Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. All of the pink ribbons are meant to remind women everywhere to get a mammogram, and to learn and practice regular self-exams of their breasts. Getting to know your own body gives you the best advantage of finding an abnormality early. Early detection is a huge factor in the successful treatment of any cancer but especially breast cancer.

As nurses we need to set the example by doing. Schedule your mammogram today! Or remind your wife and other loved ones.

My first blog

Hello to my fellow peers!

This is my first Blog entry. People have asked me for a while why I do not start a blog of my own; frankly I didn't have the time. I have come to the realization that there is so much useful information that I come across in my daily life, and I need a way to share it with others. In many cases the ideas and information do not require much writing anyway. Blogging seems to make a lot of sense as an actual time saver for me, and I can still share my new knowledge with everyone. Thanks for reading and I hope all my time and effort helps (or at least entertains) you on many levels.
