Blogging - getting started

This morning I opened the latest Medscape Newsletter and clicked on a link to an article about Kim who hosts "Emergiblog". As I read the articleI started thinking about nurses and blogging. A colleague of mine, who has a blog called 'nursereflections' is one of very few nurses I know of who do blog. I read her blog quickly this morning and was impressed by the depth of reflection evident in what she writes.
A a nurse educator I am constantly disheartened by the response of nurses to the suggestion that they reflect on their practice and learn from this so that they can improve and continue to grow professionally and, hopefully, personally. So when I read nursereflections and the article about Kim I was encouraged.
This is a short post as I have to get back to work. But I thought that setting up my own blog would be a good way of getting in touch with other nurse educators, or those who aren't educators, and sharing reflections about our work and ourselves. who knows?? It may help us grow too.
