In the last 7 years, the mobile audience has grown to just over half the users. While the old site works fine on desktops, there were a number of problems with it when used on tablets and cell phones:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It is\u00a0awkward to use, requiring a lot of scrolling.<\/li>\n<li>It has tiny, nearly unreadable print.<\/li>\n<li>In many cases, the links are\u00a0too close together for touch screens<\/li>\n<li>Flash video doesn&#8217;t\u00a0work at all in most mobile settings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Nursing411.org\u00a0still works fine in a desktop environment, but I needed to modify it for mobile use. I considered a number of ways to accomplish this, but in the end, it was simplest and best to build a new site.<\/p>\n<p>So I built\u00a0the\u00a0new Nursing 411 site, designed from the ground up for mobile users.<\/p>\n<p>While there is much overlap in content, the structure of the two sites is very different, in both visible and invisible ways. I hope you like it.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_23\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23\" style=\"width: 152px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/nursing411\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/nursingwings.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23\" src=\"http:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/nursing411\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/nursingwings.jpg\" alt=\"Nursing Wings\" width=\"152\" height=\"47\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/nursing411\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/nursingwings.jpg 152w, https:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/nursing411\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/nursingwings-150x47.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 152px) 100vw, 152px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-23\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nursing Wings<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>These Nursing411 wings incorporate the white heart of international nursing with the golden wings of an angel, symbolizing Nursing&#8217;s selfless dedication to the service of mankind.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>This production would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of Robert Hughey, who served as a Site Developer and Marketing Coordinator with Nursing411.org and continues to consult with the new Nursing 411.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_26\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26\" style=\"width: 206px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/nursing411\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Robert_Hughey.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26\" src=\"http:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/nursing411\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Robert_Hughey.png\" alt=\"Robert Hughey\" width=\"206\" height=\"266\" title=\"\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-26\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Robert Hughey<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>An important way to insure improvement of the nursing and medical education process is through feedback.
