You may purchase a copy for your office or own reading pleasure by going to: http://www.nursingworld.org/pressrel/2005/pr0408.htm All proceeds go to the American Nursing Association (ANA) http://www.nursingworld.org/ and the American Society of Plastic Surgical Nurses (ASPSN) http://www.aspsn.org/ We do not receive financial benefit, just the reward of knowing we helped to make a positive difference in our nursing profession!
