Organic food makes you immortal, I guess :) In all seriousness, if you have evidence/research that organic consumers live longer or don't get sick or ill as often as the rest of us I'd love to see it. I'm open to changing my mind.

Holy long-windedness, Batman. So.many logical fallacies, so little time.

Then I guess we'll have to stay away from passion fruit. It's a shame cause I like passion fruit. It is commonly processed into juice for consumption. According to Chan et al. (1972) , this fruit is highly acidic and it contains good source of niacin, riboflavin , vitamin C and vitamin A. It contains 14.41 to 21.9% of refractometeric solids, 21.9 to 69.9 mg/ (100 g samples) of ascorbic acid and 1073-1547 as i.u. of vitamin A/ (100g of samples) of carotene (Pruthi and Lal, 1959 ). 3,7-dimethylocta-1,5-diene-3, 7- diol, 3,7-dimethylocta-1,7-diene-3.6-doil, "

You dare question that bastion of scientific knowledge and moral integrity known as Putin?

You know what's both ironic and a little hilarious at the same time? Not only do "organic" farmers use pesticides, just like evil GMO farmers do...but they actually have to use them in greater quantities because "natural" pesticides are not as effective. I guess most people on this thread won't find that funny, but I do :)

Your decision of having or not having a baby does not potentially risk the health of vulnerable patients. I don't get the analogy.

"Your anger is better aimed in the proper direction. Email you representative to close our borders...rather than be insulting to few of us who prefer a natural lifestyle. Take care." Lol, yes don't criticize me for my anti-scientific beliefs, ...blame the dirty immigrants instead! Thanks, Nurse Trump

This thread was a trip. And Dinah77 is my hero,

Anyone know of any openings? I'm here now on a travel contract but still very interested in per diem gigs.

Thanks, Paco. Phoenix and Denver are 2 places I'm curious about, and I've been to neither so it would be great.

Jesus. That may be the single most negative post I've read on AllNurses, and I've been a member for like 10 years. A newbie reading something like that would be terrified of traveling. I hope they know that some of us have had much more positive experiences than that. In 5 years of traveling I've been to maybe two crappy places, did my time, survived and got out to better places. It is not that bad.

Looking for ideas, fellow travelers. My current contract ends in April, after a year of working at a NJ hospital, and 5 years of 'traveling' in NY/NJ (I met my wife in the area so I didn't get to travel elsewhere like I originally intended to.) I'm going through a divorce so the time could not be more right to start actually traveling again. The only thing I know for sure is I'm heading West starting from FL (towards California) then North all the way to Seattle. What stops would you suggest along the way to work at, which ones to sight-see and move on? The only sure working stops I have so far are San Diego, L.A., SF, Portland, and Seattle, with maybe Austin added to the list ...but what about before I reach California? Again, I'll be driving from FL. I'm Medsurg/Tele, btw, and I tend to like bigger cities.

I've been working contracts here in NJ for about a year and you can add terrible staffing ratios to that, at least in Medsurg. I thought I might have been unlucky with the 2 hospitals I have been to (Overlook and Chilton, both ran by Atlantic Network) but locals tell me that nope, nursing just sucks all over this state. Can't wait to leave. If you're wondering why I've stayed so long is because I met my wife in NY and we both moved here in search of cheaper housing. But I'm just not a fan of Jersey.

I'm from Miami and worked there for 3 years before I started traveling, and can tell you that what Ned said is right on the money. There are better places to travel to, but I understand that you have your heart set on Florida (same as I did with NYC.) Try to get a little more experience because you never know what you may encounter as a traveler, and you want to be able to deal with it.

All you guys on this thread are hard core. Hats off to you all.
