Wow, we have so many impressive people on here. Fleetwood Mac should eat this **** up. I'm a junior in college. English major. Education minor. I do a ton of private tutoring, and I also run an SAT prep program out of a high school in my area.

You are on an adult unit, Lorraine?

Finished the phD last September and while looking for uni lecturing positions (I'll most likely end up in the US - hurrah) I'm working full time at a high school with 900 kids running the office there. I used to work at a non-mainstream school for children with social, educational and behavioural needs.

Yes, only an adult unit; 18 and over. I read your earlier post that you work with children and adolescents. I don't think I could handle that. Its hard enough to handle the misfortunes of adults, but children, that would be too much for me to handle.

In my dreams, I'm a NICU nurse.

Will you PLEASE get your ass in nursing school?!?!

HA! I worked residential treatment for adolescents for 5 years & I don't think I would have been able to deal with ADULTS!

I'm an RN as well; have been a nurse for about 16 years. Have worked with profound developmentally disabled kids & inpatient mental health population in the past. Now I'm the clinic manager at a university health clinic.

On February 21, 2001 I started my own Janitorial Service, cleaning commercial accounts. Here I am exactly 10 years later, a successful businessman. I love being self employed. I have the best schedule of anyone I know.

Editor.

I like it because I get to read all my favorite usage books & get paid for it: Fowler, Follett, Barzun, Partridge, Garner, Gowers, & so on.

Nice to see all of the medical professionals on the board. My dear ol' Mum was a RN before major back and knee problems forced her to retire early. She was an excellent oncology nurse, and I know it kills her not to be able to do it anymore. Las Vegas doesn't have a nursing union, so she walked away with nothing but medical problems of her own. Now, money for her is pretty tight. I feel terrible for her. Not to mention she's married to a complete dick, but that's an entire other thread.
