I started my search for a new nurse today. I’m a little more confident about the process this time around and I have a pretty good sense of the type of person I want working with me. So I’m following up on some leads from my current nurses and I’ve also sent ads to some of the nursing schools around here. Incidentally, if any of you know of a nurse in the metro area who might be looking for some part-time work, send them my way. Here’s the ad:
NURSE: Unique home care opportunity for RN/LPN. Client is active 30-yr-old man who is ventilator dependent, living in DT Mpls. Mostly evening/weekend shifts. LPN: $27/hr; RN: $37/hr. Applicants should be outgoing, laid back, have good interpersonal skills. Vent experience preferred but not required. Ideal for someone looking for part-time/casual hours. For more information, e-mail Mark at msiegel1@mn.rr.com.

I feel awful for the women in the adult film industry business who contracted HIV from a fellow performer. Yes, porn is a risky business, but so are lots of other jobs. Some people will condemn these women for their behavior and loudly proclaim that they deserved to be infected. I’m not interested in condemning anyone. People get into porn for any number of reasons, but nobody deserves to face death because of that choice. My only hope is that they receive appropriate medical care and that the industry mandates protected sex for all performers.
