Shawn Hubbard, RN
Santa Cruz, California

This is a photo of the lighthouse on East Cliff Beach next to the boardwalk. Traveling was always a dream of mine. I have never been so welcomed like I have been here. Santa Cruz, CA is the perfect place to be for me. I thank my recruiter for encouraging me to travel to this area. I would recommend Santa Cruz to any traveler wanting a diverse population with a multi-cultural and open minded way of living.

I want to see the USA but where to start?

I passed the NCLEX-RN just before christmas and the time has come to decide just where in the USA I want to work. I currently live in the North East of England and am due to start working for OGP somewhere near the end of the year. I have 6 years experience and currently work on a Trauma Ward for the past 6 years which is med/surg specializing in orthopedics, plastics, max fax and A&E admissions. I have a list of the usual places in the US to visit but no idea where to work. Ideally somewhere very friendly and not freezing cold (been there done that). Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Discipline

A school teacher injured his back and had to wear a plaster cast around the upper part of his body. It fit under his shirt and was not noticeable at all. On the first day of the term, still with the cast under his shirt, he found himself assigned to the toughest students in school.

Walking confidently into the rowdy classroom, he opened the window as wide as possible and then busied himself with desk work. The classroom became a bit unruly and he admonished them. This happened several times.

When he could do work at his desk, the strong breeze from the window made his tie flap annoyingly. He kept rearranging and rearranging the tie as the class raised it’s level of unruliness.

Finally, becoming disgusted with the wayward tie, he stood up and took a big stapler off his desk and stapled the tie to his chest in several places.

Discipline was not a problem from that day forth.
