NICU Parent Support Blog a Best Blog for Neonatal Nurses

I am pleased to announce that the NICU Parent Support Blog was named as one of the 50 Best Blogs for Neonatal Nurses. The distinction was awarded by NursingDegree.net, an online resource for nurses and nurses to be.

These 50 blogs were selected to help neonatal nurses with emotional, motivational, and informational support. The NICU Parent Support Blog is under their NICU section as a blog written specifically about the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. We are the only NICU blog included on the NICU list that is not written by a NICU nurse. For that distinction, I am doubly honored.

We were notified yesterday about the news.

We posted an article that we thought you and your readers might be interested in having a look at, "50 Best Blogs for Neonatal Nurses." I am happy to let you know that your site has been included in this list.

Thanks for your time!
