As we all know, there is a general national shortage of nurses right now. With so many other companies laying people off, most hospitals are still looking for extremely qualified nurses. For those with a nursing bachelor’s degree that are interested in pursuing higher education, Saint Xavier University offers an online Master of Science degree in nursing. The MS Nursing is part of the path for those desiring professional growth to become a Clinical Nurse Leader. Hospitals are very interested in hiring these leaders with graduate degrees into higher paying positions with more responsibilities. For busy nurses that can’t afford to go to graduate school for an extended period of time, online classes are just the thing to get another degree.

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009“The Lies of Locke Lamora” review
Tuesday, April 7th, 2009While waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting some more for the next chapter in George R. R. Martin’s ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ series to be written and released, I’ve started looking for other fantasy-type books to catch my interest. Martin’ site recommended checking out a new author, Scott Lynch.
“The Lies of Locke Lamora” is a tremendous first novel from a talented author. This fantasy world is instantly compelling and believable. In the tradition of Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser, Locke Lamora is a lovable rogue that begins life as an orphan, but quickly rises to be the most legendary and feared thief of Camorr.
The story rarely slows but does suffer a little from the non-linear storytelling. Locke and his fellow Gentlemen Bastards begin a daring heist to steal from the city’s nobles but soon find themselves caught in another scheme.
I’ve already bought and can’t wait to read the sequel.
