As one of California's oldest communities, San Luis Obispo is a city thriving with history and culture. The Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, founded in 1772, is still the foundation of the city as it is located in the downtown area. The beautifully-preserved mission is the fifth in a chain of 21 missions along the California coast and is one of the oldest buildings in the state. The city also has an array of eclectic boutiques and shops. Be sure to visit the Farmer's Market, a large festival held every Thursday evening.

Featured Forum Topic
Nursing Image
I just watched the segment on NurseTV.com about the AMSN Conference. They discussed the image of nursing and how it's changed over the years. The video also analyzed how different TV shows portray nurses. I thought it was so interesting. A lot of my friends who aren't nurses think I'm overreacting when I get mad at tv shows (especially Grey's Anatomy) for showing nurses as practically insignificant in the ER. Has anyone else watched it? I'd love to hear what other people thought.
