Those Emergency Blues Prize for Writing � Those Emergency Blues

There are some talented nurse writers on this here blogosphere. Why not take the time to nominate yourself or another for this opportunity?

One of my favorite blogs, Those Emergency Blues, is hosting this:

Announcing my new award for the Best Writing from a Nurse Blogger in the preceding year.

My aim is simple: I want to encourage and recognize all the exceptional writing by nurse bloggers. I want us to tell our stories in a clear and forceful way.

Apart from the prestige (dubious), and a fancy-pants button for your website (yet to be designed), there arefabulous prizes:

1ST — $50 gift certificate from Amazon

2ND— a gift basket of smelly stuff from the artisans at Cree

3RD — the nurses’ friend: a travel mug.

Rules are simple:

1. Submissions must be written by a nurse. They may be on any topic or any length.
2. Submissions may be made by the author (strongly encouraged) or by anyone who sees a great blog post deserving recognition.
3. Deadline for submission is 2359 ET, 31 December 2010.
4. Winners will be announced in January 2011.

How to Submit a Blog Post: Submissions — I prefer a link to the original post — can be made to me at torontoemergencyrn (at) gmail (dot) com or left in the comments of this post.

This being a one horse operation, submissions will be evaluated by myself, and another judge.

I will occasionally post entries here — with the author’s permission, of course.

Please feel free to reTweet this post or copy it to your own blogs: I really want this disseminated as widely as possible through the Nursosphere!
