Dear Colleague,

Thank you for another great year! It makes me very happy to connect with you and all the other nurses around the world and share clinical content, continuing education activities, professional development information, and so much more to help you provide the best nursing care and manage your nursing career. Highlights of 2012 for NursingCenter include the expansion of our eBooks, including the addition of more titles plus new availability on e-reader devices; new features and continued growth of our Skin Care Network and Evidence-Based Practice Network; new and updated Focus On collections; and, of course, getting to know you better from your emails, comments on our blog, and interactions on our social media pages.

Below you'll find the top 10 lists of CE and articles read on NursingCenter this year. It's neat to look back at the topics covered, learn what your colleagues have been reading, and take a look at any content that you may have missed.
