Who's Who Among Women in Nursing

Lukestar · Jul 12, 2005

I got a letter today telling me I am being considered for inclusion to the 05/06 Who's Who List Among Executive and Profession Women in Nursing. Is this something that comes out to all women nurses? I just got my license- there is no reason for me to be getting this. Anyone know what this is about? -A

Probably the same people that do the High School version of Who's Who. Just send them your $75 and they will add your profile to their list.

I got a similar letter and another for the national's dean list. As I logged on to the website mind you, it said to join for free blah blah blah and at the end "buy" the book where your name was to be printed :rolleyes:

Yeah right! Even if it was true or a deal per say, I hate those kind of letters

Yea, I got one of those too. The letter is on my fridge and I am going to frame it after I graduate.

I am so gald they have such confidence in me given that I too, am a guy (hey, if women can join men's club, why not men joining women's club), but I am not an RN yet. Actually I am not even in nursing school. I am prenursing.

Such an encouraging letter. I will use it as part of my resume...

That is pretty funny, I wonder what data base they got your name from. Good luck in your pre nursing studies. Just a comment, you may not see what some of the courses have to do with nursing but trust me you will be able to use it. Nursing is no longer a women's club as a matter of fact men move up quicker because they do not have some of genetic and social characteristics of females. I am a female and I know.

I subscribed to a few nursing journal, that's probably where they got it.

Thanks for the encouragment. I liked all the courses so far for nursing (except chem). So I am enjoying it.

We had something like that in high school and it turned out that you had to pay to get your name in the book. I think that they are just out to get your money. They got mine when I was in High School! :chuckle By the way I love the quote about bacteria!

I think if you are a guy, your chances are a lot better for some reason as demonstrated here that there are a few guys who got this letter. I wonder who wrote the software to figure out who to send it to...
