…is being hosted this week by Braden at 20 Out of 10 and it has to be one of the most comprehensive look at the nursing blogosphere I’ve seen.
Braden requested, and actually went looking for, posts that showcased the diverse job opportunities available to professional registered nurses.
Let’s just say he was VERY thorough!
Do check out this edition - it’s a keeper! And many,many thanks to Braden for putting it together and hosting for Change of Shift this week!
********************
I will be taking over hosting duties for the July 10th edition of Change of Shift as it begins it’s third year!
And I have something unusual planned.
I’d like all nurse bloggers to go back, and some of us have to WAAAAAY back, to our very first post…
…and that’s what I want you to submit!
Along with your intitial foray into blogging, send some information on why you started blogging to begin with and how you feel you have grown as a blogger. Just a short bit of info I can use to introduce the post.
Now I’ve been blogging for almost three full years, and I KNOW some of y’all were blogging long before me.
So, new blogger, old blogger, it doesn’t matter. If you are a nurse, Iet’s go back to when you started blogging!
Submit to me with the contact button up top or use Blog Carnival.

What does this man, Jeff Scott Soto, have to do with this nursing blog?
Well, today he has everything to do with it!
Tomorrow I’ll be seeing him at the Independent in San Francisco only to fly to Burbank on Saturday to see him at Palladinos in Tarzana.
Hey, every now and then I get to live the rock-groupie dream and this is one of those times.
So, the Saint of Scheduling Miracles for my shift managed to arrange a full eight days off for me, with my JSS tour smack in the middle of it!
This means that I have a ton of time to update my links and do some Emergiblog housekeeping!
So, if I don’t have you linked or you have a new web address, shoot me an email.
I’m also working on my Change of Shift email list, so if you aren’t on that and want to be, let me know.
As for regular housekeeping, well, let’s just say I’m using avoidance behavior by sitting here at Border’s in a nice, cushy chair with a cinnamon latte.
Rock goddesses don’t clean house!
With any luck I’ll have a new photo of Jeff and I when I get back!
(Apparently the word has gotten around Starbucks that the more comfortable the chair, the longer the person sits in it. Every one of “my” Starbucks has replaced their plush chairs with hard-cushioned torture seats. A girl’s gotta hit a Borders for a decent blogging chair!)
********************
Emergiblog has been nominated in the 2008 Blogger’s Choice Awards!
How do I know this? I nominated it!
Okay, I got the idea from my blogging colleague over at The Nurse Practitioner’s Place - gotta give credit where it is due!
You can vote here. You can even nominate your own blog like I did!
Just click on “Comment and Vote” and then do a search for “Emergiblog”.
There are about a bazillion blogs nominated, but I would appreciate any votes you might want to send my way. (And I get to put this cool badge on the blog, too!)

Oh my…I’m almost speechless!
This is the new iPhone. See those buttons? If you go to Shrink Rap for this week’s edition of Grand Rounds, you will find that everyone of those buttons is attached to a post!
The buttons actually work!
This is like Nirvana if you are an Apple geek like I am.
Not that I plan to get this new edition of the wonderful invention known as the iPhone….
I’m quite happy with the one I received as a gift from my “web guy”, Shane! The scream that emanated when I opened the box registered on the Richter scale!
Yep! I’m the proud owner of a beautiful iPhone and I can watch rock videos whenever and wherever I want!
Oh, and make a phone call, or two….
******************************
