Hello to all nurses and those who love nursing and care about the nurses in their lives!

What a busy time of year. I love spring. Since I live in the desert of Arizona, the dramatic changes of spring are not evident as they are in the northern states, but it is still a time of newness and feeling of rebirth! The days are warming up, students are getting anxious to graduate, and many nursing students are preparing for their NCLEX exam to earn those valued initials of LPN or RN, after the many months and years of study and hard work. To each of you graduating and preparing to take your exam, congratulations and I welcome you to the wonderful profession of Nursing!

Here's the latest article from the Nursing site at BellaOnline.com.
