Dear Colleague,
 I tend to think of the start of a new year as a clean slate to be filled in with positive changes. Well, at least that's always the plan! Yet again, I'm faced with the recurring resolutions of eating better and exercising more, but I will strive to fulfill them this year as well as a few new resolutions, such as returning to the clinical setting and maybe looking into going back to school.
In the first enews issue of each year, I like to share articles to help us assess our career goals and make a plan to obtain them, or at least get started. I do believe that professional development is important to a rewarding work life and fortunately the authors and editors of our journals have supplied wonderful resources to help us on our journey! I encourage you to spend some time reading the articles in our More Resources collection.
Wishing you all a wonderful 2013!
Sincerely,
Lisa Bonsall, MSN, RN, CRNP
Clinical Editor
