So true. Good post IMHO. Nursing will continue to be hampered by a 'blue collar' status as long as many of its members continue to think like and act like 'subprofessionals'.

Yes worth it IMHO. I was a diploma grad and did my BSN while at home with the kids. It helped because: Showed I was still involved in nursing, despite being out [helps to make that gap on the resume look better] Allowed me to get away from shift work...

Hoolahan, What about having someone at home,to 'babysit' or even to pick up from school to mind until you or hubby get home. That way the supervision thing and the dog are taken care of. Teenagers might not like it...but hopefully they will see the p...

IMHO...this is the worst one so far. Disgusting but so sad:o

JJ. I sent you a PM :)

So...just as in previous response to another poster a page or so back...YOU are the authority... So when DOES one accumulate enough life experience to be more credible than anyone else? When does one have enough info to disregard anymore? When does ...

I LOVE Kath and Kim...am addicted to it. It's on tomorrow night and I can't wait!

Hello Tookie, I think it's a good idea because we are pretty similar...let's put us all in together...I have lots of rellies in Oz...though I guess it's hard to find one of us that doesn't. I graduated from Curtin...so that should make me sort of Aus...

This sounds like a dumb question I know...but for those of us who are newly single, it's doesn't seem dumb Anyway here's the story...there's this guy that has been doing something for me, in a professional capacity, but I have never met him...only s...

I like your approach Bella...but I am really nervous because have never ever asked a guy out before... oh forgot...the med student, back in 1980, when I was a student...anyway, he said yes...but it turned out that he was engaged...but he still went o...

My worst story...guy with sepsis in critical care ?cause ...dead gerbil in rectum My sister is in ER...prostitute comes in one night after shift in massage parlour and requests that someone remove the thing that she uses for 'cleanliness' because she...

I don't know about the others...but I couldn't retain a thing in the 3rd trimester and couldn't have managed to study much. Ditto...being exhausted for six months afterwards. ?Possibly too ambitious to plan a rigorous course for this time

I say go for it...especially if you have a good support system in place ie husband. Streamline the household chores and simplify your life... it will help. I am in my final six months of grad school [MBA], plus work and have two kids and am now a s...

Semstr...no I didn't think that the actual shop owners were crooks. But I was asking who the distributors are? where does it come from? When a whole industry is already in place...even if it is illegal...then the experience, infrastructure are alread...

Semstr, granted it was a while back when i last visited. But who distributes it now that it is OK in the coffee shops? Aren't they the same people that have always supplied it? Bet my bottom dollar they are. But more significantly, aren't they the sa...

Suzy K...aint that true, much of society are like sheep. LOL

I agree Fergus, it's a silly waste of resources but I don't think it should be legalised...they should instead stop arresting people for piddly amounts. Legalisation means legitimisation...and we don't need more people using it, already got enough pr...

Sure Fergus, it can be seen anywhere. But what i was trying to say is that there is a substantial amount of it. I did a search a while back and found an article by the US drug enforcement people...but don't have the link sorry. Anyway they say that H...

portland, I agree...the drug war is not working. Seems the drug industry is so entrenched and powerful. Perhaps nothing is working because it is just that. But the question has to asked...how can a 'needle in a haystack' be found, when we want it to...

hey respectfully portlandguy... I have been to Amsterdam and have seen it. I stayed in a B&B...landlady went through an elaborate system of security stuff every night...in fact all the buildings on the street got similarly bolted up at night [not...

I think that legalising it will only create a bigger problem... The dealers become legit...after all, just who will continue to supply it all the way down the chain? The people already established in the business of course...they become a legit bunch...

Hi Youda, it's true that we have done well. About 30% representation in Parliament...and of those, most major positions in govt are held by women. Joke is around here that the only position left for men is the missionary :roll zig

hey sjoe, that Segell guy sounds like a misogynistic jerk...with his attempt to remind readers why women can't be trusted... I do recognise the woman that you describe, but it's a gross generalisation and does not reflect the majority of women i know...

I'm a pain in the butt when I am a patient...no health worker with very long and/or fake nails touches me or my kids without gloves on...B/P whatever, I don't care. Also get really crabby when a nurse,tech or Dr thinks they can touch me without washi...
