...curious to know why 38% of nurses say they would not want to be hospitalized in their own hospitals, yet they continue to endanger their professional reputations by affiliating themselves with institutions they feel give substandard care. I would insist on being hospitalized where quality care is provided-the hospital where I work...
...Power. Carter's advisers insist that he is serious and not seeking propaganda dividends when he advocates nuclear disarmament. It is this kind of idealism that worries many.

The Ed School course that reading tutors must take for training is not offered next semester and so far only half of the tutors have signed up to continue with the program. The tutors will insist on strict tutee attendence next semester. But a decision on an alternative training program for reading tutors must be made soon if the program is going to accept new reading tutees and maintain its current size...
