Cool MySpace Backgrounds

I’ve always thought nurses had a glamorous job, based on what I saw from the movie Pearl Harbor. Scenario: very pretty nurse tends a wounded soldier and they fall in love and live happily ever after. However, reality is actually quite much different.

I’ve met quite a plethora of nursing students lately. With the demand of nurses in the US, UK, UAE and other countries, students (even doctors and some other professionals hailing from other fields) suddenly flock to take up nursing courses, lulled by the promise of greener pastures. It all seems so easy and the practical way to earn lots of money, but then I find out differently. Apparently, you have to first pass the NCLEX and IELTS exam, and the board exam, which only has a 60% passing rate. After which, you have to have at least 1-2 years’ worth of experience in hospitals. And get this, you even have to PAY the hospital to train you! Isn’t that totally funny? It’s like you have to pay your boss to let you work in his company! Sounds quite scammish to me! *LOL* And because right now there’s just sooo many nursing graduates, there’s a surplus of supply and the demand is becoming quite low. Apparently, according to a nurse I talked to, the US isn’t even hiring nurses anymore from the Philippines till 2010.

But anyway, let’s preserve the image of the nurse having quite a glamorous job. Here’s a MySpace background that perfectly encapsulates it. I got it from www.mygirlyspace.com

Now this is what guys want their nurses to look like! I do believe she forgot to put on her skirt! This is a kind of poster that belongs to a cartoonish Playboy magazine. *LOL* Her shoes look really weird though! Surrounding the pretty nurse is a backdrop of all things nursing. For instance, you have the watch, the injection, stethoscope, band-aid, thermometer, and other things that I don’t even know the name of. Red, gray and black basically dominate the colors of this MySpace background. The red is very much appropriate, considering that red is the color of passion, of amour, and the nurse having red hair and red stockings is a testament to that, since it’s a color meant to attract a guy.
