The attendees don't seem to pay much mind
Ricky Gervais drank beer on stage, Colin Farrell chewed gum, Sally Hawkins came so perilously close to having an actual nervous breakdown that aid from Emma Thompson was required, Mickey Rourke thanked his dogs and Steven Spielberg gave possibly the most boring acceptance speech in the history of awards.
What else to say, really? The 2009 Golden Globes ceremony -- well, it was better than last year's. Of course, that wasn't too hard considering that last year the writers strike kept everyone away and the awards were announced in a monotone roll call by such luminaries as Mary Hart.
So the sight of all those pretty people in their pretty clothes filling the ballroom of the Beverly Hilton offered some reassurance in an otherwise confusing time (although the proliferation of Brian Grazer hair -- Colin Farrell, Robert Downey Jr., Kevin Bacon -- was a bit alarming). Not that anyone mentioned the writers strike or the still possible actors strike, or the economy, or virtually anything else outside the confines of the Hollywood bubble. Sacha Baron Cohen got stink eye and murmurs of disapproval just for making a Guy Ritchie joke. (Sacha, just be thankful Sean Penn wasn't there to wrist-slap you as he did Oscar host Chris Rock for his infamous Jude Law jest.)
Still, the evening was not without its Moments of Significance. In danger of becoming the Susan Lucci of award season, Kate Winslet actually won! Twice! And then, in perhaps the very best moment of the evening, she forgot Angelina Jolie's name!
Heath Ledger took best supporting film actor for "The Dark Knight" and for the first and only time during the three hours, the champagne-swilling, chattering-through-acceptance-speeches audience joined in silence and applause.
Oh, and Tracy Morgan announced that Tina Fey promised him that if Barack Obama won, he, Morgan, would become the new spokesman for the multiple-award-winning "30 Rock."
Otherwise, the ceremony did what it always does -- bring TV and movie people together under the same roof ("We're TV actors," Rainn Wilson announced to high hilarity just before he and Hayden Panettiere presented the best television drama award to "Mad Men") and act as the ultimate Oscar prognosticator. Odds look good for " Slumdog Millionaire," Winslet and Rourke (the shout-out to his dogs may have sealed the deal).
Watching the three hours creep by, one is struck by the major difference between the Oscars and the Golden Globes. No, it's is not just the breadth and value of the respective judges (the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences vs. a handful of Hollywood-based foreign journalists), it's that the Oscars attempts to be a television show and the Golden Globes does not.
No host, no opening monologue, no breakaway skits, no musical numbers, no huge evocative and ever-changing stage -- the Golden Globes is a televised awards presentation that relies totally on the apparently worldwide desire to see movie and television stars wearing fancy clothes, making a few jokes, saying nice things about each other and occasionally breaking down in tears. (Really, between Hawkins and Winslet you have to wonder what happened to that famous British stoicism. Did it end with Thompson, who once made it a point to tell everyone she kept her Oscars in the loo?)
On the one hand, this is the best thing about the Globes: It is what it is, no frills. Ricky Gervais (is it really too late to ask him to host the Oscars?) can stroll out on stage, take a sip of beer and lecture the audience -- "Shush. How rude are you lot? Just because you're a bunch of famous film stars . . . " Don Cheadle can rib the Coen brothers for never casting him in one of their films, and winners get more than 75 seconds to make their acceptance speeches.
This last, of course, is both a blessing and a curse, leading this year to the strange yet undeniable dignity of Rourke's gratitude to those who took a chance on him and also an irritating second round of tears and gasps from Winslet, who seemed to have left her sense of humor in the loo. (Yes, darling, we know this is the first time you've won Globes but it's not as if you were previously doomed to a life of quiet desperation.)
But then you catch those camera sweeps of the room and you realize that no one at the party is paying much attention anyway. So really, why should we?Copyright © 2014, Sun Sentinel

Oct. 19 (Bloomberg) -- The cost of living in the U.S. probably eased September, a sign inflation may moderate as Federal Reserve officials have forecast, economists said before a report today.
Consumer prices climbed 0.3 percent, the smallest gain in three months, according to the median forecast of 78 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. Separate data may show homebuilding rebounded in September from the slowest pace since May.
Companies like clothing retailer Gap Inc. and supermarket chain Safeway Inc. have said they are limited in how much they can raise prices to recoup raw-materials costs as weak job and income gains squeeze consumers. With inflation less of a concern, Fed policy makers would have the flexibility to take additional steps should the world's largest economy stumble.
"Inflation is around where the Fed would like it to be," said Jim O'Sullivan, chief economist at MF Global Inc. in New York. "On the growth side, the recovery has been disappointing, and they're worried it could falter."
The Labor Department will issue the consumer price index at 8:30 a.m. today in Washington. Economists' estimates ranged from little changed to gains of 0.4 percent.
The so-called core index, which excludes volatile food and fuel costs, increased 0.2 percent for a third consecutive month, according to the survey median.
Also at 8:30 a.m., a Commerce Department report may show housing starts climbed 3.3 percent to a 590,000 annual pace, according to the Bloomberg survey median. Estimates ranged from 560,000 to 643,000.
Permits Forecast
Building permits, a sign of future construction, fell 2.4 percent last month from August, to a 610,000 pace, the data may also show.
Most Fed officials at the Sept. 20-21 meeting anticipated core and headline inflation was "likely to settle, over coming quarters, at or below the levels they see as most consistent with their dual mandate," according to minutes released on Oct. 12.
"With stable inflation expectations, significant slack in labor and product markets, slow wage growth, and little evidence of pricing power among firms, inflation was likely to decline moderately over time," the minutes said. Participants also saw "considerable uncertainty surrounding the outlook for a gradual pickup in economic growth."
Investor concern about a slowdown in economies from Europe and China to the U.S. has damped energy prices. Crude oil for November delivery closed yesterday at $88.36 a barrel at the New York Mercantile Exchange, down 22 percent from this year's high of $113.93 reached on April 29.
Cheaper Fuel
The cost of a gallon of regular gasoline at the pump averaged $3.59 in September, down from $3.62 the prior month, according to data from AAA, the nation's largest auto group. Fuel has fallen further since then, reaching $3.47 on Oct. 17.
The outlook on inflation is in sync with retailers' moves. A jump in cotton expenses hurt Gap's Old Navy stores that sell more clothing made of the material, yet it "chose not to raise prices commensurate with cost given the impact of the tough economy on our customers," Chief Financial Officer Sabrina Simmons said on a conference call with analysts on Oct. 13.
Steven Burd, chairman and chief executive officer of Safeway, said inflation was "predominantly in perishable categories" and fuel, while there were "a couple of categories that actually had deflation." Shoppers at the Pleasanton, California-based company remain "very conscious" of the price tag, he said.
The CPI is the broadest of three price gauges from the Labor Department because it includes goods and services. Almost 60 percent of the index covers prices consumers pay for services ranging from medical visits to airline fares, movie tickets and rents.
A report yesterday showed producer prices rose 0.8 percent in September, while the import-price index, released last week, climbed 0.3 percent. The pipeline pressures, reflecting a surge in raw materials expenses earlier this year, may wane as slower global growth subdues demand.

(Adds bank shares in sixth paragraph.)
Dec. 1 (Bloomberg) -- The Riksbank has no need to set up a new dollar swap line with the U.S. Federal Reserve because Swedish banks have access to dollar market funding, Deputy Governor Barbro Wickman-Parak said.
"We have constant contact with the market and know what's happening and the banks have access to the kind of financing they need, including dollar financing, and we then don't need to do anything" at the moment, she said today in an interview in Stockholm.
The Riksbank has warned that Swedish lenders rely too much on short-term dollar funding, and earlier this week said that the lenders remain vulnerable to liquidity risk. Banks in other parts of Europe have had difficulties accessing dollars and it was "good" that the European Central Bank took part in yesterday's coordinated action with the Fed to provide dollar liquidity to the continent's banks, she said.
Stocks rallied worldwide, commodities rose and yields on most European debt fell yesterday after the Fed, ECB and four other central banks cut the cost of and extended emergency dollar loans to banks outside the U.S. Sweden's dollar swap-line with the Fed expired in February 2010.
"European banks are in a difficult situation. They are dependent on dollar financing," Wickman-Parak said. "All that eases the stress on the market is good."
Shares Fall
Shares in the four largest Swedish banks fell today, after surging yesterday. Shares in Nordea Bank AB, the Nordic region's largest bank, fell 0.9 percent, after rallying almost 6 percent yesterday. SEB AB fell 0.8 percent, Svenska Handelsbanken AB dropped 0.1 percent, and Swedbank AB slid 0.5 percent.
The 46-member Bloomberg index of European financials rose 0.2 percent as of 1:57 p.m. in Stockholm.
The central banks acted after financing costs rose following euro-area leaders' failure to bolster the region's rescue fund as planned. A crisis that began in Greece two years ago has moved to the euro-area's core and leaders are struggling to convince investors they can contain the risk and assure the euro's survival.
Sweden has emerged as a haven from the deepening European debt crisis. The Riksbank said on Nov. 29 that while the country's lenders are "well capitalized" it also warned "liquidity risks are still higher than in many other European banks," in a twice yearly financial stability report.

Newbie starting tomorrow
Hi, everyone! I have been researching and considering trying Stillman's for a long time. I am a veteran low-carber, but my losses have slowed recently and I'm looking to mix it up a little. I am impressed with the results folks seem to get on this plan, and think it's something I could maintain in the short term before going back to "regular" low carb. Also doesn't hurt that I have a big family wedding coming up in three weeks, and I'd like to look nice! :) I have a couple of questions I'd love some help with though:
1) When I read the Stillman's 14-Day plan, it includes veggies. I have noticed most folks don't seem to be eating them, though, on the plan. Explain?
2) Is it ok to marinate meats in vinegar/water and spices? (no oil) -- what about a pre-packaged marinade (5 cal per serving, 0 carb)?
3) Artificial sweeteners -- do you use them and do you notice any stalls from them?
Thanks very much for your help -- I will post progress and I'm sure I'll be on here bugging y'all with more questions!
Wanted to post one more thing (yep, I'm one of those sad and annoying people replying to my own thread -- lol)-- my stats are still correct, although the last time they were updated was over four years ago. How depressing is that? :( I have been up to 15 pounds higher since then, but have lost it over the past six months. For about 10 years now, I've been dreaming of Onederland -- and that is my current goal. I need to REALLY get there this time -- any advice appreciated. :)
welcome deen.
I would avoid veggies as they are carbs. The original stillman diet doesnt include those. Most people here dont eat vegggies.
Marinated meats might be fine..as long as they are lean meats.
Artificial sweeters do cause stall in many people. Even I had stall when I was taking diet coke. I would avoid it if you are looking for quick weight loss.
good luck.
Most of us do Stillman's QWL (quick weight loss) plan. Take a look at the stickies at the top of thee page. You will love how you feel as the weight comes off. Come join us on the July thread! We would love to have you!
Thanks, I will definitely come joing the July thread. :)
Hi Deen. I am also a LC'er starting Stillmans today. I am getting closer to my ideal weight, and these last 10 lbs. or so are being very stubborn. I figured if I cycled my fat intake by doing low / high weeks for a couple weeks, it might get things going again. We could keep each other motivated. Todays menu for me:
B: 3 hard-boiled eggs
L: 8 oz. chicken breast
D: 8 oz. chicken breast
I have a feeling going cold-turkey on the fats is going to keep me hungry all the time, but people on here report not being hungry, although members seem to cheat alot doing this, but overall they still lose a lot. I'll check in a couple times a day and let you know how things are going. Good luck! :)
Hey there -- happy first day, Gladee and good luck to you too! So far, so good for me -- I don't feel hungry at all (probably still in ketosis, since I'm mostly paleo/low carb anyway. Although I did have some chili with beans last night -- lol) Here's what I'm eating today:
breakfast: turkey sausage and tea (1 g carb, 7 g fat)
Lunch: shrimp cocktail (sugar-free cocktail sauce), 2 oz low fat cottage cheese
(6g carbs, 2g fat)
snack: sugar-free jello
Dinner: Chicken breast (O g carb, 1 g fat)
tea, water, coffee, seltzer, crystal light
In your opinion, is the crystal light and sugar-free jello going to mess me up? I know they're not the best for you and people tend to get stalled on them. Interested in people's thoughts...
That looks pretty good Deen. Personally, I've used AS on LC for the past year or so and still lost a lot of weight, but on Stillmans plan, I'm staying away from it. Going so low-fat may increase my appitite, so I don't want to take the chance of craving anything.
As far as sugar-free jello goes, that to me is a non-food, and I don't see the point in even eating it. Eating this low-calorie, you should be striving for the best nutritional bang for your buck! At this point I'm not eating for enjoyment. If I enjoy food too much, all I think about is eating. :D You're better off eating another chicken breast, but hey...if you like it, and you're still losing, I say have at it ;)
Just had lunch WAY earlier than I normally would if I would have had my normal, higher fat breakfast. I can see I'd better pick up another family pak of chicken breasts while I'm ramming the roads today :doh:
No more -- I'm serious this time -- I don't want to sacrifice a whole day of good eating on some crystal light and sugar-free boiled hooves! So, ok -- I'm inspired now -- I'm going to try to stay as clean as possible. Haven't had the cottage cheese yet -- just don't want it. Yet. I'm sure the evening will be a different story -- since that is usually my most craving-heavy time.
How do you do at night, Gladee -- and what do you do for exercise?
Hi there,
On Stillman's, you are allowed to eat as much of what's on the menu to satisfy your appetite. It is NOT a calorie counting plan.
You can eat as many times as you need to of eggs, lean meats, low fat cottage cheese, etc.
Drink lots of water!
If you need a snack between meals, eat a hard boiled egg, or a couple more ounces of lean meat or low fat cottage cheese.
Last night was the first time I drank a couple glasses of Crystal Light. Did not deter from the plan at all. Today, I'm up .5... so I'm going to watch that and see if that is the culprit!
Finally got to "ONEDERLAND"! Now for the next 10#. I kind of make these mini small 10# increments for me because they seem to make a big difference in how I feel and my clothes fit.
Have a successful weight loss day, staying on Stillman's plan!
As for the evenings, I've got them down for the most part. I've found that upping my fat during the day has helped with late-night eating. The Leptin Reset "big breakfast" works very well for me. I try not to eat after 7:00 p.m., but if I do, it is some protein mixed with broccoli and cauliflour, or a tbls. of Coconut oil.
As for exercise, currently I am only working out with weights. I try to hit each bodypart twice a week. I used to do 45 minutes, 6 days a week on the cybex stairmater at Planet Fitness, but I think I ate a little more when I was doing it. Still made me feel better, and look better. At the moment, it's too damn hot to even get out of the chair :annoyed:
I have to admit Deen, low carbs and low fat has me feeling really crappy at the moment, but I'm going to try to white-knuckle it until Saturday. I thought where I was already following strict LC this would be a breeze, but that dosen't seem to be the case at the moment. Maybe I'm detoxing off the AS's...not really sure? I miss the veges and the butter at the moment too. Things should get better tomorrow. Ideally, I'd like to train myself to be able to go between this and my regular LC plan to get ripped! Good luck getting through tonight :D You can do it!!
Sorry to hear you're not feeling great, Gladee -- hopefully it's just temporary. And, yes, it could be the withdrawal from the AS's. So far, so good for me -- it felt a little weird frying up my turkey sausage in a dry pan this morning -- I'm so used to using a generous pat o' butter (and man, do I love my butter). So far no cravings, though. I mean, I don't love the food (or lack of variety), but I don't hate it either. It's just kind of there -- fuel and nothing else. I took your advice and had some leftover pork from a past dinner in lieu of the sf jello. :) Soooo... tomorrow the scale shall reveal all! lol Good luck.
p.s. -- I bought those little cottage cheese cups (they're 2%, I think) that have the same 'active live cultures' as Activia yogurt -- maybe those would help you with the portion control?
I looked at some fat free cottage cheese today, and I think I could safely eat about 1/2 the container and only get 15 gms. of carbs, so I may pick some up in a couple days. I'm going to try to tough it out with this chicken and egg thing for a few more days if I can. Glad you ditched the jello today. The protein is a much better choice. Let me know how tommorrow goes. Stay focused on the light at the end of the tunnel! :)
Here we go Deen! Day 2. Just finished 3 scrambled eggs with 1 chicken breast. Heading out to get my coffee right now (black...no cream or AS). I can tell I lost some water weight already. This is starting to show some promise already. Lunch will be 1 chicken breast. Dinner will be 1 chicken breast. I'm starting to see a pattern develop here :sick:
Oh yeah...good luck today. Stay strong!!
Ok, day 2 -- here we come! Well, I've already been worse today... lol Not too bad -- I snagged a few bites of the sugar-free jello. It was calling to me. My menu's going to be exactly the same as yesterday's, and I've already had the turkey sausage and tea. Did you weigh yet? I couldn't resist -- 2 lbs down from yesterday morning. I'll take it! :)
I had some shrimp last night with cocktail sauce and a bite of chicken. No cottage cheese or hard boiled egg. Down 1.5# today, so I am a happy camper. Tonight I'm making talapia with either eggs or cottage cheese. I notice a much bigger loss if I do fish at night. Have you tried it?
Can I jump in late on this? Pretty please? I started this morning, so far it has been eggs, egg drop soup and dinner a lean pork chop. 100oz of water daily.
137 this morning, Im thinking to stay on until 132, then head back to induction.
I'm going to get some digital scales tomorrow so I can track things over the next couple of weeks. I was a little sceptical at first, but this definately works. First time in my life I have done both LC and low fat at the same time. I have zero hunger. I'm just now eating my second meal of the day at 3:30 p.m. I ate breakfast at 8:00 a.m. Thank God my AS hangover is gone too :)
If you want it more 'asian' Add a little tiny bit of low carb soy sauce, a drop of sesame oil, and maybe a little finely chopped green onion.
That sounds really good. I've never used sesame oil in my cooking. I need to add that to my pantry. Well, my "pantry" is actually just a cabinet above my sink in my RV :D
Hey, FoxyLady and Remykins -- nice to have you on board! Today went pretty well -- did have the sf jello, but I tried a ketostick later in the day and still seemed to be in very good ketosis. Will see what the scale says tomorrow, though... Here was my menu for the day:
B: 2 turkey sausage, tea
L: Shrimp cocktail, sf cocktail sauce
Snack: low fat cottage cheese cup, sf jello
D: 2 pieces cod, sauteed in chicken broth and a 1/4 c. wine (1 carb per 1 cup serving of the wine)
And drank all my water. From the sound of it, you're doing awesome, guys -- good luck and good night!
Great job Deen! I had same as yesterday, except I added a chicken breast to my 3 eggs this morning, and one black coffee.
L: 8 oz. chicken breast
D: 8 oz. chicken breast
only water today afyer the morning coffee. No cravings at all today. This isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Ready for more of the same tomorrow! Good luck everyone, and good night.
Ok, made it through. I ended up having more egg drop soup- maybe it was the salt because today I am up .2lbs.
Ok, today i am going to extremely clean, second day is always easier for me than the first detox day.
Hope everyone is feeling good this morning. Woke up this morning with zero hunger, so this should be an easy day.
B: 3 eggs, chicken breast, black coffee
L: 8 oz. chicken breast
D: 8 oz. chicken breast
supplements: 2 GMC mega-mens vitamins, 2 green tea tabs, 2 fish oil tabs, 10 grams L-Arginine. Good luck everyone!
B: Ground Turkey Breast patty
L: Herb Shrimp (5 jumbo)
S: 2 Scrambled Eggs
D: Beef Tenderloin 6oz trimmed-grilled
100oz of water, plus 2 diet sodas, one powerade zero.

In the 1960s, O'Hair successfully challenged the constitutionality of prayer in public schools, but alienated many moderates with her inflammatory rhetoric. She was kidnapped and killed in an extortion scheme in 1995.
"I think to try to shock people into it is just going to do what Madalyn did and set everyone against her," says Sellman, a graphics designer in Maryland.
Not all atheists have forsaken O'Hair's approach. This summer, Michael Newdow drew considerable public scorn for challenging the constitutionality of the words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Sellman says she mostly keeps her opinion on religion to herself. But it can be awkward when she tells people she does not believe in God, she says. "People have actually accosted me at work … and said, 'You don't believe in Jesus?" she says. "You're looked at like some kind of nut."
"I think it's hard to be a nonbeliever in America," says Michael Shermer, the head of the Skeptics Society. "We're such a minority."
Five Percent, Say the Experts: But Many Disagree
America is one of the most religious nations in the developed world, with far more people attending church and professing their faith than in many European countries, for example.
Roughly 5 percent of the population consider themselves nonbelievers, according to numerous polls, and that number has been relatively steady over recent decades, says Rodney Stark, a professor of the sociology of religion at the University of Washington.
"I've looked at polls going back to the 1930s and, hell, nothing's changed," Stark says.
Nonbelievers tend to think that number is artificially low, however. The American Atheists believe there are about 30 million "Godless" Americans.
"People don't always give accurate answers [to surveys and polls]," says Ed Buckner, of the Council for Secular Humanism.
Buckner points to a 2001 study by the City University of New York, which found a drop in religious identification over the past decade. In 1990, the report found 90 percent of the adult population identified with a particular religious group, such as Catholic or Jewish. In 2001, that figure dropped to 81 percent.
A 2001 ABCNEWS poll found that 13 percent of respondents said they had no religion.
"I do believe the number of people without religion is growing slowly," Buckner says.
Likewise, Reginald Finley, the host of the online "Live With the Infidel Guy," atheist radio show, is convinced large numbers of nonbelievers keep their views to themselves. "I get tons of e-mails from atheists in the closet," he says.
Some experts, such as Stark of the University of Washington, are skeptical, however. "The thing that's remarkable about American religion is how durable it is," says Stark, the sociologist of religion.
"No competent study has ever shown an increase in atheism in the United States," says Darren Sherkat, a sociologist at Southern Illinois University and an avowed atheist himself.
Complicating the question is the fact that there is no clear line between believers and nonbelievers. Some people say they are religious, but do not believe in a God that oversees the fates of human beings. Others have spiritual doubts and do not belong to an organized faith, but would not call themselves Godless or atheist.
"These categories aren't so easy," says Bruce Forbes, a United Methodist minister who is also a religious studies professor at Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa.

Seeking Stellar "Citizen Scientists" as White House Champions of Change
Every day, across the country, ordinary Americans known as "citizen scientists" make critical contributions to the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) by collecting, analyzing, and sharing a wide range of data—from weather phenomena, to sightings of migrating birds, to the timing of flower blooms at different latitudes. Now, the White House is preparing to honor some of the Nation's most effective contributors to these important but sometimes-overlooked public servants.
Public participation in scientific research, also known as citizen science, is not a new phenomenon. In fact, before the establishment of discipline-specific training programs in the 18th and 19th centuries, most scientific research was carried out by amateurs. Many of our country's most prominent scientists got their first taste of science by participating in citizen-science projects, and even today—despite the ascendance of a professional scientific corps—society has much to gain by including non-experts in the scientific enterprise. Among other benefits, public engagement in science can help citizens critically consider science-related public policy questions, make more informed decisions regarding the pros and cons of new technologies, and provide knowledgeable input about how tax dollars should be spent.
Today, advances such as Internet-based social media platforms and other information technology resources are increasingly allowing individuals to share information over large distances, enabling like-minded citizens to participate in research projects at unprecedented levels. Many practicing scientists today are discovering that citizen scientists play an indispensable role, by helping to collect and analyze data at unparalleled rates and over wide geographical distances.
To recognize the substantial contributions and achievements of citizen scientists across the Nation, the White House will host a Champions of Change event on Citizen Science on June 4, 2013. The White House Champions of Change program highlights the stories and examples of ordinary citizens who are doing extraordinary things for their communities, their country, and their fellow citizens. This event will focus on individuals or organizations that have demonstrated exemplary leadership in engaging the broader, non-expert community in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) research. Of particular interest are efforts by individuals or organizations to include women, the economically disadvantaged, persons with disabilities, and racial and ethnic minorities underrepresented in STEM.
Do you know a citizen science leader who is using citizen science to help catalyze positive change in his or her community? Members of the public are invited to nominate candidates for consideration.
Click here to nominate a Citizen Science Champion of Change before April 30, 2013 (under "Theme of Service," choose "Citizen Science").

ICU in community hospital or Stepdown in academic hospital
- 2May 8, '12 by SEWRNHi to all ICU RN's/CRNA's,
I'm a new grad with full-time immersion experience in the ICU and am hoping to become an ICU nurse, and possibly a CRNA one day. I know that I'll need to get experience in the ICU as a prerequisite, however I do have a dilemma that I would appreciate some advice on:
I have a job offer in an ICU at a smaller community hospital (where I did my immersion) and a potential job offer on a stepdown unit at a large, university teaching hospital. I am stuck in between the two because I feel that the patient acuity in the smaller hospital would not give me enough learning experience to prepare me for CRNA school (~30% mechanically ventilated, but more opportunities for titratable drips/ART)---most of the very critical patients are transferred out into teaching hospitals and we also get stepdown patients since the hospital doesn't have a stepdown unit. If I take the job offer, I THINK I might have to eventually apply to a teaching hospital's ICU in order to gain adequate experience.
On the other hand, the teaching hospital would give me a wider range of learning experiences but I might have to start on a stepdown unit and not be guaranteed an internal transfer to an ICU. So I might lose some time in the ICU. If I choose this option, I hope to transfer to an ICU in less than a year.
So my question from your experience, is it better to start at smaller hosp ICU and apply to larger hosp later? or it is better/realistic to start at the larger hospital's stepdown and do internal transfer?
which would be a better/quicker/more "guaranteed" option to gaining ICU experience (n an academic center one day) that would ultimately benefit my goal of becoming an ICU nurse and becoming a CRNA one day? This is simply a question of which would be a better option to get to my career goal and not where I can "get my feet wet" as I am very confident I will be able to pick up skills quickly even if I am to start in an ICU immediately.
Any insight would be helpful! Thanks!
- 0May 10, '12 by Bottomed outStart in the ICU.
- 0May 23, '12 by Bottomed outBecause you will see both stepdown and ICU pts. If you take the stepdown, you will be sending them to the ICU if they start to deteriorate. Plus with your goals you set for yourself you need ICU experience. Even though its a small ICU just transfer after 1-2 years to a bigger ICU unit that is more specialized like CTICU or CVICU to increase your chances of CRNA school.
- 0Jun 27, '12 by SICU_MurseSEWRN -- Congrats on the job offer! In todays job market I would tell you to take any job you are offered, just to get your foot in the door! It seems, from reading your post, your torn between a community ICU and university step-down unit.
Let me tell you a little about my experience...as a new grad I worked for ~8 months on a tele floor in a community hospital before moving into the SICU at that same hospital. While the time I spend on the tele floor was HELL (mainly because I knew I wanted to be in the ICU post graduation) I do have to say I gained the time management skills and basic assessment skills needed to flourish in the ICU. When you start out on the floor you dont have the technology and invasive hemodynamic monitoring to rely on so you need to depend more heavily on your basic physical assessment skills. I feel as though the time I spent working tele made me a better ICU nurse. I feel this way because I see so many ICU nurses looking at the numbers on the monitors and forgetting about utilizing their basic assessment skills. People tend to forget that when people go downhill the patient will display changes (in mentation, changes in physical assessment, urine output, etc.) before the monitor will display those critical changes.
After a year in the SICU I was offered a per deim position working in the critical care float pool at a large university teaching hospital. In my opinion, working in a community ICU is more difficult than working in a univirsity ICU...mainly because the community hospitals simply dont have the "resources" -- mostly at night (I work 7pm-7am). I feel like community ICU RNs gain invaluable experience because they need to function with a higher level of autonomy, you dont have all the interns, residents, and fellows walking around to rely on. If you dont think you will get the experience you need to for CRNA school in a community ICU you are wrong. And you could use the points made above to argue that community ICU experience is just as valuable, if not more valuable than university ICU experience.
Sure we dont have as many Swans, we dont do open heart, we dont have CVVHD, we may not prone patients, and we may not ambulate our mech. vents, etc. but there is so much that we do do that there is to learn when your a new grad.
I hope this post gives you some insight! TAKE THE ICU JOB!
- 0Jun 27, '12 by BiffbradfordI say go straight to the large hospital and get your foot in the door. Put in your time in the step down unit (which will probably have more complex patients than the small town ICU), make some connections, and move into the ICU there. The sickest patient in the small ICU (that's not comfort care), is probably just a 'typical' large hospital ICU patient that you'd see every day.
- 0Jun 29, '12 by CherylRNBSNI have worked at all varieties: small community, regional med center, and TX med center academic hospital.
I encourage you to go to academic hospital. You will see FAR more complex, high acuity cases. After 6 months, tx to ICU.
I think that is really the most direct path to get to where you want to go.
SOME small Icus are barely ICUs. More like a stepdown! I have seen a week go by without a vented pt. BORING.
As a potential CRNA, you NEED the hemodynamic monitoring experience. ANd the sickest pts. And the residents and fellows to learn from.
ANd you will save yourself two orientations. ANd academic hospital on resume will ONLY help you. The longer the better.
Good luck. I am applying at academic hospital which will require one hr commute each way, I feel so strongly about this.
- 0Jul 2, '12 by blucrnaI know you probably have decided which to take by now but I'm going to advise that you take the ICU position. For one thing it gets your clock started and it's experience that you can use to transfer to that bigger hospital in the future. Small ICU or not, you can still technically apply for anesthesia schools in one year if you feel comfortable doing so. Even if the step down position does have higher acuity, no crna school will accept it. And say you work in the step down and then want to transfer there has to A) be an opening for you to transfer 2 and B) the unit manager must actually hire you (remember you wont be the only one to apply for the spot). Always go with the sure thing!

The Genesis of Four Works from the 1960s T-Relief Pain Ointment 100 Gram Will Barnet Giorgio Morandi Editorial Reviews: SynopsisThe World in a Frame presents forty-six poems by Emily Dickinson and twenty-four drawings by Will Barnet. Barnet's respect and love for Dickinson's poetry sing from the drawings reproduced in this book. From his portraits of the artist ("To pity those that know her not / Is helped by the regret / That those who know her, know her less / The nearer her they get") to his drawing of a cricket on a blade of grass ("But witness for her land, / And witness for her sea, / The cricket is her utmost / Of elegy to me") to his picture of a tree full of crows ("The saddest noise, the sweetest noise, /The maddest noise that grows, -- /The birds, they make it in the spring, / At night's delicious close"), Barnet captures the essence of the poet's work.

Should I add adornment to new hood?
Mary Grant Justin
December 8, 2012 in Design Dilemma
Hi, just got my hood installed. I'm thinking it may need some scrolling on each side. I'm going to have a Tuscany vineyard mural under it so I'm not sure if I should wait to see if the hood needs anything after mural is installed. Any thoughts?
When in doubt, leave it out. I like it just the way it is !!!
1 Like December 8, 2012 at 4:20AM
You wouldn't want the range hood to compete for attention with your Tuscan tile mural. I think scroll work would be overkill.
Ralston Decorating Group
I have done a lot of Italian Villas and French Chateaus, wanted to ask you, someone is painting a mural above your stove? Is it tile? Now, the pure white will create too much of a contrast and it is not very rustic nor italian. What I would do, would be a very soft dry brushing glaze on the hood using a beige background and a dark brown glaze, which will only be visible on the creases on the wood. What does your back splash look like?? You want the mural to be part of the kitchen, not the kitchen, if you know what I mean, less is more, for sure, yet, if you can marry the hood with the mural, your kitchen will look more cohesive and beautiful. Hope it helps.

I think it will get too busy and the wall and hood will be competing for attention. Decide which you want to focus on and make that your busy one. Too much busy confuses the eye. Good luck

The mural will be on tumbled travertine. I will attach a pictur if I can. The hood already has some glazing but they put it just in the creases so I've asked them to do a little more feathering out (not sure if that is the proper terminology for that). The mural size is 28 W X 20 H. My kitchen island will be a darker wood that will match the glazing on the cream colored cabinets. Granite on counter tops and island is called sienna Bordeaux. (I'll try to attach pictures of this too). I'm going for a French/tuscany country type theme. So holding off doing anything else with the hood as you all have suggested sounds like the right way to go.
Aesthetic Tile Imaging
Since your mural is tumbled travertine, I suspect that the image is dye sublimation or another low heat transfer process. In my opinion, the finish is not really durable for installing behind a cook-top. If you need to clean grease spatter, you may very well damage the mural. Kiln-fired tile will not have this problem. If you're going to the expense of installing art in the kitchen, why not consider the more durable option? Please have a look at my Houzz profile page to learn more.
