Mental’s Christmas Message

Merry Christmas everyone!

Hopefully no one is reading this on the day itself. Just thought I would write a quick message to try and sum up the last year and some news on upcoming changes.

Mental’s Christmas Message 2008

A followup to Mental’s Christmas Message.

Welcome to Mental’s Christmas Message 2008. Hopefully no one is reading this on the days itself and you are all merrily tucking in to turkey or your festive food of choice.

For those that can not be bothered reading a very long summary of the year post here is the important bit. I would like to thank everyone who over the previous year has made Mental Nurse the most wonderful blog by a mental health nurse with multiple authors ever. Particularly to all the post authors who have given of their time and effort to give us such entertainment and thought provokingness. Also all those who have had a guest post published. I especially enjoyed the Shrinks’ contribution. Also to all the commenters both old and new. Though oldschoolbaby is on the naughty list for not giving us a full post this year. All of us at Mental Nurse hope you have the best Christmas period possible and for those working the day itself we hope no one says the Q word.

I think this year the site has gone from strength to strength, despite some wobbles, and hope the next year will continue to see it grow and improve.

As always if anyone thinks they have anything to contribute please leave a comment, we are looking for new authors. We also would like to hear any ideas on how to improve the site and make it better. My current plan is to write a gateway page with links to the best and most important posts all suggestions welcome. This should help new readers get used to the way we do things.

Merry Christmas to you all.

Read on after the break for the first half of the year in Review.

Mental Nurse.

Mental's Christmas Message 2010 - A Year In Bun Fights

Welcome to the annual round up of the best and worst of Mental Nurse.

[I am actually here on Christmas day posting this as the automatic thingy stopped working]

As always the most important bit is to thank everyone who has contributed to the site in any way at all. Thanks to all the lurkers, commenters, guest posters, authors, Kylie, my mum, your mum and of course Zarathustra for keeping the site going for yet another year. So far this year we seem to have about 270 posts which is pretty good.

Merry Christmas to you all, especially anyone that has the poor luck to be actively involved with the mental health system (staff or patient), over the festive period.

Mental Nurse.
