You may have misunderstood. The section I wanted you to see is Heartbeats. It is in My Community and it is indeed completely free. You are referring to the unlimited continuing education and career management services. That is the only thing that costs $39.95/year. The rest is free.

Arnold is 82 and having some prostate problems. After examining him, the doctor gives him a specimen jar and says, "Take this home with you and try to produce a semen specimen. Stop by tomorrow and drop it off so I can run a few tests." Harold takes the jar and heads home. The next day Harold comes in and asks to speak with the doctor. When he is taken into the office the doctor asks how he made out. "Not good, doc." Says Harold. "I went home and tried to do what you said. I tried with my right hand 'til it was cramped from the arthritis...no luck. I tried with my left hand until I had blisters- no luck. I asked my wife to help me out, so she tried with her left hand and with her right hand ...no luck. She even tried with her mouth. She tried with her teeth in and she tried with her teeth out-no luck. Then we called Edna next door to see if she could help." "Good God man!" exclaimed the doctor, "You asked your neighbor to help you?" "Yep" says Harold. "Couldn't none of us get the lid off that jar."

I just launched a new website for nurses which has a section I'd like some feedback on. It's called Heartbeats (in My Community) and is filled with inspirational stories on issues such as Death and Dying, Cultural Diversity, Healthcare Humor, etc. It's totally free, and if you get a moment, please let me know what you think of the site, how it can better help nurses, etc. You can visit us at www.ceu2000.com. Thanks so much!
