Music and MePosted by admin on February 21st, 2012

I am currently organizing my iTunes music playlist and didn’t realize I already have thousands of songs! I specifically have a lot of dance tunes, with a lot of them employing peavey mixers, and I am still looking for more!

I do have my share of love songs and sentimental tunes, but at this point in my life when I am happy – I love being happy and dont want to get sappy!

BookbagsPosted by admin on February 20th, 2012

School is almost over for my kids and they can’t wait to retire their bags and take a break from studying for two months for a vacation. The eldest is looking forward to getting a new north face bookbag though as I promised him that he can get a new one this coming schoolyear. I let them get a new bag every other schoolyear, to be practical and teach them to take care of their stuff.

Travel Nurse Companies OpportunitiesPosted by admin on February 19th, 2012

There are a number of nursing graduates in most countries nowadays, but almost everyone of them would end up doing something not related to their major (e.g. English Teacher, Call Center Agents) because of the lack of demand for job openings. Recently, there’s a new occupation that’s catches attention to nursing graduates – a travel nurse.

A travel nurse is similar to a nurse in the hospital but the only difference is he or she works on the field with a specific duty to accomplish. They choose and travel to places where they want to do their assigned task.

This kind of occupation requires focus and dedication to work. They are to set their career goals to find more opportunities in this field. Accordingly, there are a number of travel nurse companies that hire qualified nurses to be working on their team.

A common procedure for travel nursing companies is that the hired travel nurse will have to choose where he or she wants to go and the agency brings them there. They then find the tasks suited for the needs and qualifications of the nurse, and the work begins.

These travel rn jobs would build a network of healthcare industry contacts, meet new comrades, and can give an outstanding working experience for all travel nurses. I’m sure that it will be a life-changing event in any nurse’s life.

An Efficient WorkstationPosted by admin on February 6th, 2012

I have been scouring Pinterest for a small workspace that can fit my 27in iMac and still leave room for my knick-knacks. Most of the workstations I see have small computer monitors OR big spaces and sadly, I don’t have both. I have a very small area for my work station and I really want to maximize it.

Here is something that might work for me though:

2. Check out Barcelona Chair Reproduction. Vintage mid-century pieces can be very expensive that average home owners might not be able to afford it.
