Congratulations to Linda Thiel

The Midwest Nursing Research Society (MNRS), http://www.mnrs.org, recently held a contest to find a new name for their weekly newsletter. Previously called the "Monday E-Newsletter", they were looking for a new title to begin using in September 2009. Contestants could enter as many times as they liked with their ideas. The titles were reviewed and one of the winners was our very own NNPN members...Sister Linda M. Thiel, PhD, RN, with the new name of "MNRS Matters". Dr. Thiel has been an NNPN member since it's inception, along with being a key member of the Networking Workgroup. MNRS Matters will be published on a bi-weekly basis to continue to bring the most up-to-date information and news to our members. Congratulations Linda!
