With Thanksgiving just a couple of days away now, the holiday season is upon us whether we’re ready or not. Wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving and the best of holidays yet to come!!

Adding Content to The Nursing Site
I have begun the tedious task of adding content to The Nursing Site from the old Nursing.About.com. I started with “How to Become a Nurse” articles and have a few others up as well. I estimate this is going to take a few weeks to get it done right so please bear with me, and if you’d like to know when it’s all done, please be sure to subscribe to the feed for this blog, and join the Forum. The links for these are in the sidebar. Many thanks to all of you who have written to encourage me!!!

Toy Recalls Continue
It’s overwhelming to think about the number of toys that have been recalled in the past few months mostly due to lead content and other safety concerns. Our local news station alerted us to this new Widget that updates with each new recall. (See the sidebar.) I hope it’s helpful to anyone with young children in the home or family. As the holiday buying season moves into high speed with “Black Friday” next week, it’s going to be increasingly difficult to know what to buy for children. Poor Santa really has his hands full this year!
