<DIV><SPAN class=280580902-01072000><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2>I held
a one day open space for nurses with the theme "Inspiring leadership: What
are the issues and opportunities for all Nurses." One of the consequences
was a number of nurses identifying mentors in the group and a mentor program is
now under development as an outcome of the meeting (based on the discussion and
priorities). I have forwarded your message to the "champion" of the
steering group.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=280580902-01072000><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2>I
agree Laurel that this would work well for nursing orientation, particularly as
we face the future of more than 50% of our nurses being eligible to retire by
2005. We will have fewer elders in our workforce to support the growth of the
new....and this could stop the process of eating our young!!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
