Just joined, so will have to work on creating a nice user page. I was born in Calgary and am still registered in Alberta as a nurse, but now live and work in the USA as one of "King Ralph's Refugees". I am currently a graduate student at the University of California, San Francisco. I'm interested in how nursing is treated by the media, and to that end have started producing the first nursing podcast on the web.

Picture of the day

Arctocephalus pusillus, the Cape fur seal, is a species in the family Otariidae, the eared seals. The species is found along the coasts of southern Africa and southeastern Australia and is the largest of the fur seals, with adult males growing up to 2.3 metres (7.5 ft) in length and females somewhat smaller. Males are dark grey to brown with a darker mane, while females are lighter in colour and pups are born black. The species breeds in large colonies on rocky islands, reefs and coastal outcrops, where females give birth to a single pup. Cape fur seals feed mainly on fish, squid and other marine animals, and are preyed upon mainly by great white sharks and orcas. It is classified as a least-concern species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. This Cape fur seal was photographed hauling out at the Hippolyte Rocks off the coast of Tasmania, Australia.Photograph credit: JJ Harrison
