Day 2 of my back to the basics of blogging and not overthinking my blogs and I have to say that I have been pretty inspired by a seemingly unobtrusive tweet from Sam Sherrington (@SamSherrington) I can practically hear people saying – well what’s so inspirational about that tweet? And with the CNO Summit starting…
An Inspired December – Day 1
I have a confession to make – I have been really struggling with blogging over the past 6 months or so. It really is very difficult to produce a weekly blog, it takes time and head space .. and as I become increasingly busy with WeNurses and WeCommunities i found that blogging is a challenge…
#Revalidation or #RevalidationIsComing or #Rev ?
Oh wow it’s been a long time since I blogged! It’s not for want of topics, ideas or inspiration but merely due to the summer running away with me … I mean, seriously, how can it be October already?? Anyway I have to say that I have missed putting pen to paper (or fingers to…
