I have seen several good people get screwed over this way...

When's the wetting down party? take care, Jim

The only wetting down around here [no alcohol consumption allowed in Iraq... at least on our FOB] is the +1/4 mile walk from our tent to the DFAC. The wet being sweat with +120 degree temps, especially with IBA [Individual Body Armor Vest], and Kevlar, etc.

I'll let ya'll know when I get officially pinned [velcro'd, LOL].

I have been an RN since 1980.

A few years back I sent in a resume to company based in the middle-east (the corporate office was in Canada) that was recruting nurses.
I got a letter back stating that the company does not accept men as nurses.
The original ad was in the 'official journal of the ANA', you know the one that is supposed to support and promote professionalism in nursing?

I sent my rejection letter to the Editor to let them know that they were accepting advertising from a company that was practicing gender discrimination.

I got a busque note back from the ANA Journal Editor that basically said: "We do not care about discrimination by our advertisers."

Hmmm, run it this way: What if I was Africian American (or chinese, or Japanese or anything else), got rejected by an advertiser because of my race and the Editor of the official ANA magaznine replied that: "We do not care if our advertisers discriminate against blacks"?

Sounds different doesn't it? Sure didn't feel different.

It sounds discriminatory to me no matter how you cut it.

Hi everyone,

I've been reading many of these posts and have found them very interesting as they are directly related to a new study I'm coordinating.

I recently posted a new thread on this, but thought it couldn't hurt to share the link below on this thread that is so directly related to the things I'm measuring.

The study will take no longer than 10-15 minutes of your time. As noted in the consent form, the project has been approved by the IRB (Institutional Review Board) of the University of Texas at Austin.

Plese visit the following website to participate!
