Perks of letter writing

One of the aims of getting nurses to write more is making colleagues aware of what is going on in health care and sparking conversation and debate. Public venues, like blogs, can also tell you what your patients think about certain issues.  A recent letter to The New York Times by a nurse asked the paper’s health blog writer to talk about how to address elderly patients by name. Take a look at the dialog she generated here. Then think about the issues that are important to you in your practice, and start writing.
