What is a blog?

"A blog is a web page made up of usually short, frequently updated posts that are arranged chronologically - like a what's new page or a journal. The content and purposes of blogs varies greatly... . Blogs help small groups communicate in a way that is simpler and easier to follow than email or discussion forums. A blog can help keep everyone in the loop, promote cohesiveness and group culture, and provide an informal "voice" of a project or department to outsiders" (Blogger.com).

The goals of the Health and Wellness Blog are two-fold:
1.) To provide Misericordia University graduate nursing students with an opportunity to use an on-line E-health technology.

2.) To share helpful health related information sources that can assist members of the college community to improve their level of health and wellness and their self-management of chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and arthritis.

Please feel free to log on and ask questions and request information. We hope you find this resource interesting and useful.

Thank you for your support of this learning activity.
