| 2009 Year in Review |
It's the little things that added up to big changes for nurse practitioners this year. NPs won key victories in gaining primary care provider status on insurance panels, signature authority for required healthcare forms and expanded prescriptive authority. Take your inspiration from these achievements, and pursue your own in 2010.

Research reveals that up to 50% of those on antibiotics can benefit by taking probiotics. By recommending Florajen High Potency Probiotics concurrently with antibiotic regimens, side effects can be avoided and better patient outcomes achieved. Florajen's beneficial flora also aids those suffering chronic yeast infections, various digestive problems as well as improving immune function. Florajen is a vital tool, used by healthcare professionals and recommended by leading pharmacists since 1991, safely effectively and affordably.

| Spot Poll |
Last month's opinion poll asked how you planned to celebrate Nurse Practitioner Week (Nov. 8-14). Sadly, 61% of respondents said that their employer didn't know about or didn't recognize NP Week, and 19% said they themselves weren't aware of NP Week. A handful (13%) said their employer includes them in Nurses Week activities.
This month we're asking whether you have a formal employment contract.
