   That's interesting. I do plan on furthering my education and may possibly be involved in research one day but have no interest in being in a management position or an educator. LOL good point on your last statement!

   I greatly appreciate your input, sailornurse. So in your experience, it seems like the membership was basically more of a "status" symbol. You mentioned that you were invited three times. Do they only invite you while you are enrolled in school, whet...

    I would say that this type of leadership is helpful when directing inexperienced/new staff, who may need a bit of structure when starting out. Like I mentioned above, I believe that this style would also be useful when responding to a crisis. Dependi...

    Bluebell. replied to Bluebell.'s topic in Student Assist
