Endings (Unofficial Challenge)
An ending has a beginning, of course. And this one does, also. It all started with a challenge. After all, who doesn't love a challenge? Even if you don't particularly like joining in and competing in one, I'm sure that you might be curious as to who wins?

Fake it Til You Make It (the Story)
>How it All Started I suppose the first step to writing this story is telling how Janie and Rich met. Was it kismet? I guess you could call it that. It wasn't even a pre-determined blind date. Nothing like that. In fact, the odds of these two winding up together were a longshot at best. So, okay...this is how it happened.

Why Teaching Nursing Students
Spending the last fifteen years of my professional career as a Nursing Instructor was probably my most meaningful era in the healthcare field for me. Having paid my dues on a busy Medical-Surgical floor, Postpartum float, Geriatric nursing supervisor, home health agency, Neuro/Neuro ICU charge nurse, Neurosurgeon's clinic, Day Surgery unit, I wasn't even looking to spread my wings to academia. But, as the story goes, sometimes opportunities just come to you. I like to think of this as a pre-destined assignment.)

Divorce Discovery
I don't know if there are still divorce recovery classes offered anymore. Are there? Back in the 90's they were widely known and popular. They were usually hosted by local churches and with only a minimal application fee, if any. In retrospect, they were probably a very good idea.
