National Nurses Week

NEW! In Our Own Words: Medscape Nurses
We asked Medscape's nurse readers to tell us what they do as nurses and why. And did they ever tell us! We heard from well over 600 nurses in almost every nursing specialty imaginable. Our nurse readers surely exemplify the theme of this year's Nurses Week, Many Roles, One Profession. We've posted a selection of these responses in our new blog, In Our Own Words: Medscape Nurses. Please check it out and add your comments as well.
