TRIVIA TODAY - Wednesday, May 8, 2013

Greetings Infomaniacs,

This week is National Nurses Week, which is designated to celebrate nurses and all that they do. I have been helped by nurses many times during my life, and I give them a lot of respect for all that they do to help their patients. It's not pretty most of the time! Anyway, thank you to all the nurses out there, and here are some nursing facts to check out today.

Enjoy!
Melissa
