Retirement: The Final Career
By Sheng Wang
When to retire and how to spend the following years are two of life's most important decisions. As the average lifespan lengthens, many people can look forward to a retirement that lasts 25 or even 35 years. Some believe that retirement should be treated as a final career – one that requires just as much planning and foresight as the one they're leaving behind.

Birth Traditions
By Lee Ann McGillivray
Societies – be they regional, tribal, or religious – are steeped in cultural traditions or old wives' tales involving anything from how to choose your spouse to how to avoid bad luck. Pregnancy, in particular, has a multitude of traditions surrounding it, which can be extremely diverse or incredibly similar depending on the country or religion.
As healthcare professionals, it is important to understand the impact of these traditions – and their development – when dealing with patients of varied ethnic backgrounds. The following is one of a series of articles that focus on the birth traditions of different regions of the world. In this article, we look at Latin America.

Mirrors and Women
By Tina Finkelstein, RN
Other women bemoan
bodily imperfections,
hips that have swelled,
stretching tight the limits of
blue jeans kept for
far too long,
asses that have flattened,
middles that have fattened,
and barely perceptible lines
creeping across faces marked
by expression.
They cry the loss of youth,
the addition of an extra
chin or two,
the drooping of breasts
once firm and full,
bewail the locks of unruly hair
that hangs a little thinner,
a little duller,
a little less amenable
to styles long outdated
but still attempted.
