Why did you change from OT? Was it unfulfilling? My personality style does not like surprises. I thrive well in a structured environment where I know what to expect. I also like routine jobs. Dealing one-on-one with people is my strength. I don't lik...

I have come to realise that most of the people who complain about foreign born workers have a personall problem with immigrants. America is not an Island and cannot exist on it's own. If all foreign born workers were eliminated, it would be the first...

I think blaming foreign trained nurses for low wages is just unreasoble. Thousands of foreign trained OTs, PTs and MDs are hired every year, yet their salaries continue to climb compared to nursing. So pointing fingers at the wrong issue is not going...

Have you had to make such a choice? I don't think so. Even people in third world countries don't come across such scenarios, leave alone a country like America. Your tax dollars will not be less if you don't treat illegals. They will keep climbing u...

Some people would be upset that US taxpayers are footing the bill for the medical care for an illegal alien as you describe. Alien or not, life is life. If one experinces such a tragedy in their family and realize the pain associated with it, perhap...

Is this doable? I mean if you were in school during the day and worked nights, when did you get to sleep and do your homework? I would like to do this but I wnat to hear from someone that it is doable. If I go to school all day, do homework and sepnd...

The whole point is--nurses are very lucky. They get to make good money with little or no student loans. Count yourselves very blessed. The stress is there but I don't know how many people make $40,000 from a two year degree. If you have a financial ...
