Kim at Emergiblog, asked me to host Vol 4, number 19 edition of Change of Shift.  On April Fool’s Day!!!

Well the jokes on you, I decided not to do it…..

April Fool!!!!!

And for you non-nursing readers, Change of Shift is a nursing blog carnival. There are great posts here, health care discussions that you will enjoy,  so check it out.  Hey, with all the medical shows out there, you probably have an advanced degree in medical lingo -right!

Thanks for visiting here at The Millionaire Nurse-my growth has been phenomenal in the past 6 months, thanks to folks like Kim, who still support new-comers to the web!

In Honor of April Fools Day, I thought I would share quotations that use the word “Fool.”  See if you recognize any of them.

“When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So what the hell, leap.” Cynthia Heime

So here goes:

From “Off the Charts” at the American Journal of Nursing has a post about the AJN’s stance on the National Nurse Initiative.

Digital Doorway has a post about The National Nurse Act of 2010.

From Beka at Medscape Nurses Blog, this post about Health Care reform, certainly a timely topic, on which we all agree……(That is an April Fool’s joke right there.)  And if you are not signed up with Medscape, you will have to do so to read, but you might as well sign up.  Great place to visit…

“He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask a question remains a fool forever.” Chinese Proverbs

by Dave Hamster

From Nurse Practitioner School Blog, this post gives you 100 reasons, yes 100 reasons to become a nurse.  See if you can find your reason here.

And Wendy, at Nurse PTO, asks “When did nurses become pencil pushers?????” I could add Doc’s to the paper/pencil pushers list….

“Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain but it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving.” Dale Carnegie

And at “The Dog Ate My Careplan”  (Got to love that name, used that excuse in 6th grade math homework)  writes about Med Math in this post, with equations and everything….

J. Paradisi RN’s Blog, this post about workplace violence-something that should be of concern to all.

“You can educate a fool, but you cannot make him think.” The Talmud

And from Kim, at Emergiblog, this post about latte’s and life that is confronted daily in the ER-just need to add the Haldol allergy….

And from See Jane Nurse, a post about stress-stress as a nurse, why would you have stress-being underpaid and overworked…..

“He who is born a fool is never cured.” Proverb

Nurse Debbie, gives us a list of 25 great pediatric blogs….She also has recently posted about 25 celebrity docs on twitter-she left me out, but I am @DrDeanBurke (the host can take a few liberties, right….)

And from the American Journal of Nursing blog, a Brit’s take on our health care debate.

From Health Insurance Providers, a timeline of the various health care bills changes and when they occur-interesting reading-but requires focus-not that it is complicated or anything!!!!

That is all, enough reading to get you past April Fools Day…

Thanks for the submissions, and please visit each blogger, and take the time to comment-sometimes it gets lonely out here….

Have a great Easter!!!!! from my family to yours.
