Get out the Hammer, Nails, and Paint! I'm renovating!
I have decided to refocus my blog into a strictly (or perhaps 90%) medical/nursing blog. While I will still update regarding my personal life, those posts will be few and far between.
Here’s what I want my blog to look like:
1. Stories from the front lines! I want to share stories of my triumphs and failures from my life as a Registered Nurse.
2. Reaction to news articles
3. Sharing nursing/medical journals that I have found and read.
4. Links to nursing/medical blogs, nursing websites.
In general, I want to create a professional themed environment with an meta-theme of nursing advocacy.
I apologize, but I will be removing personal links from my sidebar and specifically listing nursing blogs etc. (see above). I still love you all and will read your blogs every day, but it just doesn’t fit into my theme.
The reason I am doing this is because blogging about my personal life just doesn’t work for me anymore. When I first started blogging many years ago, it was an anonymous world. I could share my deepest secrets. Now, the blogging world is full of friends/coworkers, and I just don’t find myself interested in sharing my secrets (meaning…things I wouldn’t tell you in real life…which, to be honest, isn’t much). I am bored of just making superficial lists of what I have been doing (which isn’t much).
On top of that, I an a nursing geek. I want an outlet for my love of research. I want a place where I can shed a positive light on this profession I love. I also want a place where I can show that nursing education does not end when school does!
OK, I made this sounds way less casual than it will be. We’ll see what shape this place is molded into. For now, you will see the format/look change frequently as I seek a website I’m happy with. If you have any suggestions or feedback, PLEASE send it my way!
Let the construction begin!

[...] “Get out the Hammer, Nails, and Paint! I’m renovating!” At a time when medical bloggers are leaving in droves, (Labor Nurse appears to be the latest casualty), Nurse Sean (dot) com has decided to devote his blog entirely to medical/nursing issues. We applaud you Nurse Sean! I’ve noticed quite a few bloggers splitting their blogs in two – one professional and one personal. I think this is a very wise thing to do. Nursa Minor has also decided to do the same. Nursing News of the Day: [...]

Excellent idea, Sean! I also love the black and white photo of the nurse in statue.
