    Thanks for the links. I can definitely see that there are negatives to working in the OR from reading those links. So I would like to hear the other side of the coin now: :dncgcpd::nmbrn::rckn: TELL ME THE GREAT THINGS, THE POSITIVES, THE REASON...

  12. **RING** Cellphones in class...

    This reminds me of the TEACHER I had once, whose cell phone would ring at least once or twice and sometimes more per class. Then we would have to wait while she took the call outside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She would just return to class and offer...
  13. Girls Talking during class is making me mad!!

    This problem should have been handled immediately by the teacher. If she can hear them, then she should handle it right then. If you had to bring it to her attention because she was not aware of it, then she should have addressed it at the beginning ...
  14. Would becoming bilingual be useful in nursing?

    Si!!!!!! In my neck of the woods -Miami, FL--- more people than not either are bilingual or speak only spanish. I can understand a bit more than I can speak it. I have some tapes that I listen to in my car--"learn spanish in your car"" tapes--I dont...
