    Personal Quote "Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much a heart can hold."
    About Me I love people from all walks of life and never seem to have a problem striking up a conversation. My passion is my career in nursing because you never stop learning. I so much enjoy my wire fox terriers ... they're "my boys!" They were both adopted as rescues after my last beloved WFT went to Rainbow Bridge. I also love to travel and have been to Canada twice now. Next I hope to go England. If I had my dream fulfilled it would be hitting the road again as a travel nurse. What great opportunities there are for seeing the country and learning new things.
    Music I enjoy just about all music from classical to some country, and the oldies. If I can't understand the words to a song I tend not to like it so that pretty much leaves out the "new age."
    Movies My all time favorite is "Gone with the Wind" but I'm an avid fan of any good drama (like The Notebook)... and I do love a good comedy!
    TV Discovery Channel, History Channel, Animal Planet, Dancing with the Stars, House, Big Brother, and some news programs on both CNN and Fox.
    Books Mysteries! Especially those with a psychological twist. I also relish reading Dr. Wayne W. Dyer ... and his latest book, Excuses Begone, is terrific!
    Likes Honesty and people with a positive outlook!
    Dislikes Negative thinking ... that glass is HALF FULL!
    Hobbies Travel, flying, long drives in the Smoky Mountains and hiking, going to the ocean for long walks along the beach, people watching, writing, reading, antiques ... I have a vast collection of antique teapots ... the English ones are my favorites.
    Vices None that are illegal ... LOL
    Smoke No
    Drink Yes
    Virtues My ability to be compassionate.
    Heroes Working on becoming my own! Ohh my, it's a long journey to become a real hero!
    My Profession Cardiac RN
    A Bit About My Job I've been an RN for just over 29 years and have worked in ICU/CCU/ER, behavioral health, traveled as a psych and med/surg nurse, and now I'm in cardiovascular intervention.

    National Healthcare Reform

    Tuesday, July 21, 2009, 11:24 PM EST [General]

    I received an email that I thought was a sick joke about the healthcare reform bill.  Then I scrolled down to the bottom and clicked on the link to Fred Thompson's radio interview of Besty McCaughey, PhD, a health expert who founded the Committee to Reduce Infection Deaths.  Listen and be informed: 

    ..."function onmousedown() { function onmousedown() { function onmousedown() { UntrustedLink.bootstrap($(this), "a35429688e1efde9fee935cbf19c0fe9", event) } } }">fredthompsonshow.com/premiumstream?dispid=320&headerDest=L3BnL2pzcC9tZWRpYS9mbGFzaHdlbGNvbWUuanNwP3BpZD03MzUxJnBsYXlsaXN0PXRydWUmY2hhcnR0eXBlPWNoYXJ0JmNoYXJ0SUQ9MzIwJnBsYXlsaXN0U2l6ZT01

    Ramblings from a night owl...

    Sunday, July 5, 2009, 04:05 AM EST [General]

    I should've been an owl ... seems I'm always wide awake at night.  I'm just exploring all the different features on here ... and reading some interesting articles.  One in particular ... healthcare survey ... has opened my eyes as to why my hospital has nixed big plans for a new downtown medical complex.  We're also having cutbacks on staffing and many nurses are having to use their PTO to make up for lost shifts.  Is this just the beginning of what we can expect?

    See I would suggest you few out here, let me know if you are fan of classical Indian music, ever heard before or sth, its really devine, lyrics are written by old saints in such a way that tear would come out of our eyes automatically while listening that, in English I have never ending list, many of them you must have listened I am sure. Many artists are mentioned in my profile only, apart from that if you know any devine music, let me know. Will Keep sending. Take care
