Los Angeles, CA (FV Newswire) - Results from this recent survey on Chatterbean.com, an interactive quiz site on pop culture trends, indicate that a surprising number of participants might be suited for a nursing career. The career quiz, entitled "Could Nursing be Your Passion," asked what people might do with a few hours of free time (http://www.chatterbean.com/nurse). A surprising 34 percent of respondents indicated they would prefer to volunteer their free time helping people. The second most popular response with 28 percent was visiting with a dear friend.
Chatterbean.com's numbers provide hope to an industry where demand for registered nurses has exceeded supply for some years. According to projections by the Health Resources and Services Administration, the U.S. will only have 64 percent of the nurses needed by the year 2020.

Golf history gives Bogey lots of food for thought
The Bogeyman took a field trip on Thursday. He was cordially invited to attend a session of the "Enrichment Program" at Sunset Country Club.
Ol' Bogey associates the word nourishment with the word enrichment, and, of course, he associates the word food with the word nourishment. No sportswriter worth his byline ever passes on an opportunity to be around complimentary food.
Often times, where there is food, a sports event breaks out, and as writers of sport, we feel compelled to chronicle the competition. High schools and small colleges in the area sometimes get frustrated with the lack of coverage they get for their sports. My first question to these complainers is, "Did you put out a spread?"
As suspected, there was, indeed, food at Sunset, a delectable breakfast buffet.
Your Brain: An owner's manual
If the mere sight of your 15-year-old daughter's best friend's butt crack hanging out of her low-rise" jeans doesn't alarm you just a little, then maybe you're still young enough at heart to also appreciate the iPod, MySpace and a Justin Timberlake serenade.
Some good friends of mine are parents of teenagers. A few nights ago they invited my husband and me to their home for dinner while the kids, Katie and Joey, were at a costume party. When we arrived, Mom was absorbed in Katies laptop; in particular, she was trying to parse through the pastiche of party pics, teen slang and dazzling colors that is the girls MySpace page. Finally, she threw up her hands in resignation, Dont know what Im supposed to be finding on here its chaos, she said as she poured herself another glass of wine.
Anti-War Group Objects to Army Advergaming
Anti-recruitment groups are slamming a U.S. Army deal to sponsor a computer war game channel, saying that real war is no game, reports Australian IT. In June, the Army is set to sponsor a channel at the Global Gaming League website, a popular spot for internet computer game lovers. A first-person shooter game based on the army training manual will be a centerpiece of the channel, which will feature other games in the same genre. Oskar Castro of the "admittedly anti-war" American Friends Service Committee said it is wrong for military recruiters to use technology and pop culture to entice young people to enlist without showing them the ugly sides of service. Play at the channel will be free, but agreeing to "additional contact from the Army" comes with signing up as a player.
