Change of Season at Change of Shift!

Change of Shift is now up over at NurseLinkUp, hosted by our old friend Keith of Digital Doorway!

The autumn theme has made me want to go get a Pumpkin Spice Latte. Looks like Zippy and I will be making a trip this afternoon!

Many thanks to Keith for hosting. The next CoS is back at Nurse Ratched’s Place , so you can send your submissions to “motherjones at yahoo dot com”.

*******************

There is a very promising author who has placed their book in installment form online (no, it’s not me!).

I have known this author for many years.

This book is five years in the making, and has already won one award.

It is called The Shadow of the East.

The first installment: The Beginning of the End.

Please check it out. I’m sure the author would appreciate any feedback you might have.

It isn’t a nursing book, but I promised the author I would give it a mention here on Emergiblog.

On a totally unrelated note: did you know Starbucks now has….get this…Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate!

Holy freaking cow!

I’m almost afraid to try it!

What’s next, French Roast with 0.9% NS?

I found this photo on the Gears and Widgets site.

I’d love to give credit for whoever put this photo together, because it just about sums up my need love for Starbucks.

Of course, I’d leave room for cream.

BlogWorldExpo09 Medblogger Poll Is Up and Running!

Yeah, it’s finally up!

The list of topics for BlogWorld09 is up!

I voted already! Go ahead and vote now - choose eight topics you would like to see.

How to vote:

1. Click on “Comment” at the bottom of the poll.

2. Click on the “Vote” tab. You should then be able to pick your eight topics.

Grand Rounds is up this week over at Jeffrey’s blog, Monash Medical Student.

The theme is “Medicine and War”.

Somber theme, excellent submissions.

Definitely worth checking out.

Over a latte, of course!

Zippy Greets Kim!

Hey! Zippy here!

Kim finally came home! She was on a trip when I arrived, how rude but that’s okay!

I’m here at an undisclosed location in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Yeah, I was already in San Francisco, but Kim says we’re just going to hang out.

I need some rest after my Hawaiian adventure. In fact, I think I still have sand in my claws!

I wonder where Kim will take me!
