And I really do listen, or read, as needed.
I'd like to thank all of you out there who weighed in on your various sites. I'm all for recognition, so here goes... in no particular order with any additional comments following each listing.
Aspen University said on its page "Fifteen nursing blogs you should be reading"
Rehab RN
By a nurse “down on the farm,” this is a fun and snarky blog.
Snarky? Yes, this is true.
Qi Exam Prep says RehabRN is one of the 25 best nursing blogs. (Thanks!)
#12 RehabRN
Focused on working in rehab, this blog is fresh and well written. It
makes you both laugh and wince at what patients are up to as they
recover, and wonder to some degree how the author does it. It's
original and clever.
How do I do it? Very carefully (with a grin, too, or grimace, depending on the situation). It's all about the presentation. I'm still working on that poker face, but I do blank, confusing stares really well. (I can confuse lots of folks).
Online LPN to RN says this blog is one of 50 nursing blogs you should be reading.
RehabRN: RN
“living down on the farm with Dahey, Bubba, WildDog and other wild
animals, working at the Hotel Rehab to pay the bills and get material
for this blog and for my standup comedy routine.”
Wow! Thanks. Yes, one day, I will have a standup routine. I have enough potty jokes from the Hotel. (bad pun)
Finally, AJN (the American Journal of Nursing) does its professional best not to endorse one specific blogger, but hey, I made the list. Here's their criteria below:
We don’t necessarily endorse the opinions or ideas of every nurse
blogger out there, but do try to give you an idea of the range of
nursing blogs, and to semiregularly update this list to weed out those
that are no longer being updated and add newcomers you might be
interested in. The list is arranged alphabetically, not in order of
quality or ”klout.” Please send correspondence and new blog suggestions
to this address: nursingblog@wolterskluwer.com
One of their recent comments on bloggers listed mentioned: "We are subjective about who we choose, but generally look for blogs
that still update on a regular basis, that are civil, that aren’t run by
unspecified corporate entities aggregating online education options for
nurses, and that do more than simply complain about unpleasant patients
(though of course there’s a place for this!)."
To one and all, my thanks. Hope you enjoy the stories, comments and even the complaints you find here. It's just a snapshot of my little world.
More to come...
