Ever wonder what (if anything) the academics are saying about nurse bloggers?

Shloman discusses blogs in general, how to find them, [...]

I just couldn’t resist sharing this with you…one more keyword search that turned up pixelrn.com…
“my dog is tachycardic”
This one turned up on a comcast web search. Part of me is laughing but part of me is feeling terrible that there’s a tachycardic dog out there and his owner doesn’t know what to do…

One of my past career attempts was in web design. Back in the year 2001 I collaborated with some guys who were working on a start-up. Their business model? A web community. One of the guys had participated in the creation of neopets.com and he had made some substantial funds from selling this site after [...]

There, I’ve admitted it. I love it when google searches pull up my website. When I first began my nursing blog I wrote a post about a liver failure patient and I included the phrase “lactulose enema.” A while after the post was out I was exploring my blog stats and learned that if you [...]

The good news: post-bagel blood sugar = 103.
The bad news: I went hogwild and had stromboli + ginger ale for dinner.
Post dinner blood sugar? 153. Yikes. Okay, I am officially accepting my diagnosis of gestational diabetes. I will officially eat some crow. Crow is probably high in protein with low carbs, and therefore is better [...]

Actually, this is not what I had for breakfast; it’s just some sugar-free peeps hanging out in the morning sunshine.

An acquaintance who recently found out she was pregnant for the first time asked me for any advice I had to pass along.
I thought for a long moment and there was really just one thing I could come up with: NEVER EAT A BAGEL BEFORE YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE GLUCOSE CHALLENGE TEST.
