schools are free," Browning says. In
contrast, "In the United States it can go
up to $3 thousand a semester."
Another difference is that these
countries grant national diplomas, while
United States nursing credentials are
state-regulated.
In European hospital-based nursing
programs, students can specialize in
either pediatric, critical care or
psychiatric nursing, he says. Separate
programs are available for midwifes
through midwifery schools, Browning
says. "These are not nurses, but similar to
physicians' assistants with specialized
training in obstetrics and gynecology."
In Paris, which boasts 50 hospitals.
Browning discovered that nurses were
less prepared and care less
comprehensive than in the U.S.
"They are behind U.S standards," he
says.

posed for a photograph and
drove away. Today the image
speaks to us across the years,
reminding us of change and
progress and all that can
happen in America in the span
of a life. It also reminds us that
the present too is fragile and
fleeting in the changing for-

and grandkids, all seem to be bOm knowing how it is between
Daddy's and daughters and that this is good.
I have been blessed with six beautiful daughters, the oldest

own special way. When I say the rosary of their names in my
mind I can clearly see the face of each one in her turn. What
a blessing.

uring a weeklong jaunt through
French and English health-care
facilities in January, Chris Browning
learned that American nurses are better
trained.
That's because France and England lack
university-based nursing programs, says
the Lamar University-Beaumont nursing
student. Instead, they offer just diploma
programs. Improved education is so
valued that "nurses were on strike
demanding university-based education
like the states." They also want better
working conditions and wages, although
Browning says wages seemed com-
parable to those here.
The only United States student on the
tour, Browning, a 1989 Bridge City High
School graduate, earned three semester-
hours credit for participating in
"Comparative Nursing in France and
England." He and eight registered nurses
visited public and private hospitals in
both counties, hospice institutions,
