Tiffany Said:What Career is right for me? Entertainment,Nursing,Stewardess?We Answered:Remember, these things don't have to be mutually exclusive. My opinion:
You can travel without being a stewardess. There are limited openings so getting a job quick isn't likely. The airline industry has been having a ton of problems since 9/11 so I would leave that as option three. They get paid well though.
Nurses are always needed and get paid well. They also have flexible hours, meaning you could pursue something else while working as a nurse.
To work in the entertainment industry, you need to live somewhere that industry is strong. I don't...

Heidi Said:How long is a nursing career?We Answered:You can become a Registered Nurse with a 2 year associates degree. All together it may take 3 years for you to receive your associates degree in nursing because you will have to take all of your prerequisite courses first before you can get into the RN program. Some RN's choose to return to school later to get their bachelors degree in nursing so they can qualify for administrative positions, but it is not required. You can still become a RN with an associates degree.
In order to become a CNA...

Felix Said:Would getting an associates degree in pre medical be the same as getting one in nursing?We Answered:Nope. Completely and utterly different degrees. A nursing degree will prepare you for practical nursing skills. An associates in pre-medical would mostly teach you biology and theory that would prepare you for a medical degree. There might be some basic medicine involved, but it is primarily an academic degree, not a practical "on the job" kind of training like nursing. In the end, you won't make any money at all off an associates degree in pre-med. It is practically useless without further studies....

Marian Said:Nursing - is it a good career?We Answered:If you have the right personality and are prepared to study and work hard, then nursing could be the career for you. I was a nurse for 11 years and loved the job immensely. You get a huge amount of satisfaction from this job. But don't kid yourself its easy. You work long hours including nights and weekends, the pay isn't fantastic and you need to be pretty thick skinned sometimes. Also, although we try and save lives, sometimes this isn't possible and this can be very distressing for nurses, families and...

Don't stress out about it. Just get through your course, pass your tests and you will remember what you need...

Sarah Said:I need help with my career decision. Information please?We Answered:It's hard to get a job as a WHC NP, because it is such a narrow field of practice. You're better off becoming a Family NP, or a Certified Nurse Midwife. You would be able to deliver babies as a CNM, but not as a WHC NP. You wouldn't assist in any surgeries (such as c-sections, tubal ligations, etc.), as surgical roles are for MDs and surgical technicians and scrub nurses (NPs are "too" educated to be a simple scrub nurse in an OR, and it would be a waste...

Even with the plummeting economy, there is still a demand for nurses and doctors, etc. It is a very social job and you will never be lonely.
The thing about a biology job is that in order for it to really matter, you need a lot of school. Assuming you have finished the bio degree, then you have to go on to graduate school,...
Glenn Said:What college degree will provide the most career options?We Answered:Engineering is probably the most flexible degree. Engineers can do everything from Teaching to R&D.
BS-Industrial Technlogy is a rival for "most flexible degree". The BSIT is in the midst of changing from being labelled a degree in "Industrial Technology", to being a degree for Industrial Management.
The BSET grad will be school in some Technology, Computers, Electronics, Textile, but also will have a number of Management/Business courses.

Yvonne Said:Help me choose my college/career path - Nursing ?We Answered:Option 2. The first reason is that regardless of whether you choose a community college RN program or a full university BSN program, you will be taxed with a heavy workload and will want to be focused on one career path at a time. Trying to simultaneously finish 2 degrees is a recipe for failure in nursing school. Nursing school isn't hard, but it's extremely time consuming due to the large volume of reading and writing papers and clinical prep and the clinicals themselves. And you're not even mentioning if...
Jeanette Said:What is your opinion on the public image of professionalism of nurses?We Answered:38y/o Female, Some college
Nursing is not what it used to be and I used to blame it the high cost of health care and the fact that hospitals run in the red, nurses are stretched beyond their physical means to provide extensive care. Lawsuits and people's inability to pay have contributed to hospitals having to run in the red and it trickles down to every department even housekeeping. Hospitals are filthy and germ filled staph carriers. Nurses spend more time on paperwork than patient...
Tommy Said:I want to be an RN working in the NICU. I have a few questions that need answers.?We Answered:I suggest doing A LOT of research. I myself am looking into nursing. The best thing you can do is talk with a counselor at your intended school. Requirements will be different, depending on your school. They say RN's make 45k a year, but I'm sure that varies on your experience, location and chosen field. I wouldn't go into nursing for the money either, make sure your heart is in it as well.

Medicare will still provide the traditional benefits while putting certain restrictions in place to...
Tom Said:The job market isn't looking great for NURSING?? So what careers will almost guarantee a job after grad?We Answered:I have heard this too, it is because companies can be more picky and selective about who they hire. So they don't hire new grads unless they did steller in school, they mostly want people with experience. You need to pick careers with an acute shortage, that is, the ones that have the least amount of people going in and coming out. Physical, Occupational and Speech therapists are in high demand partly because you have to go to grad school for...

Donna Said:Is choosing a career in Nursing the right choice?We Answered:Notice that everyone here mentions money or job security as the main reason why you should go into nursing. Unfortunately, many people who go into nursing also think this. The reality is, unless you truly love nursing (and want to be a nurse), the money is often the only thing that keeps people in it. Catty unprofessional co-workers (mostly women), high caseloads, and lack of respect cause many nurses to burn out.
There is always a "nursing shortage" because many nurses get burnt out, injured, ill, or simply sick of the...

If you end your employment before the contract is up, it is almost 100% sure that your employer will go after you for the $3,000. And in a lawsuit when both parties have signed the contract, judges tend to follow the exact terms of that contract.
Your employer knew that his job was not perfect, which is why they tied...

Glen Said:How do I "specialize" in the nursing field?We Answered:All nursing specialties are basically obtained as "on the job training"; some offer certificates later on once you have worked in that field; but as of now, there are no specialty schools.

Often these are structures training programs of a few month (to 6 or so); you work along side a mentor & get more training. 2.

I have been in law enforcement for over 20 years and forensics since 1993. Things are getting more and more technical. I can tell you from being involved in forensics: it is nothing like on television (csi, ncis, etc)! It is not glamorous and is a lot of hard and grueling work.
My advice: Get a degree in something besides criminal justice, make a good salary, and live well. Law enforcement is not what it is cracked up to be. You must tolerate slander, bad attitudes, and low pay. Television does not...

Jackie Said:Is it easier to get into the Ivy League if you're already a graduate with a high paying career?We Answered:No. No matter what, Ivy League schools are selective. There is no way around it. Even if you held a job for 2 years, that counts as a mere extracurricular to them. There are people that get denied from Ivies that have published books, or studied abroad. While holding a job CAN help your application by representing itself as an extracurricular, it can't really do much else than increasing your chance by a small percentage.
And don't forget, there are...

Women have been FIGHTING for equality since the men came back from WW2, when the women had to deal with everything themselves while the men were away.
Women are perfectly capable of being able to deal with the pressure of the high paying jobs because, you see, that's why they were given to them in the first place. Employers can't be sexist or they'll be sued.

Evelyn Said:medical career possible?We Answered:Only you can decide if pursuing a medical doctor career is something you would be able to do realistically. You would need a 4 year bachelors degree in a pre-med curricula (physics, calculus, bio, chem etc) with top grades; do well in the MCAT exam, apply to med schools (4 years) which can range upwards of $200,000.

Alicia Said:from nursing to osteopathic medicine?We Answered:Honestly, you'll have to redo a lot of classes. Most classes for your BSN won't count for the pre-med requirements. Organic chemistry, physics, anatomy & physiology. (A&P for nursing students isn't the same as the one required for pre-med).
You should work on your GPA. If you apply to med school, your competitors will often have GPAs of 3.5+.

Mabel Said:How do I know if nursing is a good career for me?We Answered:From the people I've talked to, they say that you will either love it or hate it - there's not a lot of in between. So you have to have a passion for it, or you will easily get burned out on the schooling and/or out in the field. You obviously need to have a compassion for people and a love for helping people. This is why nurses deal with blood, vomit, feces, urine, etc.- they know what they are doing is worth it to help the...

Roberta Said:Will hidden"Nation health care" changes in stimulus bill effect Nursing jobs negatively?We Answered:Just from the few scraps of information I have obtained, I would say YES. Nurses in the healthcare field will now only care for patients that have the Governments approval. In a nutshell, older people who’s long term care is deemed as too expensive will not be less likely candidates for healthcare benefits. This will cut down the number of patients and conversely effect the job market for nurses.Erika Said:what jobs lie within a nurses education?We Answered:When you have successfully completed nursing school and passed the NCLEX...
Terrance Said:Pre Nursing student/medical field jobs?We Answered:Developing a rapport with patients is an integral part of being a good medical professional.

Mario Said:Are nursing jobs in demand anymore in the United States anymore?We Answered:I'm going to agree with everyone above. Is nursing still in demand? Not the same way it was in demand 7-8 years ago. When I first started nursing, you could pretty much walk into any place and expect to get some kind of job.
Now it is a lot more competitive. Older nurses had their 401Ks drained when the stock market crashed and can't afford to retire. Younger nurses are flooding into the field because they hear it is a good career choice. Laid-off workers are also looking...
Jenny Said:Is it much harder for a Registered Nurse to be hired in a school or clinic than it is a hospital?We Answered:Depends on the clinic. Many clinics do not use RNs at all; so your choices may be more limited. School nurses require additional training & certification. And, the days of a full time school nurse at every school are gone--so again, there are more limited jobs available than at a hospital. Also consider that "plush" nursing jobs have far less turn-over than the harder ones. You will need experience from a hospital setting...
Bill Said:How much money does regerstied nurses make and how often do they get paid and does matter what kind of nurse?We Answered:This is really dependent on where you live.

LVN - Licensed Vocational Nurse
RN - Registered Nurse
RN is the basis for all continuing education in nursing, such as nurse practitioner, nurse anesthetist... even up to a doctorate in nursing.
Nurses take the NCLEX for for licensing. ADN (associate degree), and BSN (bachelor degree) are both typically beginning points for a career in nursing as an RN. BSN's generally have more education toward supervising/administration, though ADN's can usually take another 9-12 months of nursing education to attain a BSN.

Tamara Said:How do nurses learn about anesthesia?We Answered:Im a podiatry student in Australia and do a subject in 3rd year called anasthesiology which is half theory, half prac. We practice on each other and administer locals in an exam. Once the lecturers deem us capable we can give them to patients under supervision. Nothing to worry about, its not as big a deal as what you would think. I dont think they would be letting you go under IV sedation for learning purposes.
For the first time you will just have a supervisor over your shoulder but they will assume you...

Tracy Said:LPNs- Licensed Practical Nurses what kinds of jobs do they take on later in their careers?We Answered:Many LPN's take the next step and become RN's.

It is also worth the time and effort to become an RN since you can expect to double or triple your annual income (depending on where you live).
Other things LPN's can "move on" to include; Public Health, School Nursing, Sales, Insurance Companies, Clinics, Fitness Centers, Diet Programs, the military, occupational health in industry,...

Since Boomers make up the LARGEST PORTION of the adult US population...hospitals will be short-staffed.
Medical careers will continue to pay very well. As long as people get into accidents, have babies and get older- healthcare workers will enjoy much job security for many years to come....

It pays more because it is harder, and you have a lot more responsibility than other professions. What you do, right or wrong, can affect someone's life.
So, what do I think you should do? Three things:
1) Contact your local hospital where you live, and make an...

Brett Said:Nursing as a career? Where to get a degree from?We Answered:Having another language is always a plus.
That you have a degree is not really relevant.
Search your local community colleges for nursing programs and see if they have a "ladder" program--after a year you can be an LVN/LPN. However, with one more year, you can have the RN and that's far more employable.
You MIGHT be able to find a "skills center" sort of offering for an LPN/LVN degree as well. Typically you need to have had certain core courses within a short space of time for them to count towards...

As far as paying, there are many grants and scholarships available. The financial aid counselors at the colllege are a great help and will do everything possible to...

Geraldine Said:Is college / university really a scam? I've seen shows about it and read articles saying that it's a scam?We Answered:Of course it is a scam.
But when people act like it is real, it might as well be real!
$40,000 a year tuition sure helps weed out the poorer classes at semi selective schools, the real work world really will age young people much faster than 4 to 10 years of party time and that helps keep the classes distinct!
In the days of high speed internet we could all be "smart" - it's a scam!

Stella Said:Career college for Nursing?We Answered:I don't recommend career colleges. You should try to find a community college that offers the programs you're looking for. I know CA CCs are really good with RN programs, so I would think they would be with LPN as well.
Also, career colleges are for profit. They're not going to help you pay. Community colleges often will have programs for those with kids.

Diana Said:What do you think of my career development plan?We Answered:Victoria-
I'm sure you can do anything you put your mind into. Personally, I feel it would be in your best interest to receive some sort of Associate Degree in Liberal Arts (generally takes about 2 years) and then pursue either a certification or another degree in whichever field you choose. In this day and age, a college degree means everything. Maybe during the course of your associates degree, you might find that you want to be an accountant or registered nurse. I can tell you from experience that none of...
Ida Said:I have a degree in education and will soon be finishing up my degree in nursing. What are some career options?We Answered:Education is actually a big part of nursing. You could work training other nurses, like becoming an ACLS/PALS/BLS instructor, or you could work in public education at a hospital (teaching people about different diseases, or eating healthy) or becoming a certified diabetes educator and do home visits to people's houses to make sure they're up to date on their insulin and not developing complications.

Just an idea! Largely, you have to look deep within yourself and ask yourself what is the real motivation behind this career...
Sara Said:Are my grades and GPA good enough to qualify for nursing school?We Answered:Most nursing schools wouldn't require higher levels of math like calculus. Math 100 and Intro to Statistics would be enough. Depending on your college of choice, you would apply to get into the college itself, THEN apply to get into the nursing major.
Nursing schools wouldn't look only at your GPA. Some require you to take a separate entrance exam, and some letters of recommendation.
What's more important than grades to being a great nurse is the passion because nursing is a science and an art of...
Marvin Said:Can a Registered Nurse work as a Paramedic? Or would an ER nurse be a fair equivalent?We Answered:No, a Registered Nurse cannot work as a Paramedic.
The simple explanation is that they require two different licenses. For example, if you have a driver's license does that mean you can drive a semi or a motorcycle? No, because they each require different licenses.
Now, if you have a nursing license, obtaining an EMT license is probably going to be easier for you, but you'll still need to meet the qualifications for both - which utlimately means different programs (although they...
Mary Said:Why are there only sales jobs at job fairs?We Answered:Because there is high turnover in retail.

If I can't afford the insurance, HOW will I pay the fine?

Bobbie Said:Nursing Options for someone who already has a bachelor's degree?We Answered:I'm sorry, but nursing programs are very particular and you will have to follow their guidelines. They are also very competitive, so your best bet is to do whatever they say. You will most likely not have to worry about electives outside the major, but you will need all thier prequisities.

Wesley Said:Nursing College/University in Ontario help please?We Answered:Hey,
If you feel that nursing would be right for you, then do it. It certainly isn't taking the "easy way out" (though a lot of people seem to think so). Nursing is intensive, both physically and emotionally. You will have more patient care training than a doctor, so it is important that you are comfortable working closely with others. Not just the patient, but the doctors as well. Don't feel like being a nurse is inferior!
If the motivation is not there to be a doctor, don't do it. If it's there for nursing,...

Usually a felony charge against a nurse for anything can trigger a suspension of the license. A misdemeanor probably wouldn't affect the license unless it was drug related. A misdemeanor might affect her job as most places would not want this type of employee.

The legitimate nursing programs you see online only offer the textbook type, "normal" academic classes online, you still have to go through clinicals in a hospital like any other nursing program.

William Said:What are the pros and cons of going into nursing?We Answered:I plan on becoming a nurse. I have been into a hospital on work experience for a week, and my aunt is a nurse.
Pros:
-Nurses are in high demand, so finding a job should not be difficult. (Especially in Australia, as it has an aging population so will need nurses to work in aged care facilities).
-You will be saving lives.
-It is a rewarding career.
-You have the opportunity to travel.
-Nurses are on their feet all the time, so will get a good amount of excercise while at work.

Melvin Said:What should I be when I grow up?We Answered:What you might look at doing is diversing your practice and ability.
Massage therapy is a very good career but it is very tough on your hands. Perhaps you can learn a range of natural and alternative therapies that you could become involved in.
Many doctors actually use natural therapies to supplement normal medicine. Alternative therapies are highly useful in treating chronic conditions. If someone chops off your hand, you are not going to a herbalist you are heading to emergency. But if you have cancer or chronic pain you will manage...

Joann Said:Career as Registered Nurse?We Answered:Phlebotomy (giving medications intravenously or taking blood) is a class that you will have in most, if not all, medical fields, and trust me, you practice enough to know where to stick, and how to stick. If you want to ease into it, perhaps you should take CNA training. It's a course for Certified Nurse Assistants, and it would help you decide whether you want to go further into the field, so try something else. It's less expensive than RN schooling, and takes less time. You get your feet wet in the field, and you'll...
Jacob Said:What qualifications would someone need to become a psychiatric nurse?We Answered:The clinical practice of psychiatric-mental health nursing occurs at two levels, basic and advanced. At the basic level, registered nurses (RN) work with individuals, families, groups and communities, assessing mental health needs, and developing a nursing diagnosis and a plan of nursing care, implementing the plan and finally evaluating the nursing care.
Advanced practice registered nurses (APRN) earn master’s degrees in psychiatric-mental health nursing and assume the role of either Clinical Nurse Specialist or Nurse Practitioner. Psychiatric-mental health nursing (PMHN) is considered a “specialty” in nursing. In addition to...

Craig Said:In comparison to other nursing jobs, how difficult is it to get a job in behavioral health/psychiatric?We Answered:In many cases, a high school diploma or equivalent is necessary for a job as a nursing or psychiatric aide.

Willie Said:getting into public health?We Answered:Public Health is a really interesting field. International work, such as working in Africa, is definitely a possibility.
The 'working degree' in public health is an MPH (or sometimes an MS in epidemiology). Meaning an MPH is the highest education requirement that most public health positions will require a potential employee possess.
MPH programs require you to have a bachelors degree in something. Biology is a great place to start especially if you are interested in infectious disease (which is my guess since you mention working in Africa.) Though others will come from a sociology or anthropology...

Radiologic technologists also referred to as radiographers, produce x-ray films (radiographs) of parts of the human body for use in diagnosing medical problems. They prepare patients for radiologic examinations by explaining the procedure, removing jewelry and other articles through which x rays cannot pass, and positioning patients so that the parts of the body can be appropriately radiographed. To prevent unnecessary exposure to radiation, these workers surround the exposed area with radiation protection devices, such as...

RN--2 years (registered nurse)
BSN--4 year (bachelor of science nurse)

They are around children all day, and a lot of the time babies.

You would still have the experience of working as a nurse, but with a schedule that would better fit your lifestyle! Good luck!Rose Said:Is nursing a wise career option?We Answered:Definitely!Sara...

It is very challenging to say the least. I did very well in HS without studying and taking chem, physics, calculus and others in equal difficulty, and there were many times I didn't think I would make it through nursing school. I did still graduate with a 3.5, but it takes hard work and dedication to school for those 4 years.
I love nursing and would never in...
Lydia Said:Is it worth getting a bachelor degree in registered nursing vs associates?We Answered:As far as getting hired:
That's really hard to answer........there are a lot of variables in the mix. For example, an ASN that worked as a patient care tech and/or student nurse extern in the same unit she/he is applying to work as a grad nurse/new RN is more likely to be hired than a BSN that was not employed there.
Of course, a BSN with experience in a certain area of nursing is more likely to be hired than an ASN with no experience, but it's likely a...

Carl Said:Registered Nursing Salary - Per Diem?We Answered:You usually have to have experience in nursing before you can work per diem at most facilities. You can work part time evenings but be considered a regular staff RN and not a per diem RN, and many hospitals give you full benefits with as little as half-time status, .5 FTE (20 hours per week). My hospital gives full benefits with a .4 FTE (16 hours per week).
You just look for hospital job openings that have the hours and schedule that you desire to work. Sometimes in order to get a job you...
Regina Said:How do I begin registered nursing school in Georgia when I have never attended college?We Answered:You'll need to start at a community college with a year of pre-reqs. The college more than likely has an RN program, so an advisor will show you what classes are required. You have to have certain classes done before you can apply for the nursing program. The advisor will be able to tell you what ones your college requires. Get all those classes and math done ASAP and apply for the program!!! I'm willing to bet there is a waiting list, so get...

Bertha Said:What careers are available for someone with a Masters in Nursing??We Answered:Once a RN was to get a master's degree he or she could be a nurse practitioner of some type, nurse educator, or nurse administrator. Which you are right in some aspects, a RN with a bachelors can be an educator or an administrator but it would take them many years, whereas with the masters they could advance faster and probably make more money depending on the facility in which they work. Nurse practitioners make more money than RN's and their work is similar to the...
Sally Said:Applying to Nursing Program, what do you think?We Answered:Basically, you have to do what you have to do--if that means you have to apply to the nursing program 2 or even 3 times that is what you do.

As far as school. Shoot, go to school and get financial aid for school. You may have to get a student loan. If so, do it. You can pay it back when you graduate. Plus you will get a stipend which is income. Again you have to pay it back.

Kathryn Said:what are the job duties of rn nursing?We Answered:Registered nurses (RN) comprise the largest group of healthcare workers. Most RNs work directly with patients and their families. They are the primary point of contact between the patient and the world of health care, both at the bedside and in out-patient settings. RNs perform frequent patient evaluations, including monitoring and tracking vital signs, performing procedures such as IV placement, phlebotomy, and administering medications. Because the RN is much more regular contact with patients than are physicians, the RN is usually first to notice problems or raise concerns about patient progress....

I saved tons of money by starting out here. Most community colleges have nursing programs that when you graduate you will have your RN and an associates in applied sciences, that's how it is at my school anyways.

Both my mother and grandmother are RN's, and I have 2 aunts who are LPN's.
I continuously get asked why I did not choose to be a nurse.

Not only that, but my mother, the RN,...

Shannon Said:Nursing salary question?We Answered:Just nursing for gynecology: probably not easily; unless you found a hospital that had a strict gyn floor. Most MD practices (gynecologists) would hire a MA, but you might find one with a lot of searching. Office settings pay far lower than hospitals and are harder to find. How much the pay is hourly is very region dependent. You could look at some adds where you live, or when you are in clinicals, ask. Yearly -just multiple hourly by the rough number of hours worked in a year to get a quick...

Sergio Said:Should I go to law school or become a registered nurse?We Answered:There are almost NO JOBs for new lawyers these days. Yes, law school is fun (it really is if you enjoy studying law, as I did) but the downside is that you graduate with a load of debt and few employment prospects. If you are an excellent, Ivy-league level student, someone who can get into a top school and graduate at the top of the class, then go for it. Otherwise, you will probably be happier doing something else--nursing, if that's your second choice.Monica Said:I...

Erik Said:any jobs that interact with hospital staff like doctors and nurses?We Answered:There is always a need for business, as in the US health care is a business. However, the needs of health care as a business requires additional knowledge that a standard business program does not prepare you for.

As far as importance, there's Military Training Instructors and Air Traffic Controllers. There's also Security Forces and Military Police (kinda sorta the same thing.)
I guess if you were talking about excitement, Pararescue would be a top job - but I don't think that it's open to females. (I'm just assuming...

Patricia Said:Can my company clean out my bank account and even send it into a negative balance?We Answered:Yes, they can take money out of your account.
Since you don't trust them go to the bank and make sure that you cancel any "check protection" (the banker's name for high-interest unsecured loans) on that account and that the bank will not honor any "automatic" withdrawals that make the account go negative.
If they won't cooperate close all of your other accounts and move your money to another bank. You should then clean out the account to which your employer...

Gloria Said:I have just completed 3 weeks of work experience doing veterinary nursing and feel disillusioned?We Answered:I think its like most work experience. You tend to get the thin end of the wedge especially in a caring type job like that. If you give it more time then the staff there will see you can "take the crap" and will draw you in closer to the caring healing side.
