Donna Cardillo is supposed to be a leader in the field of nursing careers. If I recall, she writes columns for another nursing site and has a book or two published. I would like to attend something like this. It should prove to be interesting.

It does sound interesting. Maybe we should all meet up at one of these functions one day! What do you think?

[cali510]

I think that would be a great idea. Good excuse to have our own meeting in a hopefully pleasant atmosphere.

Hmmmm! We should discuss that further, ya know?
