A LETTER TO YOU

'Many of our Nursing in Virginia readers have corresponded and we’ve really enjoyed their e-mails. While the majority are sending in e-mail and snail-mail address changes, many others have sent suggestions for content, news briefs and shared some great articles and recipes. We love it!

Our editing and online teams are planning to change our NursinginVa.com website later this year to offer readers more regularly-changing features, columns and health and fitness information. We want our lifestyle-oriented magazine to be of particular interest to our audience  -- registered nurses. 

After last month’s issue, Dr. Kereen Mullenbach, RN, PhD, who is an assistant professor at Radford University, sent us an article she’s written about medical identify theft – a must read for everyone. One nurse called about her friend, who had made the highest score on a national test for occupational nurses. When we talked to her friend, she told us that the test had four components and another nurse from Virginia has also been the highest scorer on another part.

Now a request:  How about sending us a 75-100-word e-mail or letter describing “My Most Memorable Patient."  We’d like to run your responses to this question in our September issue, so please write us soon.
Keep the ideas coming about your peers – we love to hear about special accomplishments, fun hobbies and events of interest to nurses.
