Thanks for the Recognition!!!
I am very honored to have The Everything New Nurse Book recently listed # 17 among 105 books on LPNtoBSNonline.org’s Ultimate Reading List for Nurses. There are 2 editions available now. Today I heard TheNursingSiteBlog was listed by TopMedicalAssistantSchools.com as one of the Top 14 Nursing Blogs of 2014. WOW!

Thanks so much for the recognition.
