2008-09-23 Residency Program Helps RNs Settle Into New Jobs
A structured, evidence-based, on-boarding program for new graduates is critical to their success," says Donna King, RN, BSN, MBA, CNA-BC, FACHE, vice president of clinical operations and chief nurse executive at Advocate Illinois Masonic. "Its a wonderful bridge no matter where they end up practicing. You are strengthening the foundation of their technical skills as well as their ability to navigate in the clinical area. "
Advocate Illinois Masonic noted a spike in applications throughout the Midwest, correlating to two to three applicants for every vacancy rather than one for one. New graduates are looking for residencies. Morse says the program has allowed the hospital to be more selective in its hiring, now about 90 pct. BSN graduates. In addition, the hospital has hired more nurses than it had vacant positions. If a nurse leaves because of natural transitions, the hospital can fill the void immediately.

2008-09-23 High-flying PM hops off when home base beckons-Opinion-Editorial-General-The Canberra Times
The jet doesnt have a special name; its just the PMs plane. Other leaders have gone in for something a bit more imaginative. The Popes aircraft is called Shepherd One, and the King of Malaysia uses the call sign Di Raja One. Privately, the Colombian people used to call their presidents old, noisy and juddering Fokker the Presidential Coffee Pot because it shook so much on take-off, although it quickly become much more notorious after another substance was discovered on board. Their drug-cartel-linked president, Ernesto Samper, was also about to fly to New York to address the United Nations.
All things going to schedule, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd wont be in Canberra to read the paper over breakfast this morning. He was scheduled to fly out last night on his RAAF jet. The jet doesnt .
2008-09-16 Football: Newcastle United fans raise hell and cause Mike Ashley to surrender Football The Guardian
Displaying a certain selective amnesia - remember how the replica-shirt-wearing, pint-swilling Ashley spent several months as "wor Mike, the toast of the Toon" after ousting the then-reviled former chairman, Freddy Shepherd - those fans variously bellowed "Cockneys out" and "Walking in a Keegan wonderland". One suspected that, had Shepherd suddenly appeared, he would have been lifted on to willing shoulders, garlanded with flowers and feted as a returning saviour.
In the 34th minute Hulls impressive Marlon King opened the scoring from the penalty spot after Nicky Butt felled Peter Halmosi. Wises failure to buy a left-back was one of the reasons Keegan resigned and watching the gifted but horribly out of position Charles NZogbia offer his ersatz interpretation of that role it was easy to see why. NZogbia was badly at fault for Kings second, allowing the striker to cut inside him and curl a fabulous left-footed shot beyond Shay Given.

2008-09-16 The Gulf News: Editorial One foot over the line
Its totally ridiculous for a Tory premier to actually campaign for Liberal and NDP party candidates. Its unheard of; it cuts deep against the grain of the fundamental guiding principles of political parties. Its a traitor-like approach by a sulking player who lost and fared a loss in a game of political marbles. He is pushing the voters of this province to be pawns in this childish game that can only serve this province a raw deal. Robbing this province of a voice in government is truly and totally shameful.
In the wake of a federal election, there is a new who cares attitude taking hold-a new apathy for politics-mainly because an unorthodox and risky liaison is happening between historical conflicting parties. The premier of this province is the engine be
