The Nursing Degree Mistake??

Posted by Sean on July 8, 2011

Hmm…
There is some truth to this. It doesn’t mention the available opportunities to change this fate.

The College Degrees You Should Have Gotten

Two Surprising Degrees to Avoid
A Bachelor of Science in Nursing is another one of those degrees that looks great at first glance, with a nice starting salary: the average starting pay is $52,700, which is in the top 20 of average starting salaries. A great choice, right? But by mid-career, most nurses will cap out at a salary not much higher than what they began with. The average mid-career income is $68,200, less than $16,000 more than the starting pay.

RULES FOR BEING HUMAN

Found this some time ago on the web

1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around.

2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called life. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid.

3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial and error, and experimentation. The ‘failed’ experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately ‘work’.

4. A lesson is repeated until learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can then go on to the next lesson.

5. Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.

6. ‘There’ is not better than ‘here’. When your ‘there’ has become a ‘here’, you will simply obtain another ‘there’ that will, again, look better than ‘here’.

7. Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.

8. What you make of life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.

9. The answer lies inside you. The answer to life’s questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust.

10. You will forget all this.

Colonoscopy Face

Posted by Sean on July 8, 2011

For those of us familiar with the healthcare side of this procedure.. this was comical.

colonoscopy face

I tweeted today that someday, I want to make a video of all the faces that doctors make while they’re doing colonoscopies.  Our GI colleagues are as talented as they are brilliant, but as we all do, they sometimes make some funny faces while they’re working.  And since I’m almost always standing directly across from them, I get to see the full spectrum.  Here are a few favorites.
We love our GI colleagues, and I hope that I look as cute when I’m making my “concentration” face as they do.  (However, as I know I likely do not, it’s a lucky thing that I’m wearing a surgical mask 75% of the time.)
