Are you wearing your pink today?
You know I am.
A while ago, I told my young adult daughter about allnurses forum, the school nurse group, and the "we wear pink on Wednesday." So last night she and I were discussing laundry (she has relocated due to her profession, and she is staying with us for a month), and I said something about wearing my pink scrubs. She said "this is for that nursing forum of yours, right?" I told her it is, and she just looked at me sadly and shook her head. She then said "I hope you don't tell other people that you wear pink because someone on-line tells you to. Your co-workers will think you are nuts." I never thought of it from that perspective. I am wearing lots of pink today, dear friends on-line.

I decided to think outside the nursing box - after all, retirement is going to come faster than i realize - and i'm doing a degree in disaster preparedness. My post school nursing life will include using my contacts for consulting and OEM type jobs.
