I’m on my second day of interviewing nurses in preparation for leaving the agency. This is something new for me. In the past, the agency always hired my staff and I had little input in the matter other than thumbs-up or thumbs-down.

And I’m really enjoying having a little more control in the whole process.

I felt that it didn’t quite capture my belief in a natural world with no such things as ghosts, miracles, curses, etc. I also don’t usually relish antagonistic conversations with militant Christians about my own beliefs. But this article<\/a> in the NYT and this one<\/a> in the Guardian have introduced have me to a new term. I’m a bright. Notice how that’s a different statement than, “I’m bright.” Go here<\/a> to learn more.<\/p>\n
