Nuggets for January 7

Happy New Year, all! Welcome to the very first edition of Nuggets for the new year.

Lots and lots of goodies out there on the 'net and in the blogosphere for your enjoyment. If you're snowed in and at work, like me, take a break, take a load off and enjoy a moment to yourself, 'cause that shift may last a LOOOONG time if relief doesn't get there!

More new year's resolution stuff

Here are a few goodies I've run into on this front, if you're up to a change:
How to keep your new year's resolutions (from Time Magazine)
Swissballs - info on one balance ball maker
Thinking of going to graduate school? Check out this article, if you're thinking about the humanities: Just Don't Go. (from the Chronicle of Higher Education)

Nursing, technology, etc.

It's in the news all the time...here are some interesting items recently.

Nursing: we take care of the whole family as our patients, including some unusual family members: Nurses take care of man's seeing eye dog (from the Lincoln, NE Journal Star)

Technology: The merger of these two health record systems may be a noted as a major accomplishment one of these days: VA, Kaiser to share health records (from Sign On San Diego)

Love story: Yes, it's not necessarily nursing-related, but it is a good story nevertheless, so go ahead and read it. Could I forgive him one last time? (from the NY Times)
