I'm your host Jamie Davis and I'd like to welcome everybody to the program this week. We have a lot of great stuff coming up for you in this episode including some great news items that have to do with healthcare and nursing and we'll also be taking a look at the treatment of West Nile Virus as a follow-up to last week's interview segment on the disease (http://www.nursingshow.com/2012/09/07/west-nile-virus-interview/). I will remind you to head over and check out all the additional resource links and information you'll find over at the Nursing Show website at NursingShow.com (http://nursingshow.com).

I love to hear from each and every one of you and I hope you'll take the opportunity to touch base. I try to respond to every single e-mail that comes in so please keep those e-mails coming. Speaking of e-mails, I got an e-mail from Kristie Aylett (http://twitter.com/kristk). She is working with PR for the American Association for Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) (http://aacn.org). I've been at their conference in the past. She wanted to let me know that there are three nursing impact grants available that are being put out by the AACN. I have an article posted about that here. You can also head over to the AACN website AACN.org/grants for details on how to apply (http://aacn.org/grants) to get access to these grants up to $50,000 in value. This is a great opportunity if you're looking for a way to find out the best opportunity to change outcomes in your system. I appreciate Kristie putting me in touch with this. Information and application must be turned in by November 1, 2012, so you want to jump on that if you're interested. Again, that information is available at AACN.org/grants. If you want you back and hear from the Nursing Show, send those e-mails in to NursingShow@Gmail.com (mailto:nursingshow@gmail.com). I would love to hear from you and I respond back to every e-mail that comes in. Let's go ahead and in a sec get into the news.
