While STTI Publishing focuses on professional and scholarly titles, it’s fair to say that our inspirational books for nurses are very popular. So, last year, when someone presented me with a stack of flyers and e-mails submitted by members over the past few years at conferences and via Reflections on Nursing Leadership (RNL), it wasn’t hard to envision what we could do with them. Inspired by an article titled “You’ll know you’re a nurse when ...,” published in RNL in 2005, we had asked members to complete that sentence. Paired with some beautiful photos and smart design work, we ended up with a sharp little gift book that our sales team loves. Which made us wonder what was next.
Partnering with our enthusiastic IT team, we’ve launched militarynursebook.org. Targeted to active duty, retired and reserve military nurses, the website was created specifically to ask these nurses what serving in the military means to them. We’ve asked them to complete the phrase: You’ll know you’re a military nurse when ...
The first few posts are so good, I get goodbumps reading them! We’re working with the top nurses in the U.S. Army, Air Force and Navy to get the word out but need your help, too. Please forward the link, http://www.militarynursebook.org/, to nurses you know who are serving, or have served, and ask them to share their stories with us. The site has the potential to become a community for U.S. military nurses serving around the world. And yes, some stories will be selected for our next book! Look for it in Fall 2010.
