Hi all, this sounds interesting. As a first year nursing student, I am fairly new to this forum (although I was an aide prior); I'm just wondering, how do we post an article?

Thanks.

I think you have to build up points by reading posting by others and commenting. Then you can begin to post.

So do we just post something in the forum and it is considered an article provided it meets all the criteria?
