What are some easy, healthy, snacks for a nursing mother

What are some easy, healthy, snacks for a nursing mother?
I just had my daughter about 6 weeks ago and I am pumping my breast milk because of nursing issues and its very time consuming. So between her, pumping, and other house hold duties I need some recipes for easy snacks. I love swiss oatmeal and like banana bread but they get old after a little while and don't last long. I need something I can prepare ahead of time and can be served cold or reheated in the microwave. I tried looking on the Internet but I just don't have the time to spend searching the millions of sites. I know the basics like fruit, veggies, and yogurt but I was looking for something a little different to switch it up for the taste buds. Thank you for all your suggestions!

Try almonds, they are one of the best snacks you can eat.

After I had my daughter I was so busy. I would make wheat buttered pasta with a little salt and keep it in a container. I would make a lot of it and have a little when I got hungry. It heats up quickly, is very satisfying, and doesn't make a mess.
3 :
Trail mix, buy some or make your own. I like to make my own by mixing together: raisins, peanuts, and chocolate chips. Cheese and crackers, plenty or room for variety there..
4 :
Make some snack sized savoury scones in a muffin pan. Make some snack sized baby pies in your muffin pan. Most people will come up with a variety of regular muffin recipes, but try some of these ones. http://allrecipes.com.au/recipes/tag-1904/savoury-muffins-recipes.aspx

I don't know that specific knife; but can tell you from military know-how, that there are only a few knives that can not be sharpened with standard tools. It (sharpening) is more a matter of technique, and your purposes don't appear to call for special concern. What you could do is practice on some old kitchen knife first.
2 :
Yes, you can sharpen that knife with the household sharpener. I do recommend that you use a sharpening stone, with oil, but that is just me.
3 :
You could, but if it's an antique I would leave it to the pros's. Do you work in a hospital? Where I worked carrying a knife would get you suspended if not fired
4 :
A sharpening stone is definitely the best way to go. You can use a kitchen knife sharpener and it will work, but it also may slowly erode the blade.

Life in Zurich, Switzerland

Life in Zurich, Switzerland?
I am 18 years old, from Canada, and I am planning on moving to Zurich in the next 4 to 5 years after I get my degree for a registered nurse. What is the job outlook for this occupation there? I was wondering if anyone would like to share some experiences of living in Switzerland and give me some advice about the work and life there. I love Europe and I heard that Zurich is one of the best cities. If anyone would like to help me out, it would be greatly appreciated :)

Well, I'm originally from Zürich... I think, it's one of the best towns in Switzerland (but not really in Europe..). It has plenty of jobs to offer as well as unnumbered leisure possibilities. An absolute must, if you want to work there as a nurse: Fluency in German (actually, the language spoken by the locals is called Allemanic, some also call it Swiss-German)! Since you still have a few years to go, use it for that purpose. Living costs are much higher than in Canada which I know from personal travel experience. If you would want to look for a job, first try at the local clinics such as the University Hospital: http://www.en.usz.ch/german/default Good luck!
