As PharmMom is a retired nurse and some of my favorite health sciences students have been nurses, it is always my pleasure to promote Kim at Emergiblog. It's always worth a trip over if for nothing other than her vintage nursing and pharmaceutical advertisements.
The second issue of her newly-established nursing blog carnival, Change of Shift, is now live. Check it out for some fresh bloggy goodness of the nursing profession.
Navelgazing Midwife puts up a nice but somewhat chilling narrative on the continued shortage of labor and delivery services in New Orleans. Thanks for being there.

Kim is my favourite nurse blogger.
I love the name "Navelgazing Midwife"! Yet, during the course of her work, shouldn't she be gazing a little lower than thet navel?

Keep up the great blogging!
