Happy one year anniversary to Reality Rounds! A one year anniversary should be celebrated with paper, ironically, since this blog is written on a computer. So I have decided to write my blog on paper from now on.
I have no idea what direction this blog will take in 2010. I had no idea what the direction this blog would take in 2009. It started out as a nursing blog with my commentary on medical stories in the media. It seems to have taking a turn as more of a blog on birth and neonatal issues, which is fine because I seem to talk about these issues constantly in my real life. But what the hell is the point of my blog? I have no clue!
One day I would like this blog to mean something. I would love it to help people in some way. I would love to come out of anonymity, and share my knowledge of neonatal issues and nursing as an open forum. I feel there are a lot of voices that need to be heard regarding long-term issues with prematurity, issues of women’s rights in childbirth and health, and the role of nurses as health care providers. I would ultimately like this blog to not be so much my opinions of women’s and children’s health issues, but a forum for others’. So we will see.
Thanks to everyone for reading and commenting. I have learned so much from the comments and from other blogs! I have even gotten to meet some of my favorite bloggers in person (Science and Sensibility, Stand and Deliver, Mom’s Tinfoil Hat) . Too cool (waves). I would also like to give a shout out to the blogs who have supported me and sent me the most traffic. Without further ado, and in no particular order:
*Now go give them a click or two. They are wonderful women writers (and blogs are predominantly written by men, by the way), so let’s give them some lovin’.
