Dear Colleagues,

Happy New Year! I’ve been catching up on some journal reading through the holidays and thought I'd share some inspiring editorials from the talented writers, editors, and publishers at Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. While I'm always impressed by the clinical and professional content presented in our journals, I've really gotten a lot out of the more personal and insightful words of the staff. Thought I'd share them with you - I've listed my latest favorites in our More Resources box. Also included in the list is a recent article revealing how one hospital used candy to get staff excited about research. Enjoy!

	If The Shoe Fits...Don't Get Too Comfortable!
	Continuing Your Nursing Education
	The Timeline Of Our Lives
	A Closing Word: First Impressions
	Relationships
	Prevention—What Is Your Strategy?
	Professional Growth: Sweet steps to an active nursing research program
	Editorial: A New Year Brings New Opportunities

Wishing you a happy and healthy 2010!

Lisa Bonsall, MSN, RN, CRNP
Clinical Editor
