Becoming a licensed practical nurse is a rewarding job that allows a nurse to care for other people and it has a rewarding salary, while the disadvantages is the lack of sleep and the multiple hours that a nurse has to spend on his/her feet. Cathy Parker is a licensed practical nurse and also a clinical director at Bay Springs After Hours Clinic in Bay Springs,M.S. She has been a licensed practical nurse for twenty-eight years and a clinical director for thirteen years. Cathy has several reasons why she chose her career to be a licensed practical nurse. She says the main reason she chose to be a nurse is because one night at church a little boy had cut his arm and as she bandaged him up God called her to be a nurse. Her second reason she became a nurse is her love for people and wanting to see others properly cared for. As she cared for her elderly grandmother when she was a teenager it made her feel helpful to see someone smile while being cared for. Her favorite part of her job is to see someone who has been in pain, smile after being cared for.

Maggie Furey is a British novelist from Northumberland best known for the Artefacts of Power and the Creatures of Darkness series of Paranormal Fantasy Thrillers. Even as she was born and bred in Northumberland, England’s riches legend and lore filled county and a perfect setting for fantasy, she was never an active child. She was born with a rare heart condition that made it impossible for her to be physically active during her childhood. Given her condition she spent much of her time finding entertainment and adventure in all manners of books in which she could disappear in fantastical other worldly universes. As such, when other children were out climbing trees and riding bikes, she found solace by sailing with Amazons and Swallows and winning races with Jill and her horses. She has always

I first heard of the Ford Foundation two days ago during a conference on International Women's Day at the Aspen Institute in Washington, D.C. The Forum specifically and continuously celebrated the work of Helen Neuborne, who I later learnt is a champion for equal economic opportunities for women. A perplexed 20-year old college student, I was mesmerized and overwhelmed as I looked around the room filled with dozens of accomplished women advocating for change. For the first time, I thought, "Gosh! I am excited about my future career and the work I may be able to get done." As numerous women spoke up in the room, most mentioned Helen and the Ford Foundation; they spoke of it with respect. To me, that sparked off as a foundation that took risks

At the end of their first reconnection, Nora reveals that her transformation from obedient doll to liberated woman had already begun. She now admires Mrs. Linde for her long years of work and independence and uses it as inspiration for her own. In Mrs. Linde’s trust, Nora exposes her personal act of sovereignty: a few years ago, she had secretly borrowed money to save her husband’s life, incriminating herself. Even though she did the morally correct thing, Nora’s actions are condemnable and

Norah has never been the same since the night a drunk driver stole her husband and young son. She’s come to Nashville to live with her father and see if there’s a way to put her life back together. It’s been years, but she’s just been going through the motions.

            Nora does not at first realize that the rules outside the household apply to her. This is evident in Nora's meeting with Krogstad regarding her borrowed money. In her opinion it was no crime for a woman to do everything possible to save her husband's life. She also believes that her act will be overlooked because of her desperate situation. She fails to see that the law does not take into account the motivation behind her forgery. Marianne Sturman submits that this meeting with Krogstad was her first confrontation with the reality of a "lawful society" and she deals with it by attempting to distract herself with her Christmas decorations (Sturman 16). Thus her first encounter with rules outside of her "doll's house" results in the realization of her naivety and inexperience with the real world due to her subordinate role in society.

She is constantly undervalued and treated like she is a ditzy little girl and needs to be taken care of. Realizing this, Nora decides to try and escape her current future. Leaving behind the only world she knows, Nora paves a path for the women of her

Nora and Louise are both faced with problems in their lives and both women face those problems in a way that is not accepted by society as normal behavior for a woman. Nora and Torvald's first year of marriage was not an easy one. Nora finds out that Torvald is ill. He had been working day and night to try and provide for his new family. In order for him to get better he needs to move south. Nora is willing to do anything in order to save her husband. She decides to take a loan in order to afford the life saving trip. (Ibsen) Women were not to have anything to do with the household finances. She did this behind Torvald’s back and forged her dead father’s signature. Mrs. Helmer went against the “rules” that woman were supposed to abide by in order to save her husband. Mrs. Mallard faced a different kind of problem. She was faced with the death of her husband. For Mrs. Mallard this was the beginning of her real life. Victoria Hicks states that “women were confined to the private sphere of the home and were often denied participation in the public.”(Hicks)
