| Cosmetic Surgery Nurse Required |
Cosmetic Surgery Nurse required for Dublin.
A Cosmetic Surgery Clinic in Dublin City Centre is seeking a Cosmetic Surgery Nurse to join it’s team.
This is a fantastic opportunity and is a permanent Nurse job.
Requirements:
Must be an RGN with 2 years experience (minimum) with experience in phlebotomy
Experience in the cosmetic industry required
Must exhibit excellent communication skills
Must be available for city centre location
Commercial or Sales experience a strong advantage
Good computer skillsAttention to detail
Must be reliable and driven
Strong patient focus with an interest in the cosmetic industry.
I am not sure that THAT ad would really make me want to work at that particular clinic (or be a patient for that matter!). And, definitely, I can see why the nurse would have to have good sales experience if that is the photo they have on display as an example of their work. You would also need attention to detail as listed - because the docs certainly don't seem to have any - if you go by the example above. The clinic is in Dublin, Ireland.
Speaking of Dublin and Michael Jackson.....
When I was about to move back up to Canada (early 1990s) I remember visiting a little hole-in-the-wall second hand store in a shopping plaza in Dublin, California. It had a mish-mash of various items for sale including antiques, and one group of items caught my eye.
It was a small portion of the estate of Sammy Davis Jr. Memorabilia framed and otherwise, little knick-knacks that used to belong to that late great singer, given to him by other stars. I checked it all out and some of it was pretty interesting. The store had the small block of goods for sale: all for $5,000. The most interesting item? A Michael Jackson sparkly glove with a signed "Thank-you" from Michael Jackson - framed in a shadow box.
I bought a 1981 Mercedes convertible instead.
Looking back, the return for money spent would have been better had I spent the $5K on the memorabilia, looking at what Michael Jackson's one glove went for recently. $190K! and another one - the original moon walk glove - for $350K!
By the way, I bought my husband a 1983 Mercedes convertible for his birthday this year. Price?
$5K.
Hindsight is 100%
Found After writing this note:
Interestingly enough, I found this article online in regards to Sammy Davis Jr's estate which was seized in 1992 by the IRS. It was in the East Bay area, so it makes sense that the glove and some of the other memorabilia would be found in a store in Dublin CA which is in East Bay - round about the same time....circa 1993. This glove was offered and sold on Ebay for $388K.... Here is the link. I don't believe it is the exact same glove because the one I saw was in a shadow box type frame. Because there were a lot of framed signed photos of Sammy Davis Jr with other stars with documentation, I believe it was authentic...since this was something that apparently he did - hanging framed photos of himself and friends around him in his dressing room.
On the other hand, there are lots of fakes out there. And a lot of real ones. If nothing else, it makes for a good story! :)
Excerpt of Caption on the Glove when Posted on Ebay (in case the above link is broken):
"This white glove with crystals formerly belonging to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee came from the Bonnie Doone Estate in Palomares Canyon, California, in the San Francisco Bay area. There are traces of pancake make-up in the glove. The crystals are faceted like diamonds. The Victorian farm house built in 1870 is pictured below and was in my family for years. When I sold it in 1995, I took the glove with me to Challis, Idaho.
We purchased this glove from the estate of Grammy and Emmy award winning performer Sammy Davis, Jr. at an IRS seizure auction in 1992. The Glove was in one of Sammy’s Louis Vuitton trunks which we purchased at the auction. The article from the Contra Costa Times discusses these trunks and the broad spectrum of items enclosed within. Michael personally presented one of his trademark gloves to Sammy on stage at a tribute to Sammy Davis, Jr. We believe this occurred in the early eighties. If anyone has more information, we would appreciate it. The photograph, which was also from the estate, goes with the glove. Sammy always decorated his dressing rooms with photos of family and friends, many of which he took himself.
We will be selling many personal Sammy Davis, Jr. items on eBay over the next few months. Included in his estate were platinum and gold records, crystal trophies, awards, plaques, personal photos, and stage costumes. There will be enough to put together a museum.
Look at the other auctions for antique, vintage treasures from the estate. I will be selling more every month, such as oil paintings by California and European artists, original works by Pablo Picasso with provenance, cast iron and copper kitchen accessories, molds, weathervane, whirlygig, folk art, and much, much more. Unfortunately, the vintage Rolls Royce limousine in the photo has already been sold. "
