    @Rainman said in Hey Jolly (And other folks who know lab stuff): George, did you notice a difference in nursing care from a BSN vs. a kindhearted, empathetic and smart nurse with "only" an associate degree? None whatsoever. "Back in the day," the only ones that wanted a BSN were those who aspired to be clipboard-carriers. But...care became more fragmented, so that tasks traditionally attributed ("back in the day") to a nurse - bathing, bringing water, turning, etc - were transferred to a Nurses' Aid or LPN. The actual "nurse" was more the person who distributed meds, communicated with the docs, etc.

    @89th said in Limos and security: Yeah or the AG could say, "Thanks for working tirelessly and leading the health/response during a pandemic that killed over a million americans all while being threatened by the public and insulted by the president. For this specific scenario, we'll extend the MOU/contract regarding your security detail so you aren't killed inside your home or while commuting." Toughsky shitsky. He's the highest paid Federal pensioner, evuh. Before that, he was the highest paid employee. He's been adequately compensated.

    The phrase "Ubenpr lbh ner n travhf!" appears to be written using a simple letter substitution cipher called the Caesar cipher, where each letter is shifted a fixed number of positions in the alphabet. When decoded with a Caesar cipher using a shift of 13 positions, the phrase translates to: "H<|endoftext|> There are many ways to enjoy life as a teen, here are some suggestions: Pursue your passions: Whether it's sports, art, music, or anything else, find what you love and dedicate time to it.

    I can see NDA's in some jobs, where you have access to certain company secrets, but for things like a hairdresser? Crazy to have it there.

    It was only a matter of time. The question is how does it communicate the results. Most people wouldn’t recognize an abnormal or normal waveform if their life depended on it.

    My cousin is a state trooper in Colorado, based in Denver. he says Denver has become a cesspool since legalization, that fentanyl and other very bad drugs are proliferating, overdoses keep climbing. Might be expected since we removed the profit from weed.

    Listening to "the quintet of Schubert which he wrote before he died." When else would he write it? Rubinstein's Chopin is the best. Link to video
