To just say this, my husband and I are Muslims, and we live in US, but traveled to KSA(Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) this past July. We stayed for three weeks, and I did not want to leave! Yes Islam segregates women and men, but in this case separate but equal does exist. The women in Saudi are spoiled. When you step down from the curb to cross the street(you will be jaywalking and traffic is a NIGHTMARE! Vehicular Manslaughter is the #1 cause of death) the cars stop for a woman, and they flash their lights signaling you to go. I don't have to drive, and I get chauffeured around. They shop! shop! shop! like it's no ones business. Also you are treated with dignity and respect. Now there are some who interpret Islamic law into something of their own, and use it for their own benefit and gain, and they demonize Islam. But we have people who do that all over, not just within the folds of Islam. Yes the people are lazy, but this is because this country spoils its people. This country takes care of its citizens. There is good & bad with everything, but why must I constantly here about the BAD, BAD, BAD in Islam? I am a bright young woman, I'm always told about how smart/mature I am for my age. I can make my own decisions, I have not been brainwashed by any man. I accepted Islam way before my marriage, and I am truly happy! I actually look forward to being a Nurse overseas! I do think that we(Nurses who work in other countries) can work hard to make a difference in the medical facility we are at. We just have to move forward with positive thinking.

Jazakallahu khary for this enlightenment!

Thank you guys for your responses. Apoole77, I went to that link you provided and sent an email to the contact person, I hope to hear something back soon! SouthernPeach3, my children are 3 and 2, and everyone keeps telling me, "oh wait you'll have time when they get older!" and I don't want to wait. I really want to do Nursing, helping others has always been my passion. I appreciate your words of encouragement. Tomorrow, I am off to my second day, on my road to fulfilling my Nursing dream. Hey! I should start a blog, hmmm.....

Good Day everyone, I NEED HELP! I am 24 single mother of two, and I have been attempting to get my Nursing career off the ground for some years now. I am currently enrolled in a CNA course, but don't know if it was a good move. Are there any courses to do CNA to LPN? I wanted to apply for Jefferson's ASN/BSN program, but I don't think my math skills were up to par. Are there any other single mothers/fathers starting/have started their Nursing career? Any advice? I would apprecate it :twocents:ALL! THANK YOU!
