It makes sense for those who haven't been
on the fast socioeconomic educational track
from their earlier days. And I think that a
requirement to learn the practical skills
would be a good thing, except that it would
turn off those with that intellectual
impatience that is prized these days.
Both are necessary.... the practical and the intellectual....
The question is can you have both skill sets
rolled up into the same person. The demands
placed on the staff are greater than ever - but
that might be largely due to understaffing by
the comfortably paid hospital administration.
Actually, I would have been intrigued by nursing
as a profession, because even forty years ago I
felt that clinical physicians were turning away
from actual health care by becoming too, well,
clinical. It's peculiar how that term has evolved
to mean pretty much the opposite of what it was
meant to.
Like so many other terms....
It really oughtn't happen. Usually the
phenomenon arises owing to sloppy use
of language.
Do people with the 2-year certification ever
go on to a four-year program, and would there be
an advantage in doing so?
Yes.... and yes... Some places would give higher pay with the further education... and it might be that the further degree would also open the doors to more responsibility/positions as well...
But both these phenomena bleed off talent
from places where they would be of greatest
use.
And now, to recognize that, more schools are
offering various kinds of doctoral degrees in
nursing (odd though that may sound). I'm all
for the recognition but am not in favor of the
mindset that makes people not take one seriously
unless there's a doctor in front of the name.
Indeed. I suppose that a doctorate in nursing might qualify one for administration or teaching, rather than being more qualified for the
work in the wards and in the field....
I'm conflicted about that. Of course you
need administrators, but taking experience
out of the pool is not optimal (see above).
Problem is that the stuff does go, and when it
does, rapidly. I wonder if you could help it
stay fresh by squeezing a couple caps of vitamin
E into the jug.
I don't know how that would work... my experience with vitamin E is that
it goes rancid soon enough, itself...
Interesting. It's not supposed to and
is used as a "natural" preservative
in a lot of settings.
If the shoestring operation had the
resources to provide the guidance - which
is the problem with businesses that have
had to cut to the bone.
It doesn't really take much training per se, more just an atmosphere in which to work.... :)
Supervision as much as training, then. Also
in short supply in such businesses.
We might be thinking of different sorts of businesses... And a business
I was thinking of the little grocers whose
niche might be threatened by Weggie's and
similar.
that had to cut to the bone, for lack of proper practices that might
have made it thrive, probably wouldn't much care about things like
improving customer service in any case....
In some sitations the relation between
customer and store has become adversarial,
which is never the best way.
Some legislative killjoy would undoubtedly
require there be a big label saying May contain
insects or insect parts.
I'm sure that the marketroids would find a way to turn that about...
I suppose they could rename roaches crunchberries
or something.
That's not all that far-fetched.... ;0 Or locusts could be touted as
"part of a Biblical diet".... :)
We're being way too nasty. Is it
justified, I wonder?
Looks sort of like what I'd expect, and better
than the recipe I posted with its idiotic nutmeg.
Don't think this one has any nutmeg.... :) And it does make a nice
side.... :)
I tend not to make a fuss.... but it doesn't mean I'd stick
around...
I'm not exactly an eat a burger in front of a PETA
demonstration type, but neither would I stop eating
it if some zealot came across my path.
Likewise... :)
Once in a while someone gets in your face.
There are numerous ways of dealing, but
ofttimes the best way is to do nothing.
Ofttimes, yes... :)
It's bewildering. Best thing is just to
be bewildered.
Peanuts don't rancidize easily (I know,
there are often occasional bad ones in the
cans, but that tells you how old they are),
plus they're protected by all that sugar.
And with the humidity in the house being
30% or less most of the time, that's not
much of an issue. Plus if the candy dries out
it becomes closer to peanut brittle anyway.
So it would still be tasty... :) Just different... :)
We'll find out, but I suspect that's the case.
Cap'n Crunch chicken katsu
categories: poultry, main, odd
servings: 4
That looks like a recipe to use in some contest where one has to use a namebrand product in it.... Cap'n Crunch instead of more typical
breading....
Interestingly, stuff breaded in cereal crumbs
has become A Thing in Asian cookery. Shreddies
or Rice Krispies or even Wheaties are used as
fry coating. There's a Nestle product not
available over here which is heavily flavored
with vanilla - it's become a key ingredient in
one of the top-selling seafood dishes in
Singapore, the appropriately named cereal prawns;
I prefer the same dish made with vast quantities
of butter, in which case it takes on the equally
appropriately name of butter prawns.
... One rotten egg doesn't spoil a dozen -- only when scrambled.
Which is the reason for the quaint old custom
of breaking your eggs into a separate dish
before adding it to the rest of your batter.
Lilli got into a fit of locavorism and got
some eggs from a farm that she'd gone to
when raising her family decades ago but
gradually tapered off from patronizing. There
was one rotten one on average per dozen. That
cured that urge and explained the tapering off.
