This user is a native speaker of the English language.

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

The sedge warbler (Acrocephalus schoenobaenus) is a passerine bird in the Acrocephalidae family, the reed warblers. It is a medium-sized warbler with a brown, streaked back and wings and a distinct pale supercilium. Sedge warblers are migratory, crossing the Sahara to get from their European and Asian breeding grounds to spend winter in Africa. The male's song is composed of chattering phrases and can include mimicry of other species. The species is mostly insectivorous. This sedge warbler was photographed in Otmoor RSPB reserve in Oxfordshire, England.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp
