It’s COMING….  {Change of Shift}

Today at Nurse Ratched's, Change of Shift V3.8 went up. You know what that means, don't you? Time to go read the rants and raves, stories and sharings of some of the best nurse bloggers* on the 'net. Oh yes, and time to start thinking about the next Change of Shift which is going to be HERE!

it's blog carnival time!!

 

 

I am totally honored to be hosting our profession's blog carnival on my little site at the end of the month. It goes live October 30th.

*Whether or not you're a nurse, you can submit. All stories should have at least something to do with nursing though. Are you a patient? Someone who dreams of being a nurse? Are you a new nurse, an old "experienced" nurse ;-) or somewhere in between? Anything goes, just keep it along the lines of NURSING.

For those who may not know, here's the very simple rules (stole this from Kim's site, Emergiblog!)

*rules*

• All submissions will be posted, including rants and criticism. We’re nurses, we can take it.


• If you post to Grand Rounds [the medical blog carnival] that week, the submission to Change of Shift must be a different post.


• Change of Shift is not competing with Grand Rounds, it is meant to be a specific niche for and about nurses that welcomes any and all contributors with a story or experience as or with nurses.


• All known HIPAA privacy rules apply.


• If you are blogging about your own experience as a patient, make sure your story does not reveal any information about other patients you came into contact with during your stay/visit/experience.


• If you are blogging about a relative, be sure to get their permission to do so, if possible.


• All submissions must be in by 5:00 pm on the Wednesday before the “carnival” is posted. [Which means I need your submissions by 5pm EST on Wednesday, October 29th]


• Be sure to put “Change of Shift” in the subject line so the host doesn’t miss it or if it accidentally gets puts it in the “bulk” folder, the host will find it.


• Posts containing rude or foul language or inappropriate material for general consumption (you know what I mean) will be purged.


• The “carnival” will be posted on Thursdays so as not to interfere with Grand Rounds.

And that's really all there is to it!! So spread the word and get those posts in!
