THE 2011 HOLIDAY GIFT OF BOOKS AWARD RECIPIENT IS the MISSISSIPPI RECOVERING NURSE PROGRAM!

Each November since "Unbecoming A Nurse" was released, we have selected a state monitoring or peer assistance program for nurses to receive our HOLIDAY GIFT OF BOOKS to distribute to nurses currently participating in their program.

In 2009, the Recovering and Monitoring Program (RAMP) in New Jersey was selected as the first program to receive our HOLIDAY GIFT OF BOOKS. In 2010, the Indiana State Nurses Assistance Program (ISNAP) received our HOLIDAY GIFT OF BOOKS. Additionally, due in part to an unforeseen donation of funds from a very gracious anonymous nurse in recovery, we had the resources available to send out an additional HOLIDAY GIFT OF BOOKS for each nurse enrolled in the nurse monitoring program in the state of Maine.

This annual gift demonstrates our acknowledgement that nurses in peer support and monitoring programs are facing the greatest personal and professional challenge possible. Our firm belief is that these nurses deserve our unfailing support throughout the year, but especially during the holiday season. It is our way of recognizing and encouraging their ongoing recovery efforts and affirming our conviction that these nurses are very important to us, the nursing profession and society.

Happy Holidays!

Regards,
Paula

Author Paula Davies Scimeca and independent publisher Sea Meca, Inc. were honored when USABookNews.com selected "From Unbecoming A Nurse to Overcoming Addiction: Candid Self-Portraits of Nurses in Recovery" as an Award-Winning Finalist in the Health: Addiction and Recovery category of the "BEST BOOKS 2010" AWARDS on October 26th, 2010.

USABookNews.com is the premier online magazine and review website for mainstream and independent publishing houses. With over 140 categories representing print and audio books, Jeffrey Keen, President and CEO of USABookNews.com, said this year's contest yielded an unprecedented number of entries which were then narrowed down to over 500 winners and finalists.

Ms. Scimeca responded to the announcement by saying: "This award honors the twenty-nine nurses who graciously contributed their stories of long-term recovery from addiction to the book. Such public recognition acknowledges their courageous efforts and transmits the hope of sustained, uninterrupted recovery to thousands of other nurses who are striving for their own recovery from addiction, one day at a time."
