Business & Finance - 9 December 2007

I was online researching nursing last night. I ran across a couple of articles on nursing. I was surprised to see that according to the articles 600,000 nurses per year in America get accidently stuck by needles when they are giving patients injections or dealing with IV lines. If you are a nurse or in nursing school, has this ever happened to you? From the article that I read, I got the impression that this happens to nurses on a regular basis. It seems as if nurses are at high risk of contracting blood-borne infectious diseases. RNs, LPNs, CNAs, MDs please share your 1st hand knowledge/experience on this (2nd hand knowledge would be appreciated too).

I am considering buying a new hybrid Chevy Malibu, when they become available in the spring. Do you have any information about what the 2008 federal and state (Ohio) benefits may be, if any, to buying a hybrid vehicle. If there are could you direct me to any website or link for more information. When spending that amount of money everything figures into a purchase and we were curious about the tax benefits if any to buying energy aware.

I am 18 years old, and attending a community college. I have been job searching for the past 2 years, and no one will hire me. I have applied online and in-person at retail stores, pet shop, hotels, resturant, convenience stores, gift/card shops, and at coffee shops. I've put in at the minnimum of 30 applications in the past 2 years. I am dressing neatly when I present myself for a job, but still no one will hire me. I even applied for jobs at supermarkets that claimed to be help wanted.

I can't do any Christmas shopping this year, because of a lack of money. I have bills I will need to pay in about a month. I don't know how I will pay those bills. I have applied for jobs, at everywhere near where I live. I ran out of options and in terrible need of a job. I have applied at almost every buisness in my town.

What should I do?

I just read that the fed will most likely cut rates again. We are thinking about buying a new home, but were waiting for the prices to drop even lower. Houses in CT that were 850K 3 - 5 years ago are now around 650K Should we wait longer, or will the market now come back up?

I have good suspicion that I'll be laid off at the end of the year. Every time I try to talk to my boss about my projects, she puts me off or says something contradictory, or something else changes. I work in a place where there is so much office politics going on that whether or not I proved to her I can do the job, if her boss doesn't think so or wants me out--I'm gone.

I know I can do the job, but it just may not matter. In fact, I feel they hired me just to fill the position. I feel that they were still looking all along, regardless of my performance, because I told them the truth about my background and experience and they knew I didn't have all the qualifications for the position, but enough to get me hired.

So, what should I do? Play dumb, confront boss, what?? I'm putting my feelers out for other jobs, but i really want to stay at this one, so I'm reluctant to submit my resumes officially.

My wife has a working background in administrative and event coordination work. She has a bachelor's degree in biology and a master's degree in forensic DNA analysis. She's never been able to get a lab job due to her lack of actual work experience in the lab. She would actually like to have a career in acting within our area but requires some degree of flexibility. We're trying to think of some type of 'day' job that has that flexibility, decent pay, and allows for some type of future should the acting thing not work out.

I know, sounds hokey that someone with that much education and whatnot would want to pursue acting as a career. Therefore, I am asking for serious responses and not interested in any smart alec responses. Thanks in advance.
