This is not a Call for Votes (CFV); you cannot vote at this time. Procedural details are below.  Newsgroup lines: sci.med.nursing.emergency	Emergency nursing and nursing care. sci.med.nursing.misc	Science, art, and practice of nursing. sci.med.nursing.student	Student nursing and nursing care.  RATIONALE: all groups  Sci.med.nursing is an unmoderated newsgroup dedicated to the art and science of nursing. It currently generates approximately 200 messages per day.  The group has been ripe for a split for some time now, many users have asked for a separate group for the discussion of topics related to emergency nursing and another for student nursing.  CHARTER: sci.med.nursing.emergency  A discussion group dedicated to emergency nursing. Possible topics include:          * Triage         * Emergency life support         * Pediatric trauma         * General ER techniques and patient care         * Hospital ER policies         * Continuing emergency education  Commercial ads not _directly_ related to emergency nursing are not allowed.  END CHARTER.  CHARTER: sci.med.nursing.student  A discussion group dedicated to student nursing. Possible topics include:          * Nursing education         * Problems faced in student clinical settings         * Licensing exams         * Employment questions / Specialization queries         * Nursing research         * Advanced nursing studies : undergraduate, graduate, nurse practitioner, and beyond.  Commercial ads not _directly_ related to student nursing are not allowed.  END CHARTER.  CHARTER: sci.med.nursing.misc  Replacing sci.med.nursing, this group would be dedicated to all other forms of nursing and nursing care. Possible topics are all but unlimited and may include:          * Nursing theory         * Practical nursing applications         * Sexual harassment / violence in the workplace         * Clinical problems / solutions         * Medication problems / solutions         * Ethical issues in nursing          Commercial ads not _directly_ related to nursing are not allowed.  END CHARTER.  MODERATOR INFO: all groups  Currently, sci.med.nursing is unmoderated. We have had little problem from spammers and prefer to deal with them by private email complaints. Therefore all three proposed groups would have no moderation.  END MODERATOR INFO.  PROCEDURE:  This is a request for discussion, not a call for votes.  In this phase of the process, any potential problems with the proposed newsgroups should be raised and resolved.  The discussion period will continue for a minimum of 21 days (starting from when the first RFD for this proposal is posted to news.announce.newgroups), after which a Call For Votes (CFV) will be posted by a neutral vote taker.  Please do not attempt to vote until this happens.  All discussion of this proposal should be posted to news.groups.  This RFD attempts to comply fully with the Usenet newsgroup creation guidelines outlined in "How to Create a New Usenet Newsgroup" and "How to Format and Submit a New Group Proposal".  Please refer to these documents (available in news.announce.newgroups) if you have any questions about the process.

Please, DO NOT send the entire CFV back to me!  * Mark the ballot and then MAIL it to: < [email protected] >   Just "replying" to this message should work, but check the "To:" line.  * In order to properly record your vote, please provide your REAL NAME and   indicate your desired vote in the appropriate locations inside the ballot.  * Examples of how to properly indicate your vote:    [ YES     ]  example.yes.vote   [ NO      ]  example.no.vote   [ ABSTAIN ]  example.abstention   [ CANCEL  ]  example.cancellation  * DO NOT modify, alter or delete any information in this ballot!

One person, one vote.  Votes must be mailed directly from the voter to the votetaker.  Anonymous, forwarded or proxy votes are not valid.  Votes mailed by WWW/HTML/CGI forms are considered to be anonymous votes.  Vote counting is automated.  Failure to follow these directions may mean that your vote does not get counted.  If you do not receive an acknowledgment of your vote within three days contact the votetaker about the problem.  It's your responsibility to make sure your vote is registered correctly.  Duplicate votes are resolved in favor of the most recent valid vote.  Addresses and votes of all voters will be published in the final voting results post.  The purpose of a Usenet vote is to determine the genuine interest of persons who would read a proposed newsgroup.  Soliciting votes from disinterested parties defeats this purpose.  Please do not distribute this CFV.  If you must, direct people to the official CFV as posted to news.announce.newgroups.  Distributing pre-marked or otherwise edited copies of this CFV is generally considered to be vote fraud. When in doubt, ask the votetaker.  --  Jani Patokallio <[email protected]> Voting address: <[email protected]>  From [email protected] Sun Oct 27 07:12:47 1996 Path: uunet!bounce-back From: Jani Patokallio <[email protected]> Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,bit.listserv.snurse-l,sci.med.nursing Subject: 2nd CFV: sci.med.nursing reorganization Supersedes: <[email protected]> Followup-To: poster Date: 27 Oct 1996 12:12:43 -0000 Organization: Usenet Volunteer Votetakers Lines: 147 Sender: [email protected] Approved: [email protected] Expires: 8 Nov 1996 00:00:00 GMT Message-ID: <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] NNTP-Posting-Host: rodan.uu.net Archive-Name: sci.med.nursing-reorg Xref: uunet news.announce.newgroups:9302 news.groups:236537 bit.listserv.snurse-l:19090 sci.med.nursing:25339                        LAST CALL FOR VOTES (of 2)              unmoderated group sci.med.nursing.emergency               unmoderated group sci.med.nursing.student    unmoderated group sci.med.nursing.misc (renames sci.med.nursing)  Newsgroups line: sci.med.nursing.emergency	Emergency nursing and nursing care. sci.med.nursing.misc	Science, art, and practice of nursing. sci.med.nursing.student	Student nursing and nursing care.
