I don't "shop" for nurses. The ones I encounter at my doctor's officesare
college grads who have passed exams and are licensed. That's who the
doctors at our PPO hire.


Harry, we can only take you for your word, but your experience is very much
in the minority.
Almost elitist in a way.

In this dismal economy and rising unemployment, some of the few bright spots
for careers are in the fields of medical technicians, EMT's, nurses and
aids that do not require a college education. They require training and
certification of course, but they are fully qualified to perform many basic
procedures, leaving the RNs and Doctors free to deal with more important
activities.

With the shortage of RN's, we should be encouraging it.
