Hey VLV, I didn't realize you were in the W. Valley! Salem-ish? I'm in Lane County and looking for an RN program that might be more feasible to get into than LCC (where you need a 3.8 just to get on a waiting list). I've got a 3.47, 2 yrs hospital experience as a CNA (1 on a med floor, one doing ward clerk/tech/psych tech in the ED) and 6 previous years of a mixed bag of caregiving. May I bother you for your opinion of area schools? Anything you've heard? I'd really appreciate any input you might have! Thanks so much!

Hello, I was wondering what happened to the thread 'I've been a racist jerk to a co-worker'? I'm just wondering, as I can't seems to find it as well as I looked on 'My Posts' the post I posted isn't there. Just curious.. . Thanks!

Oh, OK...thanks, I'll go check it out!

oh..maybe you didn't know that karen posted after you.
anyways, it's still open.

HAPPY 4th of JULY, VIVA!!!!

G'day! Just popping in to say ... G'day!

Dear Marla:

I think it was you or Iris, who asked that I write an article, which I'm in the midst of doing (it started with the home birth thread). When I submited it a message stated that I'm not allowed to work on that page.

Here's some of what I have so far:

I would like to share events regarding the education of expectant parents. At no time in the past 3-4 generations, women in larger communities knew about education about birth.

It is impossible to measure data from different countries, without control studies. What was so in England in the '40s, when Dr. Grantly Dick Reed began Childbirth Education based on the fact that fear increases pain, was not the milieu elsewhere.

Dr. Portnuff in Montreal hired nurses to teach his patients and insisted that they attend.

In the '60s Dr. Lamaze's work with patients at his clinic in Paris, France started.

I'll finish and submit the article if that's appropriate. Please write a message in that regard.
