The goal of this online journal is to share stories about nursing.  The impact of nursing in our community is shared through encounters with clients on a daily basis.  Nurses tell these stories to give encouragement and support to their colleagues in a variety of health care settings.  This online journal presents stories about nursing from novice to expert nurses.  A new story will be published twice monthly, one at the beginning of the month and one at mid-month.
