For the past several years, I have written two lists; the Professional Reading List and the Summer Reading list. I do this by reaching out to readers and asking for your suggestions.  

So you understand what I am looking for, here is a link to the 2024 Professional Reading List. https://nursesadvocates.com/2024-professional-reading-list  The 2025 Professional Reading List will be released mid-June.  In this post, I am asking you to share e-newsletters, professional journals, new books that have been written on the healthcare system, websites, podcasts and other mediums where you get news and information on advances happening across the broad healthcare system. Send them to me by May 31, 2025, so I can include in the 2025 Professional Reading List.  

The second list is my Summer Reading list. This list is more casual. I look for your contributions on books that you have read that help you relax, laugh, cry and even learn. This list is used by many throughout the year to find a new author or a good book to curl up with and escape the crazy world we live in.  

The Summer Reading List will go out just before the 4th of July. If you have not seen My Summer Reading List, here is the link for the 2024 Summer Reading List. https://nursesadvocates.com/2024-summer-reading-list 

Please send me your contributions with the title of the publication and links to access them with a short description of why you recommend your contribution. I would like your contribution by June 4th for the 2025 Summer Reading List.  

I look forward to your contribution to both lists. Email me at allewellyn48@gmail.com.  

Have a good week!
