"Nurses are the cornerstone of the nation’s health care industry—they not only offer care and comfort, but also serve as role models for good health care." - National Institute of Child Health and Human Development

"While there are many factors that can contribute to one’s success in the nursing profession, there is mounting evidence that continuing education is one of the most important components. Some approaches to continuing education lead to degrees, some to certification and licensure renewal, and some are purely for professional development. Regardless of the approach, however, success in today’s nursing profession requires a lifelong learning approach." -  Dr. Ethel Ragland, Endonurse Newsletter
