1. Transferring an RN degree to Ireland?

   philomena_minor replied to philomena_minor's topic in Registration

   Even with my husband's citizenship, yes they will deny me entry unless he can prove that he will make over 60,000 Euros which is very difficult for one person to do. He could bring our daughter with him, but not me. I'm going to have to contact them...

   http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1247030/Grandmother-disgusted-filthy-hospital-nursed-bathed-patients-ward.html This is the hospital I had to stay in for a few days. I remember that they didn't do cleaning over night or on the weekend. When ...

   It did happen. My husband has family who lives in the UK, and we both have friends there. I begged the midwives for food, and they all kept saying "Oh, they didn't feed you?" and that was it. Here are some examples of patients being denied treatm...

4. Transferring an RN degree to Ireland?

   philomena_minor replied to philomena_minor's topic in Registration

   All the schools in the area only offer LPN (one year degree) and RN (two year degree). The BSN is a four year degree, but like I said, it's not offered around here. And all the job postings in this area also are only for LPN's and RN's. I have fou...

5. Who's excited about Single Payer in Vermont?

   philomena_minor replied to jojonavy's topic in Vermont

   I am uninsured since my insurance due to the health care law has increased my premium to the point where I can no longer afford it. With full-time employment, I am still $600 a month in the hole and living off savings, and we cut everything out of o...

   It looks like as an RN, I would not be allowed to work as a nurse in Ireland. It says an ADN is not adequate; four years of study is the minimum. I don't think I'll be able to do a four-year degree -- it's not even offered here.

   But if my insurance refuses to cover a procedure, I can still pay myself to get it; if the government refuses, it becomes illegal for me to procure it. Trust me, I've had this issue with government-run health care and Tricare insurance. Tricare wou...

   philomena_minor replied to jojonavy's topic in Vermont

   I am in Vermont, and it looks like it's going to fail miserably. The state has already admitted that it has no idea how it's going to deal with certain issues (like those who get care outside VT, or those who come from outside the state to get care)...

10. Transferring an RN degree to Ireland?

    philomena_minor posted a topic in Registration

    I am going for my RN degree (still doing pre-nursing at the moment though), and my DH and I are considering moving to Ireland. How would I transfer a U.S. degree to Ireland? Whom would I contact about it? I know I still have a ways to go, but DH i...

11. Am I In Over My Head?

    philomena_minor posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I've recently felt drawn to nursing, but I'm wondering if it will be practical for me to pursue it. I'm working full-time (at McDonald's so it should be flexible), taking A&P I this fall, and taking an LNA training course this fall. DH is in sc...
