As we celebrate DiscoveRN's fifth anniversary, we reflect on our incredible journey. What started as a hospital-wide publication has grown into a system-wide initiative, uniting nurses across Houston Methodist in a shared mission of excellence, innovation and compassionate care.
Five years ago, we launched to foster communication and collaboration among our nursing staff. The positive response showed us the deep well of passion and dedication within our community. Over the years, our content has expanded to include clinical advancements, research findings, personal stories and educational information. DiscoveRN now includes articles from across the Houston Methodist system, thanks to our nurses' unwavering support and contributions.
Today, our publication is a testament to the power of collaboration. It has evolved into a systemwide initiative that connects nurses and fosters interdisciplinary innovation. We have partnered with other departments, creating a holistic approach to patient care and professional development.
We are grateful for our shared journey and achievements as we look to the future. We remain dedicated to fostering communication, collaboration, and innovation and supporting our nurses in their pursuit of excellence.
To our readers, contributors and supporters, thank you. Your passion and commitment have driven our success. We have created something truly special together and look forward to continuing this journey with you.
