Wow Kuan, you and I have quite different experiences with nurses. I taught human A&P in a juco and I promise you, it was not a class that just required literacy. When I was hired the dean told me that A&P was the course they used to cut the student population to a manageable size. No nursing school without a B in both semesters, both lecture and lab. If there was a large cohort for a gven year an A would be necessary. There's a boatload of college grads in other curricula who couldn't pass that class. I've seen'em. It was not as rigorous as general bio equivalents: comparative anatomy (the best course offered to convince people of the authenticity of vertebrate evolution) and any intro physiology course. But then, the standards were pretty high for nursing wannabees. You don't have to be a genius to be an RN. But you must be a bit above average and very, very focused. That second trait eliminates a lot more than the first. Blackmercedes, its a buyers market. In Louisiana we ***** about those dang rich Texas school systems raiding our teachers with bigger money and more benefits. BTW, my brother recently married a Canadian import school teacher. She maintains her citizenship, but that's all that's between her and total assimilation. Resistence is futile. Botnst |

Yeah Ted, four nurses. The conversations around the dinner table during holidays sometimes gets quite gross. You know when I was at Abbott visiting my friend Bess I was wondering if I'd run into your mom. The nurses were great there.

One of my wife's sisters got her LPN after a year and a half of college. She went on to get her RN after two years in JC. No disrespect meant, but she was one of those who had to be dragged through her one required chem lab... twice! She also required a live in stat tutor (thank goodness for big sisters). Once again, rather than amplifying her difficulties in school but focusing on her persistence, I'd say that if she can do it, almost anyone can.

You're probably right Piotr, but only for other industrial nations with manufacturing capabilities similiar to ours... countries like Japan, Germany, Mexico, South Korea, Australia, Taiwan.
It may be impossible to tell where the jobs went without some very detailed detective work. Nonetheless, I don't think the loss of manufacturing jobs has hit Mexico as hard as it has hit the US.
