Although I've been blogging for years about nursing, healthcare, and medicine at my own blog, Digital Doorway, I enjoy blogging here on Nurse LinkUp and am looking for other NLU members to join the blogging world.

 Over the years, I 've mentored several new nurse bloggers, and if you have any inkling to start writing about your experiences as a nurse, please feel free to email me and I'd be happy to walk you through starting a blog and connecting with nurse bloggers in the wider "blogosphere". 

Speaking of which , there's a great list of nurse bloggers in the "Links" section of Nurse LinkUp if you're curious to begin exploring some of the best nurse blogs being published on the Internet today.

A blog post over at The Happy Hospitalist ---a popular medical blog by an anonymous doctor---has spawned a somewhat heated and contentious debate by individuals commenting on the post.

What I gather most from the post was that said doctor blogger was trying to convey his appreciation of the magnitude and complexity of nurses' work while also lamenting the ballooning costs of healthcare in the United States. Unfortunately, some readers seem to have taken offense to his descriptions of "needy patients", and his mention that obese patients require many hands on deck for transfers was taken as offensive and inappropriate.

Perhaps I'm naive, but I still can't find anything particularly offensive about the post. Rather, it seems realistic and, in the end, generally compassionate.

If you can, please pay a visit, read the post (and also the comments below) and see what you think.
