I was going to comment on the syringe, something along the lines of WTF? LOL

Now to me, this is Nadine:




Young, candystriper, forgot everything they taught her in orientation about confidentiality...

Leslie

LOL, I didn't even notice the syringe!!  

And because Lucise put a pic of a nurse up I just assumed Nadine was one    AND I looked for non-sweet pics of nurses  
I think your candystriper is perfect even though she looks real sweet

She looks real sweet but she has a sort of smarmy look in her eyes and smile...."Oh, hello," she says to your face, sweet as can be, then runs out of the room to gossip behind your back.

I knew girls like this in school and I couldn't stand them! LOL

We also have to consider that Nadine is Francine's friend..so she'd be about 18/19 ..?

I like Leslie's Nadine too.

I am back from my vacation and here to report to E&E thread. 

Glad to see that you guys added another 70 some pages since I left and few more devoted E&E fans (including the honorable Madlori!).  One thing that I managed to do during my vacation is to stay up-to-date on Laramie Sage.  I really enjoy the new book.

We also have to consider that Leslie, as a PhD. in Nursing, and a Nursing Professional, would like to exert Veto Power over any plot element that involves any foibles, weaknesses, or malfeasance by an ACTUAL Licensed or Registered NURSE.  Therefore she insists that Nadine has to be a Candystriper (nursing student.)

A candystriper is a volunteer. When they grow up, they turn into the Pink Ladies.

Seriously, we argued this long and hard in the chat the other day--issues of patient confidentiality, nurses gossiping, etc. Having pondered this, I think it is totally plausible that Nadine be a candystriper. She would have had some sort of an orientation but doesn't have a direct supervisor to monitor her actions. She would have access to patient care areas and patient care information. I don't think her gossping about Ellery was ever meant to be malicious but was just a product of her youthfulness and inexperience. Hopefully, she'll learn from this mistake.

Why is Nadine a candystriper? Good way to get a little bit of exposure, see if you like being in a hospital environmnent, working with patients. Maybe she is in the process of applying to the nursing program at the community college. Just a few thoughts.

Leslie

PS, yes, I was a candystriper--in case anyone was wondering.

Does anyone else think this candystriper looks a whole lot like actress/comedienne Amy Poehler? Could this indeed be her?
