Your English appears pretty good. So, are you RN? You said diploma and not sure what type of education you have.
Hope to hear from you again. Good luck at University and ask and/or post anything here. You will get accurate answers.

Hello Siri
Thanks for writting. You are right though I have recently discoverd this side, I think it is great. You asked me about my diploma. Well, things are different as far as I know in Austria than in the States. In Austria you have to attend a nursering school for 3 years after that you get your diploma. Currently it is the highest degree you can get in Austria, except specialisted educations like for intensive care unit. There is also the posibility to attend university to study "Nursering" ( I don't know the proper word in English. And my English dicitionary for Nursing is quite old) but these guys only do reasearch stuff and some of them never worked in a hospital before.
Where are you from? And what is it like there? And what does all these abbreviations mean, like CRNP,CLNC, RLNC? I 've read them quite often but I don't know what they mean.
cheers claudia
