Nurses and Bloggers and Carnivals, Oh My!

As an avid supporter of nurses and nurse bloggers, I'd like to draw your attention to a new nursing blog carnival known as Change of Shift, which has been lovingly created by Kim at Emergiblog. Kim works as an ER nurse in the San Fransisco Bay Area and uses humor and real life stories to entertain and educate. Change of Shift is not meant to compete with Grand Rounds, that most prestigious of medical blogging carnivals to which docs, residents, patients, nurses, EMTs, and other individuals contribute on a weekly basis, including yours truly. Rather, it is a blog carnival meant to showcase nurses, nursing, and others' experiences of such. Kim is inviting anyone with anyone to say about nurses or nursing to contribute, whether it be humor, stories, accolades, or constructive criticism. I fully intend to participate (and host occasionally) and thank Kim heartily for her efforts.
