WHAT WE'RE BLOGGING ABOUT

 

* "I have developed a few tricks so I don't let dying patients down during the moments they need me most," says oncology nurse navigator Julianna Paradisi in "An Oncology Nurse's Heart: Helping Dying Patients Find Their Own Paths Home" (http://wp.me/prthD-5fo).

 

* AJN editor-in-chief Shawn Kennedy reviews New York Times and AJN columnist Theresa Brown's new book, The Shift: One Nurse, Twelve Hours, Four Patients' Lives, in "Working a Shift with Theresa Brown" (http://wp.me/prthD-5f2).

 

* Amy M. Collins, AJN managing editor, reflects on what she learned from the nurses during their "mother-child huddle"-and on the odd use of football terminology to describe this meeting-in "The Huddle: A New Mother's Experience of Discharge Planning" (http://wp.me/prthD-5dV).

 

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ON TWITTER, FACEBOOK, AND OUR BLOG

"Nursing should be thought of, and acted upon, as real team work." "Reflection is a huge part of my life and my career choice." "Let nurses speak the language of the particular patient. As a nurse I have always spoken in terms the patient understands." "We are caring for people, not numbers."
