Welcome to Call Lights Magazine. We are a lifestyle magazine written by nurses for nurses. In this issue, you will meet nurse-poet, Stacy Nigliazzo who late last year published her first collection of poems, Scissored Moon. Recently, Scissored Moon became a finalist for the 2013 Julie Suk Award for Best Poetry Book (Jacar Press). Congratulations Stacy!

In another article, C. Barkley, RN offers knowledgeable advice about what to do if you accidentally miss a shift. It’s a mistake nurses dread making, but a professional recovery is possible.

We’ve also featured a gallery of drawings, collages, and paintings by Julianna Paradisi, RN, OCN (aka JParadisiRN) made for Off the Chart, the blog of the American Journal of Nursing. Enjoy!

More articles will follow. Cheers!
