collections, free articles, eBook offers, and some opportunities for fun!
 
I’m excited to share that right here on our blog, we have a wonderful series of posts from nurse experts who’ve shared their insights and knowledge. I’ve enjoyed working with these colleagues – they’ve inspired me and taught me so much as we put together this series. I think you’ll enjoy it! 

Here’s what’s ahead:

• Safety in the Healthcare Workplace: How Safe Do You Feel?  
  Myrna B. Schnur, RN, MSN
