Re: Are plasma TV's gone forever?
My 2008 Panasonic Viera 50" plasma is still going strong in the basement. Nice and dark down there. Never have fixed a thing on it. I want a 65" OLED. Saw a $1,500 price point for a 65" OLED during Christmas. Didn't jump on it. I assume plasma is gone. Too hard to make. New tech will...

Re: Are plasma TV's gone forever?
Reviving an old thread for no good reason....
I still have my 2008 Panasonic plasma. It just started showing a blue line down the middle although it is translucent. Other than that no issues. Panasonic is making OLED televisions now but only sold overseas. I might be in the market soon.

Nursing doesn’t necessarily mean full time hospital either. You could be a nurse for an orthopedic surgeon who is at the hospital for surgery a few days a week and then back at the office for follow up and new patient visits. There are many different avenues in nursing.
