    PBA – You make light of his post -by doing so you cause others to think he isn’t making any point. Whether his or your interpretation of that Gemorrah is correct -is irrelevant. His point is very true -if your drinking can come to a Sakanah, you don’t have that right to follow the D’Rabbon Chiuv of getting drunk. Now there are a lot of people including teenagers who won’t put themselves in Sakanah, but there are a lot that will nowadays. Every parent has to make sure that no kid will drink to that point. Some kids are responsble on their own not to drink that much. But a lot of kids need someone to watch them -not to get there. It could be the parents, members of the Hanhala of the kid’s yeshiva or other responsible adults. The problem isn’t with drinking on Purim, the problem is we don’t have a lot of responsible adults and children!

    “just for your information the bochur who died last purim did not die from too much alcohol rather from an aneurysm”

    I find your comments unbelievable. First of all, how do you know who I’m talking about? Second of all, even if it’s the same guy, I heard this from my Rov who is good friends with the uncle. Why should I believe an anonymous blogger over my Rov? Third of all, how do you know the guy died from an aneurysm -did you speak to the doc who saw the CT scan?

    Since you posted based on a lot of Your assumptions, I Assume you have some sort of agenda! Care to Share what it is?

    I sometimes davened in a Shul, many years ago, where the police put signs reserving the spaces in front of the shul for the shul-goers. Of course, this was only on Shabbos.

    “There was a Yungerman who passed away two years ago on purim after damaging his liver from too much alcohol.”

    This I don’t believe. Liver damage takes years. I did hear a story of a bochur dying a year ago on Purim from too much alcohol.

    Bedwetting should be taken care of at home. Nowadays there are many ways to get rid of this problem. Alarms is the first thing.

    That’s because you live in Chaifa. Here in the US mentally ill & challenged patients by and far don’t live in nursing homes. We don’t commit them anymore. Most live in group homes or group facilities. Those who are a danger to themselves or others are committed to facilities. These are usually state psychiatric facilities with a few private ones. These people are almost non-existant in nursing homes.

    Aries – I never claimed that nursing homes are the ideal job for nurses. But it’s your foot in the door for the nursing profession.

    “AND Health, it does not help you with your application for a hospital because in order to get into an ER they want ER experience, in order to get into a good floor they want experience in that specialty and NO they don’t consider Nursing Home experience appropriate experience in these cases.”

    Look any job in the world they are looking for the best candidate. I just told you that I met a guy who got hired out of school for the ER. So if you apply to a job and there is someone with ER or Med/surg or ICU experience and you have nursing home experience, obviously they will be offered the job. BUT, if you have nursing home experience and the other candidates are new grads, you have a better chance of getting the job than them!

    From your posts, it sounds like a relative of yours or someone you know is having a hard time getting a job in nursing.

    Nurse – Most professions you have to start at the bottom. You can get a lot of experience in a nursing home. Also, in the nursing home you have to be assertive as a RN. You have to learn how to delegate tasks to the LPN’s and the CNA’s. Once you learn this concept, your job in the home won’t be so difficult.

    I don’t know why, but I had to do a rotation in a nursing home or should I say SNF or LTC facility to be politically correct. :)>

    Aries – Only partially true. To get a job in a hospital, you will probably need experience. But you fail to mention that most nursing jobs are in nursing homes. A new grad can get a job in a nursing home -probably most will accommodate frum Jews for time off. You can use the nursing home experience to later apply for jobs in hospitals -it counts as experience for the hospital setting. Also, being a male sometimes is advantageous -when I was doing an ER rotation in Coney Island Hospital, they hired a male nurse right out of school. He told me he was going to become a nurse practioner and had already signed up for it before getting this job. I asked him why? Because he told me he didn’t think he could get a job. He either got the job because they like males in the ER more than females or because he is Russian.

    Tralala – Ah-someone actually calling my name. Unfortunately I have to post some very bad news I heard yesterday. There was a guy in shul who lost a teenager last year to alcohol on Purim. Alcohol is dangerous to everyone not just Diabetics. I propose that there has to be someone to watch every teenager that they don’t drink too much. You see I’m not like others who say noone can drink more than a cup of wine and that’s it. People, even teenagers can get drunk, but the adults who are responsible for this kid must make sure that there is a limit!

    I’d like to tell all the liberal Jews who voted for him -I told you so. Maybe you should call him, but not to thank him. I heard in the News he told the “Palestinians”, that the reason of the veto was for them. He didn’t want Congress to stop the funding of them. If Barack Obama liked Israel, why didn’t he tell them – Jews have the right to build and live in their own country?
