> Three nurses died and went to Heaven, where they were met at the Pearly Gates 
> by St. Peter.  To the first, he asked, "So, what did you
used to do back on Earth? Why do you  think you should be allowed to
come into Heaven?"
>
> "I was a nurse at an inner city hospital," she replied. "I worked to
> bring healing and peace to many sufferers, especially poor, helpless 
> children."
>
> "Very noble," said St. Peter. "You may enter."  And in through the Gates she 
> went.
> To the next, he asked the same question, "So, what did you used to do?"
>
> "I was a nurse at a missionary hospital in the Amazon basin," she
> replied.
> "For many years, I worked with a skeleton crew of doctors and nurses who 
> tried to reach out to as many people across numerous tribes, with a
hand of healing and peace, and with the message about God`s love."
>
> "How touching," said St. Peter. "You, too, may enter."  And in she went.
>
> He then came to the last nurse, to whom he asked, "So, what did you use to do 
> back on Earth?" After some hesitation, she explained, "I was
just a nurse at an HMO."
>
> St. Peter pondered this for a moment, and then said, "Ok, you may enter, too."
>
> "Whew!" said the nurse. "For a moment there, I thought you weren`t going to 
> let me in."
>
> "Oh, you can come in," said St. Peter, "but you can only stay for three days."
