Editor’s Pick: At the AJN Off the Charts blog, Juliana Paradisi pens a fantastic post on privacy, both personal and for patients, in Nurses, Hospitals and Social Media: It Depends What Business You’re In.
Oh, SNAP! The Muse, RN, gives a new meaning to “left” and “right” in her post RNs…Skilled or Unskilled. Choose your path, my colleagues, there is no room for compromise in this debate.
Meet new blogger and first time Change of Shift contributor Andrea, author of journeytothefarm.com. Andrea is an OB nurse who traded suburbia for life on the farm and has penned a beautiful post on nursing and The Cycle of Life. Welcome to the blogosphere, Andrea, and welcome to Change of Shift!

Do people hear what we say or do they “hear what they see”? How much does the image we present affect the advice we give our patients? IsntSheLovlei wonders just that in? Do As I Say Not As I Do? posted at The Dog Ate My Care Plan….
I found this post at EDNurseasauras, Still in the Trenches. “TyRANTasauras Regina” hits it out of the park in A Comment on Drug Seeking Behavior. This is how we know. This. Is. It. Exactly.
Our paychecks got a little larger recently and Dr. Dean at The Millionaire Nurse Blog has a great idea on where that “found” money should go. See a Painless Way To Increase Your Retirement Savings. I made the call!

Just curious if you got my submission for this edition, entitled “Emergency New Years.” I got a receipt that it had been sent. Perhaps it was just overlooked.

Kim! There’s so many changes happening with your blog! Congrats
Just thought I’d mention this contest that’s going on for nurses – It’s called the “Scrubinator Photo contest” and you take a picture of yourself in your scrubs and send it to MediSmartQS@gmail.com with the chance to win $250 to Scrubs & Beyond! I think your readers would definitely like it
