Great, all the high paying jobs that can be exported are being so...and the one's that can't? Well, we'll move you here. So if there are any organizations here in the US that will give you money to take an American's job, they should be tried for t...

New Horizons, We'll have to meet somewhere in the middle. You are correct that the person is at least minimally qualified as they have passed the boards. I stand corrected. I am correct when I ask, "Is this person the most qualified", since some r...

Alpha13, OIC, racism/sexism is justified under the "correct" circumstances. Now I've been enlightened.

OK, I need some advice. I'm taking health assessment and have no idea how to study for this stuff. There is SO much information. This week I have 20 pages of notes and about 100 pages to go over. Professor says everything is fair game for the tes...

Geez, I certainly hope not. How would you feel if you went to a doughnut shop and saw a sign with prices for asians and prices for everyone else? What it upset you that asian prices were twice as high as the others? That's how I feel as a white ma...

Well, I happen to be a hypnotist. The deeper the trance, the more effective it will be. Though it is possible to reach a deep trance state with these CD's, you will most likely reach a very low trance, if one at all. CD's like therse are VERY weak...

Uggghhh!!! I'm waiting too. Our deadline is Jan 31. No where in the literature does it say when we are notified. So I make a few phone calls/emails. They were very rude like, "Don't bother me...I've got better things to do". Why are all the prof...

I'd love to hear how you all are paying or payed for living expenses/tuition. Looking to get some ideas. Here's my situation: no debt (other than 800 month for house). Just basic living expenses really (and like many, many Americans, excluding insu...

I have a BA in elementary education. What a joke!! Education majors (at the elementary level) have very low scholastic abilities. I spent some time in grad school studying theology/counseling in seminary too. There certainly is a difference betwe...

I live in Kansas City and go to KCKCC. Not only do people look down their noses for me going to a junior college, they look down on me for going to THIS junior college. It's in the worse neighborhood in the city. But here is the irony: 1) It has th...

I keep hearing people talking about the unbearable stress, hypertension, and general distruction of their personal/family life. Can anyone out there say they have gone through/are going through school without all the side effects? I'm not suggestin...

BA in elementary education. I was told by the school that there are lots of jobs...especially for males. So I graduate and find out that there are like 100 applicants for every position. And the icing on the cake, HOSTILITY towards men in elemetar...

Momto3andNurse2B, Those titles would be great! Thanks!!

I went into nursing for income/security/benefits...that's it. Not for greed, but to take care of my stay-at-home wife and children. What could be more honorable than that? I don't give a hoot about myself. If I could have the same opportunity slau...

Thanks for all of the replies. You are all an inspiration to me...really!! Sometimes I feel alone in the struggle. I'm a little reluctant to ask such questions of people I see day to day (some people get offended by financial questions). This way...

I'm starting the program next semester and wanted to know if I should keep my anat/chem/micro/physio textbooks or sell them back (love to have the cash). Anyone think I need them as a reference in my nursing classes?

I've just completed my prereqs and am about to start an ADN program. But I'm a little scared. I have a BA in Elem Education. After graduating, two years ago, despite having impeccable credentials, such as a 4.0 GPA, (and I was told men were partic...

Thanks for the info Katie. I do see the positions posted, but I thought there might have been 10 applicants for every 1 posted position. I'd love to move, but can't for family reasons. Having experience is everything...that's why I want to get the...

Oh yeah, it was all the more frustrating that the fallacy of the teaching shortage still persist. People would judge (especially my family) me because they were sooooo convinced of this. There hasn't been a shortage since the 70's!!!!! The only te...

Geez, I guess it IS just me. That makes me feel better. True, I do live in the armpit of the country (Kansas City). Kansas is projected to have a surplus of nurses for as far as anyone can guess. Most of my teacing peers were unemployed too. Maybe...
