Vital Signs and Remedies for a Full Spectrum World

Dr. Len

For those of you interested in the world of cancer, check out Dr. Len’s Cancer Blog. The Dr. Len I am referring to is J. Leonard Lichtenfeld, MD, MACP – Deputy Chief Medical Officer for the national office of the American Cancer Society.

His blog is interesting and provocative, and he’s not afraid to speak his mind. I admit, I’m a bit biased because I’ve interviewed him on more than one occasion for various and sundry articles, and he is a great guy and extremely knowledgable about a wide range of cancer issues.

No, just in case you were wondering, I have no ties to the American Cancer Society, and absolutely nothing to disclose. I just like Dr. Len and his blog, and think its a great resource. I happened to think of it right now, because I was doing some research and his blog popped up.

The Truth About Nursing

cade-nurse

Sounds like some sort of expose. Either that or a made for TV movie.

But that apparently is the new incarnation of the Nurse Advocacy Center, which I blogged about the other day. The Center which closed its door amidst “a great legal crisis,” give or take.

Sandy Summers has now simply reopened the Center under a different name, the Truth About Nursing, but all else appears to be identical. It is run by Sandy and her husband, as was the Advocacy Center, with a small board of directors. I’m assuming that there’s some crossover–that some of the board members have made the switch. I really didn’t have time to check and compare names.

The layout of the website is identical, even down to the color scheme. Much of the archived material, such as movie reviews and profiles of famous nurses, has simply been moved over to the new site.

So for those nurses who mourned the loss of the Advocacy Center, never fear, it is back. Just with a different name.

Since the center is essentially back online, it really makes the explanation given on the old website all the more puzzling. But you know, in the grand scheme of things, it really doesn’t matter.
