is there any height/weight limit to join the military?
US army or navy nurse specifically? i ask because i have a friend in Spain who is in the Spanish military and they have height minimums, independent of what you do once in , does America have anything similar?? i want to join once i graduate with my four year degree in nursing (only 2 left), i'm 5'1 100lbs, but i thought that wouldn't be a problem since i want to nurse, not a combat medic. i decided to join once i was a RN because i know that you don't enter basic boot camp (checked many times that's definite) but i was surprised when this guy laughed at me because of my size

I'm pretty sure you can join military service with your height and weight. There are height/weight requirements but I don't think your's fall below the requirement. If you finish your RN degree, you'll be an Officer Nurse. And you're right, you won't need to go to basic training because you can get a direct Commission.
2 :
You are fine. i have seen girls who weighed 90 pounds and were less than five feet tall to join. they had a problem carrying their sea bag but they graduated from basic training. I am only enlisted (corpsman) but I know a few new ensigns who were about your weight/height that just got in. Just keep up with your cardio so you can pass your biannual physical readiness test (run/bike, push-ups, sit-ups) and get in touch with a recruiter well ahead graduation. Navy is downsizing and they are getting pickier with who they get in.

well hi sorry to hear about your infection my mother has an ear infection and she takes tablets to help with the pain if you have drops put them in before you go to sleep and put a cotton bud in your ear then take it out in the morning and wrap it in something and take it to the doctors and ask them to see if your ear is leaking from the inside hope that works
2 :
Ask Mum to make an appointment with the DOCTOR, it sounds like an infection and you could need antibiotics. If its affecting your jaw now its getting worse not better.Have you tried resting your head on a hot water bottle, protected, or a wheat bag. They may ease the pain. Paracetamol or aspirin would be better than ibuprofen.
3 :
Are you running a fever? If so ear drops aren't working you need antibotics .Keep you hear warm like sleeping on a heating pad. If you have pains in your jaw Call the Dr. office tell them what is going on(i meanget your momto call ) they should have you pick up some drugs at a pharmacy> Don't keep on letting it go onyou'll lose your hearing!
4 :
I think I would get a second opinion, its not normal for the pain to get worse. Swimmers ear is another name for what you have. The drops really should have cleared it up.

Recalled for PAP Smear
Recalled for PAP Smear?
I went for a smear test on the 29th July and the nurse told me it would take about 2 months for the results....she said they would only call me if the results came back abnormal so if I didnt hear from her by the end of September then just come back for another yearly smear test next July. Well the nurse phoned me yesterday (I live in Spain by the way) and she said I have to go see the Gynecologist on the 7th of January....I asked was there something wrong and she said no its just procedure and not to worry....she said if there was something wrong I would have heard from them before now and they would be giving me an appointment straight away and not for a months time. I´m just wondering has this happened to anyone else...and why would they be calling me back....I´m very very nervous about test results and worry myself sick thinking about it.....should I be worried?

Breastfeeding my 5 lb baby
Breastfeeding my 5 lb baby!?
My beautiful little girl was born 4 weeks early on Sunday and weighs only 5 lb. She is still in hospital until she gains a little more weight and has slight jaundice which is also being treated. My problem is that i live in Spain and the nurses speak very little English. My main concern when taking my daughter home is how do I know she's feeding enough as I'm breast feeding? Should I breast feed but also express and give her some via bottle? Any answers/suggestions are welcome as i'm getting a bit worried! Thanks. Thank you for your quick responses. I have just been to feed my daughter and found an English nurse - yeah! So I was able to ask all the questions I had with a good response. I now feel more relaxed and hoping my beautiful wee girl will be coming home tomorrow!

If she's gaining weight and she gets plenty of wet diapers and a couple dirty ones throughout the day (while she's young) then she's getting enough. You can also tell by the color of her stool, it should be a yellowish color (similar to spicy mustard or pumpkin pie).
2 :
You should not breastfeed as it is unhealthy. Formula feeding is much better because it is healthier and cleaner.
3 :
Congrats! My son was 5lbs 15 ounces at birth and he arrived 3 weeks early. You can either breastfeed directly from the breast (probably best) or supplements with bottles of breast milk.... you can do both of these methods or one or the other, it's up to you, whatever you prefer... You'll know she is feeding enough if she is gaining weight properly and gets a bunch of wets diapers and a couple dirty ones during the day... If you are constantly getting dry diapers then she is not getting enough to eat! Just keep checking her weight and you should be fine.
4 :
Just feed her whenever she wants for as long as she wants, that will be enough for her. Even if she is feeding alot, it will still be good for her to have skin to skin contact with you, that can really help babies grow and feel comfort. If you can, just breastfeeding without the bottle would be the best, but if it suits your circumstances, and she will take a bottle, that's ok.

my husband is the active duty member. We will be stationed at Rota, Spain I'm refering to on base, through the military, not off base in the local community. I don't know if there is a program there, that's what I am trying to find out. Yggdrasil: WOw. what was all that about? You asked me question (is there an accredited program on base) so I answered you. I said I didn't know that's what I am trying to find out. And to me ot is a no brainer that you can't take nursing online.....I never thought you could. I actually thought your answer was the best until you lost your cool. What provoked you? And further more, if you KNEW there were no such programs at Rota (as you stated in your edit) why did you ask ME if there was (in the beginning of your answer?)

Best bet is to check with the education office in Rota. Odds are though that there is nothing there for you, unless you can do it online. I don't know about Spain, but the colleges that offer classes usually do so in business admin, management, and such. Go to: Military Homefront Plan my move NS Rota Education office It even has info about the colleges that are there and also has contact info for the station. From what I saw, it looks like the typical offerings. Good luck! Edit:Yggdrasil... take a chill pill! As odd as it sounds, there are awful programs out there that let people get degrees in just about everything and anything, without clinicals or practicums. I've even seen Teacher ed programs where you don't step foot in a classroom. Scary but true. Also, I've known ladies who have been able to wipe out most of their classroom work with online classes, and then do their practicums, clinicals, and specialty classes when they got back to the states.

Also if you could recommend any sites that show missing people from the Hurricane or sites of places that were damaged. Thanks in advance.

Is nursing something that's worth it
Is nursing something that's worth it?
All I hear about now at my McDonald's job is people who have graduated college and now cannot find jobs. I'm afraid that will happen to me. I looked into nursing when I was about 16 (I'm 19 now) and my mother told me not to do it because it would mean working on holidays and never having a moment to myself. I'm not sure if it's like that or not, but I do know that I wouldn't mind it at all. Holidays have always been unimportant in my family, and I see no point of making them a big deal on my own. Besides, helping someone who is in the hospital for Christmas would make the holidays far more enjoyable to me. I also love to travel, but I don't know much about travel nursing. It would be wonderful to be able to do nursing in Spain, London, France, and all over the world if I could. I'm sure I could squeeze in a few cultural experiences in my off time, even if it won't be much. I'd also like to do the Peace Corps. Money aside, because I'm sure it's more than my McDonald's income anyway, is nursing worth it? I'd go to a community college in order to get an LPN degree if possible. Science is a tough subject, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to have a career that I love, and that would be any career that lets me travel, help others, meet new people, and feel good about myself while I'm exhausted at the end of the day. Exhaustion is great to me. I like to feel my body tell me that I've worked hard. I guess that's kind of weird. But, back to the question. Is nursing worth it? Will I have a hard time getting a job? I don't want to be like some of the other McDonald's workers...having a degree but not being able to get a job. How soon after nursing school would I be able to travel? Could I get a job out of state? Could I get a job at a Charity hospital? I would really love to work at an inner city hospital in the emergency section. Quick question: Nursing is nothing like television, is it? I've seen scrubs, and that much drama and silliness in a hospital is far too amusing to be true.

Any medical job is worth it, IF that is something that your are passionate about & love to do. To do it for money or the fact that you can find a job--those are the people who are miserable. Your best bet is to get a RN-either through the community college system or the university. There are pre-reqs and a wait list however. So it may take you a few years to even start. I also recommend volunteering at a hospital to really see the environment. You do work a lot of holidays & often night shifts; but I don't know why everyone thinks nurses have no time for themselves. If you do a 12 hour shift you get 3-4 days a week off or more--better than the average job. As to working in different states, once you pass the national exam all you need to do is apply for a license in which ever state you wish to work in. International nursing is far less common and rather difficult-but you are light-years away from that. To become a traveling RN with in the US, you would need several years experience working. Keep in mind, travelers are there to work, not site see.
2 :
Hard work, lots of studying, responsibility and accountability etc. I trained 30 years ago and quit last Christmas as times have changed for the worst and felt my patients weren't getting the care and dignity they deserve anymore !! Too many people doing the job with limited skills today and I'm a bit old fashioned (in my 40's) so standards slipped...just had enough.
3 :
If you want to do it, then its worth it. I think your family should be more supportive/encouraging of your goals & ideas. It sure beats McD's! Just FYI, to travel you need a Bachelors of Nursing, and you need to be able to speak fluently the language of the country (Spanish, French, etc as you indicated). You can travel locally (in the US, if that's where you're located) but this takes a couple years experience first before you can do this. To travel internationally is quite expensive, as it involves a lengthy process of obtaining licenses, etc. In some cases, licenses can take around 6 months to obtain... so its best if you're moving there for at least a year. You can work as much or as little as you want, as with any job. Where I work, a full time position is 2 day shift, followed by 2 night shifts, followed by 5 days off (which is technically 4, because you sleep for 1). All shifts are 12 hours. You are free to pick up overtime on your days off, which many people do. Sometimes you work holidays, but thats just part of the job. As far as ease in getting a job, it fluctuates. 2 years ago, it was dead easy to get a job anywhere as a new grad. Now, times are a lot tougher. However, in another year or two this will open back up- especially with this new health plan in place- and more nurses will be in demand. Definitely worth it. But do a degree, to give you more options. It'll save you upgrading later.

Exhaustion is great to me. I like to feel my body tell me that I've worked hard. I guess that's kind of weird. But, back to the question. Is nursing worth it? Will I have a hard time getting a job? I don't want to be like some of the other McDonald's workers...having a degree but not being able to get a job. How soon after nursing school would I be able to travel? Could I get a job out of state? Could I get a job at a Charity hospital? I would really love to work at an inner city hospital in the emergency section. Quick question: Nursing is nothing like television, is it? I've seen scrubs, and that much drama and silliness in a hospital is far too amusing to be true.

Any medical job is worth it, IF that is something that your are passionate about & love to do. To do it for money or the fact that you can find a job--those are the people who are miserable. Your best bet is to get a RN-either through the community college system or the university. There are pre-reqs and a wait list however. So it may take you a few years to even start. I also recommend volunteering at a hospital to really see the environment. You do work a lot of holidays & often night shifts; but I don't know why everyone thinks nurses have no time for themselves. If you do a 12 hour shift you get 3-4 days a week off or more--better than the average job. As to working in different states, once you pass the national exam all you need to do is apply for a license in which ever state you wish to work in. International nursing is far less common and rather difficult-but you are light-years away from that. To become a traveling RN with in the US, you would need several years experience working. Keep in mind, travelers are there to work, not site see.

Hard work, lots of studying, responsibility and accountability etc. I trained 30 years ago and quit last Christmas as times have changed for the worst and felt my patients weren't getting the care and dignity they deserve anymore !! Too many people doing the job with limited skills today and I'm a bit old fashioned (in my 40's) so standards slipped...just had enough.

If you want to do it, then its worth it. I think your family should be more supportive/encouraging of your goals & ideas. It sure beats McD's! Just FYI, to travel you need a Bachelors of Nursing, and you need to be able to speak fluently the language of the country (Spanish, French, etc as you indicated). You can travel locally (in the US, if that's where you're located) but this takes a couple years experience first before you can do this. To travel internationally is quite expensive, as it involves a lengthy process of obtaining licenses, etc. In some cases, licenses can take around 6 months to obtain... so its best if you're moving there for at least a year. You can work as much or as little as you want, as with any job. Where I work, a full time position is 2 day shift, followed by 2 night shifts, followed by 5 days off (which is technically 4, because you sleep for 1). All shifts are 12 hours. You are free to pick up overtime on your days off, which many people do. Sometimes you work holidays, but thats just part of the job. As far as ease in getting a job, it fluctuates. 2 years ago, it was dead easy to get a job anywhere as a new grad. Now, times are a lot tougher. However, in another year or two this will open back up- especially with this new health plan in place- and more nurses will be in demand. Definitely worth it. But do a degree, to give you more options. It'll save you upgrading later.

Does anyone have any advice for a person living on their own for the first time
Does anyone have any advice for a person living on their own for the first time?
I will be moving into my very own apartment for the first time in May after I finish my nursing degree next month. I will be starting off working in a hospital making $60,000 a year and they are going to help me pay back my student loans. Since I am going to be a traveling nurse, to Spain, housing is free. Anyway, does anyone have any advice for someone living on their own for the first time? Does anyone have any stories of bad mistakes that they made that you want others to avoid? In particular, are there any mistakes that caused you to lose a lot of money or cost you a lot of unneccesary money and if you had known what you knew now you would not have made the mistake?

Hello Xania. There is only one reason that American women are not permitted to be in combat in the US military forces. The Congress of the United States will not approve it because they believe that women would be tortured, raped and abused if captured by our enemies and made POWs. The Congress knows that there would be such an "outcry" by the American people if female American military soldiers were permitted into direct combat and subject to POW status and possible torture and rape. Think about the possibility of military women of "Spain or Canada" being POWs for 7 or more years in places like Vietnam! No other countries in the world can sustain wars around the world for 10 years or more like the US can. These other countries have a military that is designed only to protect their own country and ward off attacks by other countries. Best wishes, Larry Smith Senior Master Sergeant, USAF (Ret.) First Sergeant

unfortunetly there are no combat focused mos that allow women, so yes being a woman you would be cooking driving nursing or filing paperwork, but trust me i wish i joined one of those jobs instead of my hooah hooah combat mos. you may wanna fight now but wait until your in a bunker and everything around you is exploding. (dispite the avatar and name i am actually a man i just use my wifes yahoo account)
11 :
if you wanna fight then join as an MP and hope you get the chance to women are barred from all combat arms MOSs in the US because physically they cant do the job and unlike canada we're a country that handles a the vast majority of wars that we're a part of. it would be detrimental to the US military to have those with lower standards serving in area's where those lower standards would lead to a failed mission. if you have a problem with this, please write your congressman to complain about: *women having lower physical standards than males have *women being allowed to have more body fat then men more *women being able to get ouf of deployment by gettring pregnant with no repucrussions at all, while if a man does something to get out of deployment he gets a dishonorable discharge *women having different grooming standards than men if you want FAIR, then thats the first step towards equality
12 :
Cooking, cleaning, and nursing are not the only things women can do in the military. Cooking is an MOS that anybody can enlist for and cleaning is just a reality of being in the military; with the majority of the cleaning done by E-4s and below. Being a nurse is a respectable job and requires a bachelors degree in nursing. There are a lot of other jobs that you can do as a female that help advance the mission such as supply, administration, driving trucks, being military police and more. The reason women can't be infantry in the US is because Congress does not want women to be in direct combat jobs. Regardless on whether or not there are women capable of doing it, there aren't enough who are both willing and able to fight for the change. If you want to be in the infantry you really have two choices: either write your Congressperson and demand that they push to allow females in infantry or move to Canada and apply for residency. Option one probably won't do much since it would be political suicide for a politician to push to allow women to do infantry. Option two would be your best option but could take years depending on their immigration system and how long it takes before you're eligible to enter the Canadian military.

Xania, It is futile to try to have this conversations with the overwhelming majority of males on this board. Women should be allowed to join the infantry. It is a ridiculous law. Women are fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq as we speak. They have shown themselves to be courageous fighters and many have been awarded Purple Hearts, Silver Stars, Bronze Stars etc as a result of their courage and valor. They are carrying the same equipment as men. As for the argument that women would be raped as a POW. Yes, she probably will. But that does not mean that she should not be able to serve in infantry. She can be raped just as easily working in a support MOS, as infantry. Secondly, this denies the fact that MEN have been raped as a POW also. Do you really think that men weren't raped in Vietnam or in Andersonville or in a concentration camp? Do you really think men didn't come back from war broken men.? Suffering from PTSD? No one wants anyone to be raped, or tortured, or have their fingernails yanked out and then broken, or a number of other ways a person can be tortured but just because it happens does not mean that one should not serve just based on "what could happen." Secondly, no women in the military can do more than just "cook, clean and nurse" In fact, women are allowed in a number of MOS that use to be classified as combat but are now open to women. And guess what. They are serving with distinction. Every single MOS that opened up to women, women have met and exceeded the challenge that came with it. Third, the whole, "oh she has her period" argument is a nonsensical argument. Yes, women have their periods. Big deal. The Viet Cong use to be able to smell American soldiers "down wind" because they were meat eaters. Should we have banned meat eaters from serving? No and without being gross, I have been in the field for a month before. After a few days, guess what, we all stink so it doesn't matter. If you are going to have your period, take your supplies.Most tampons/pads are small and won't take any room. I think the men who make this argument really don't know a lot about women's reproductive health. If you want to join the military, than go ahead. As things stand right now, you can't join the infantry but that doesn't mean there won't be many other opportunities to serve that are combat related. However, I think things will eventually change. Probably not anytime soon because the trade off of the repeal of DADT is going to be women continuing to be excluded from infantry but I'll give it another 5 years (if we elect a Democrat next) or 10 years (if we elect a Republican) and women will be in infantry.
14 :
No, but you can become combat medic and get put in with an infantry platoon.
15 :
Because Infantry is a physically demanding job. It's not as simple as walking around and firing your weapon. You have to be strong enough to carry around 50-100 lbs of gear ALL DAY. You also have to be strong enough to drag a fellow soldier away if he gets wounded. Can you honestly see the average 120lb female with full gear on managing to pull/carry a male soldier away? By the end of the day most guys are absolutely worn out after going around all day hauling a load like that. Women in general are NOT as strong as men. I'm talking 99.9% of the time. It's not sexism. It's a fact. There are real psychological effects as well. Israel tested female infantry years ago. The results were disastrous and they admitted it. When the female soldiers were shot the men stopped pushing and stopped to protect the wounded female. Morale was also shot to hell at the sight of maimed females. It's just a natural male instinct. Man is the protector and the hunter. Everything Alexander M said is true. Make the standards the same and then we'll talk. All in all there is just too much that could go wrong by putting women on the battlefield. The system we have now works great and there is absolutely no incentive to change it.

Probably the best thing to do is to ask other girls from your school if they've had this vaccine/test and ask for the details. By the way, just because you've been fingered doesn't mean your hymen is gone. It could still be there. Also, there's many ways the hymen is lost that have nothing to do with sex.

I need answers! would you let your 18 year old daughter live and work in spain for 3 months on her own?
I need answers! would you let your 18 year old daughter live and work in spain for 3 months on her own? Were from ireland and spain is about 2 hours away on a plane.well she turns 18 next year so next summer she wants to go over to spain (mallorca) for 3 months to work ina bar or a local shop and rent a place, she loves this place and every year she says shes coming back when shes 18 for a few months for an experience. Do you think its ok to let her go on her own? she won't leave me alone i'll definately go over with her for the first week or 2 to make sure shes settled in and gets a job. shes even started saving for backup money incase she doesn't find a job, she says shes going to try and save up enough money to keep her going over there for 3 months so she doesn't have to get a job. shes also starting a one year college course in september till may so as soon as shes finished that she wants to head over. she says when she comes back after the 3 months she'll finish her college course and carry on studying nursing. what do you think? I just want her to be safe should i say yes and let her carry on saving?

how responsible is she? if she is very responsible, then sure.
3 :
i think u should let her, im a 14 ear old boy and im going from america to armenian(which is in aisa) by myself for 2 months i have family over their so i have a place to stay but she is all grown up let her go :))))
4 :
Yes definately.. and by the way.. not to be rude but she is 18 which means legally she can do whatever she wants.. maybe as her mom you shoudl start getting used to that.
5 :
I think that is a fabulous idea! If she desires that at the age of 18 and has the opportunity then I would say go for it. I think it is wonderful that you are there for her for support.
6 :
When she's 18, she'll be an adult and there's really nothing you can do to stop her. If she really wants to go, it would be good if she had your blessing. It sounds to me like she has planned things well. Time to cut the cord, I'm afraid.
7 :
when i was 18 i went to work in switzerland for a year, I think maybe if you let her go she will be more responsible later. It all depends on the type of girl your daugther is... if shes somebody who works hard, listens to your opinions and never really got in trouble.. you have raised her to make good choices. If you really feel she isn't mature enough then that's really up to you. You will never know if she can fly if you dont let her go.
8 :
You can't really stop her from saving her own money...and after she turns 18, you can't really stop her from traveling. Considering she's planning and going about it in a mature way (saving her own money, planning to get a job, doing her class and planning on continuing her education later) i think you should be supportive. It's one thing if she expects you to pay for everything for her trip, then you have power over it...but she's doing things on her own so you should just be supportive and help her if she needs it and where you think you can and should help.
9 :
I dont know what the laws are as far as age but here in the US at 18 there's really nothing you can do if she wants to go. Me I would be scared my daughter is 17 soon to be 18 and Im afraid of when the time comes when she wants to move out. If you havent see the move TAKEN go see it. Scared the hell out of me. 3 months is a long time to live in another country by herself. Does she have family or any friends Id be leery but again what can you do but tell them what you think.
10 :
Why not? A marvelous opportunity, travel broadens the mind and makes you a more responsible person.
11 :
Yes, and if you let her go, it will show her that you trust her and love her ;)
12 :
I hate living and working in spain for 3 months on my own
13 :
I think that next year when she is 18 it will be fine but you need to spend this year preparing her for the real world.
14 :
I think she should at least have someone with her. She just came out of high school. Why can't she work in Ireland? Don't let her go too far... I'm not saying you go with her, but have a friend go too.
15 :
i would let a 3 month old go to spain on her own for 18 years
16 :
Definitely! She's 18 years old, and adult. It will be a great experience for both of you. Just make sure she does her research and is safe, because you don't want her to end up like Amanda Knox (in foreign countries the government is very different, so you have to be careful, or you could be wrongly accused and your life ruined) Good Luck!!
17 :
She's 18. If she wants to do it, then you don't have a say. However, I would let her go as long as she had enough money and a relative plan to go about getting a job. It's good to see the world before you settle down and will look even better on her resume when she wants to get into a nursing job.
18 :
she seems very mature. I don't know what it's like in ireland, but in america, you are considered an adult at 18. So, "letting" her really isn't the right word. I think you should let her go, it seems like she is very confident that she is doing the right thing.
19 :
She is 18, technically it is her choice and not yours. But if she is responsible and you feel she'll be okay then I think you should support her decision to go.
20 :
Yes I would. She's considered an adult now (well IDK about Ireland but she is in the US) and well you can't stop her. You shouldn't go with her for 2 weeks, she needs to learn how to sink and swim on her own now. I think its time for you to let go, and its her money she can do want she's wants with it.
21 :
she will be 18 so you don't have any say. she will be an adult. Kara
22 :
she's 18, let her spread her wings and make her mistakes. and clean them up her self and start HER life as an adult and as an individual.
23 :
Ok well she is 18 and legally an adult. So you cannot actually "let" her or stop her. And you have to cut the apron strings eventually and realise that she is not a baby anymore but a full functioning adult
24 :
Yes.
25 :
If I had the choice, I wouldn't allow her, but you don't get aa choice if she's 18. She's an adult.

Urgent help, we have around our land in spain a yellow plant growing wild, trying to find pictures it has a?
flower that looks like ragwort but also looks like goldenrod can anyone from spain tell me what this is and is it a poisonous plant and what should I do with it, should I treat it like ragwort. As the grazing is getting low in the areas without these plants and it is very good near these I want to know if it is safe to let them near or should I carry on cutting the grass ( as we do not have much grazing in spain I do not want to let the good grass go). Also information required on ulcers in horses, what is the recommended diet to help with this, I wrote last week about our thin horse and looking at the web it does look like this could be his problem, as I said is worms and bloods where ok but he is very thin even through he has a good diet, I am trying to increase slowly in tune with him putting on weight and this is helping but we are coming up to winter (Yes it does get cold here in the hills) He is very sensitive and a nervous horse so I am also looking at a natural or slow releasing worming program for him, I am a little nervous about the Garlic type wormer as I have read this causes Anemia and i do not want to add to his troubles. again any info would be of help in the above so I can get started ASAP with nursing him back to full health.

2 :
it could be a plant called rape which is what rapeseed oil is made from regarding wormers if you want to take the natural route you should ask the vet for a worm count done by collecting his dung which is then analysed to see how high the worm count is first then decide which wormer to use as nowadays most people have a 3 year worming programme in place especially if he is out with lots of other horses as for garlic i feed my horses pure garlic powder in with the feed as it helps to clear the respiritory or horse that are a bit thick in the wind

Where's the best place to study abroad for spanish
Where's the best place to study abroad for spanish?
I really am having a hard time deciding where I'd like to spend a some time studying spanish and studying nursing, I prefer not to have spain since there are different tenses you don't normally learn in school. I've been to Antigua, Guatemala and loved it and also Puerto Rico and spent some time in Miami. any people who've had first hand experiences would be much appreciated! thanks

Ummmmmmmmmmm. Spain. Where the language originated. I lived in Sevilla. Best program available to me at the time...Program was right in the University, with Spanish students...I took several classes with them, NOT the ones that were set up for us foreigners. Did pretty well, too! Madrid has some good Universities, as does Barcelona, and Salamanca, being the oldest University in the country, has that historic feature.... Good programs abound. Granada, Oviedo and Alicante have some really great schools, too. And I know people who studied in Santander. I would avoid the Basque country, as the people there are fiercely independent, and may not be as friendly about speaking Spanish. (DO NOT take that as a recommendation against visiting, though...pretty country! Great people! Incredible food (so I hear...I didn't eat a lot there...mostly bread and butter! Seriously budgeted trip).) But I wouldn't recommend studying there unless you want to learn Euskadi (or is it Euskara?) I wouldn't say the same of Galicia and Barcelona...everyone uses Castellano there, as well as knowing their own language.

John, there´s a lot of nursing schools in México. Universities offer the degree. You can try looking for at dcs.mty.itesm.mx It is the site of Health Sciences Division, at ITESM; y Monterrey. However, I should tell you that nurses are not well paid in Mexico,
2 :
EQUIVALENT????? WELL FOREIGN NURSES HAVE TO PASS SOME EXAMINATIONS, and dependind of the state nursing board they will have to fulfill other requirements, so they are allow to work, so maybe is better if you ask directly to the board of the state(s) you intend to work and also in the COMISSION OF FOREIGN NURSING SCHOOLS: http://www.cgfns.org. This is a very general idea of what they ask to foreign nurses: Under the INS regulations, there are three primary eligibility requirements for foreign nurses who wish to work in the US on an H-1C visa: They must have an unrestricted license to work as a professional nurse in the country where they received their nursing training, or have received that training in the US; They must pass an examination approved by the Department of Health and Human Services or have a license to work as a professional nurse in the state where they will work; and They must be eligible to work as a registered nurse under both the laws of the state where they will work and the regulations of the facility where they will work. Currently, the examination is that offered by the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS). CGFNS certifies that the foreign nurse’s training and license are equivalent to a similarly situated US nurse, that all their documents are authentic, that the foreign nurse has an unrestricted license, that the foreign nurse is sufficiently proficient in written and spoken English, and that the foreign nurse has in fact passed a state licensing exam. Questions about the exam may be directed to CGFNS through its website at NOW ABOUT WORKING IN MEXICO: 1.-To work in Mexico you will need a work permit. 2.-Depending the state you work as foreigner, for a nurse you will need to get a certificate and registration from the Health Secretariat. 3.-In 2004 25.5% of Nurses were unemployed, and 14.1% of those who had jobs were in areas not related to nursing. So getting a job will probably not be so easy. 4.- They don't enjoy the same salary or status that they have here in the USA since they are not allowed to prescribed medicines, or give a diagnosis in Mexico, they are mere subordinates of the MDs. 5.- In 2004 there were 22,889 enroll students of nursing. 6.-There are 64 educations institutions that offer this degree. 23% of those are private; and those are the ones where it will be easier for you to get accepted. Overall these private institutions did not have more then 670 students (TWO FACTORS: higher tuition, and there alumni don't have access to the same jobs, as other public institutions with more recognition and tradition). 7.-SALARY: 40% of nurses in 2004 had a salary below the equivalent to 4 minimum wages, that means they earn less then 15 us dollar per day.

John, there´s a lot of nursing schools in México. Universities offer the degree. You can try looking for at dcs.mty.itesm.mx It is the site of Health Sciences Division, at ITESM; y Monterrey. However, I should tell you that nurses are not well paid in Mexico,

EQUIVALENT????? WELL FOREIGN NURSES HAVE TO PASS SOME EXAMINATIONS, and dependind of the state nursing board they will have to fulfill other requirements, so they are allow to work, so maybe is better if you ask directly to the board of the state(s) you intend to work and also in the COMISSION OF FOREIGN NURSING SCHOOLS: http://www.cgfns.org. This is a very general idea of what they ask to foreign nurses: Under the INS regulations, there are three primary eligibility requirements for foreign nurses who wish to work in the US on an H-1C visa: They must have an unrestricted license to work as a professional nurse in the country where they received their nursing training, or have received that training in the US; They must pass an examination approved by the Department of Health and Human Services or have a license to work as a professional nurse in the state where they will work; and They must be eligible to work as a registered nurse under both the laws of the state where they will work and the regulations of the facility where they will work. Currently, the examination is that offered by the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS). CGFNS certifies that the foreign nurse’s training and license are equivalent to a similarly situated US nurse, that all their documents are authentic, that the foreign nurse has an unrestricted license, that the foreign nurse is sufficiently proficient in written and spoken English, and that the foreign nurse has in fact passed a state licensing exam.

How to learn fluent Spanish to go to school in Madrid
How to learn fluent Spanish to go to school in Madrid?
I want to do Saint Louis University's international nursing program. The first two years of the program are located in Madrid, Spain. I want to go there speaking fluent Spanish. I'm planning on taking four years of high school Spanish, but I don't honestly learn that much. What else can I do?

Rosetta Stone is an excellent program to help you learn Spanish. I have used it. It is expensive, but it works. You can also rent movies on DVD and turn on the Spanish language. This helps you attune your ear. There are some free programs on the internet that you translate and receive a critique from native speakers, but it is slow going because you have to wait for a response.
2 :
Honey, you aren't going to be fluent enough to understand what's going on UNTIL YOU ARE LIVING THERE. It will probably take you about a month or two to get up to speed. there are many ways you can augment your classes. Find some Spanish speakers to meet with once a week and exchange language practice. (there should be some in school, there who want to practice with you.) find some penpals, some people online to chat with, people to use msn or skype with. Nosayudamos.ning.com. Site to practice with natives.

Living in US. Wanting to Move to Spain
Living in US. Wanting to Move to Spain.?
Hola todos! I think I might want to move to Spain after college which is in 2017. Thats after I get my masters. I want to become a nurse-midwife and I was wondering how hard would it be to make a living there and how I will have to start off there. I looked on this website and it said that midwifes are in demand over there. I am a high school senior right now and I'm trying really hard to attend college in Madrid, Spain for two years. Help me please. And also I know that I will have to learn spanish, which i am practicing with hispanics every day. I am a US citizen

First, you live in the US, but where is your passport from? Are you a US citizen? Because it's very difficult to get a work/long-term visa for Spain if you're not from the EU. Start researching things in depth, and you might be able to do this. START by thinking about doing a year abroad in Spain (so you will know the language, and the culture, and maybe set up some sort of connections, and maybe have that visa paperwork done). BTW, it's really important to check into whether your chosen career is even a viable choice. My impression of medicine in Spain is that they are pretty conservative. ¡Buena suerte!

It really depends on what standard of living you want. The wages will be much lower here than in the States.We can't foresee 2017 and the job market, or the problems you may have getting a work visa here, so best to plan to get your degree, then find work in the US and ask this question then!

I'm not disputing that Midwives may be in demand in Spain at the moment, but that may not be the case in 7 years time. - If this is something that you have your heart set on then you should be aware that just because you have a medical qualification in the US it does mean that your qualification will be valid or recognized here in Spain. In order for it to be recognized you need to go through a validation process which can tale a number of months, and almost always requires that you have been in practice in the country where you studied and qualified for a certain length of time. - Have a look at this link which tells you how to get your professional qualification recognized in Spain - http://www.tumbit.com/how-to-guides/articles/121-how-to-get-your-professional-qualification-recognised-in-spain.html

Having lived in Madrid for 2 years, I can say that you need to consider several things. St. Louis university has a program in Madrid and they even have nursing classes at the one of the major private hospitals there. As for nurse midwives being in demand, well, the average Spanish woman does not have a child until after she is 30 and it is rare to see a family with more than 1 child. As you finish your 4 year program and move on to your masters work, you will want to consider the risk of delivering older mothers. While malpractice is rare, it is present there. A person with an advanced degree in a area of need, should not have too much trouble getting into Spain to work. The thing that was catching fever pitch when I left was anti-immigrant feelings that were increasing as the economy started to fall several years ago. Shake downs of immigrants was a daily thing regardless of race and nationality. As to learning Spanish with Mexicans. In Spain the Spanish is different. Most of my friends learned Latin American Spanish and when we got to Spain we all had a laugh about how people would not like to speak to us until we learned European Castilian. Even our Mexican friend was made fun of because of his accent. They are very protective of the original language, but you will find many Latin Americans there anyway. The one thing that I would say, and I hope changes by the time that you are there, Contrary to popular belief, there is a lot of crime in Madrid. Mainly in the form of pickpockets and purse snatching but armed robbery is now a fact of life there. Before you commit to your university money there, I would recommend a program like a gap semester/year program or a great one that is 20 km from Madrid, called pueblo Ingles. The main purpose of the program is to teach Spanish people English, but the room and board is free and you will get a feel for the country. I have included a link so that you can have a look at the program. Be sure to ask them lots of questions if you are interested.

The nurse advised me at my sons 9month review that i have to pull the skin down on his penis to the base?
at my sons 9 month review the nurse advised me i have to pull the skin down on his penis to the base of his penis and hold for about 10 seconds i have to do this everyday. I asked why i had to do this and he replied it helps the skin stretch so he wont have any probs as an adult. I have never heard this, we live and spain and speaking to other mums it is common here. I dont feel comfortable doing this to him. I have spoken to freinds and relatives in england and they have never heard fo it before. My husband who is english has never heard of it either. I dont want to do this to him if its not necessary. Has anybody else heard of this? thanks for replying, he is not circumcised. thanks again for the answers they are very helpful xx

If he circumcised it is absolutely necessary. The skin on the head of the penis can regrow and cause a lot of problems. If it regrows from not being pulled back some children end up needing surgeries. So if he's circumcised, make sure you pull the skin back to clean it every time you change him. If he is uncircumcised, as far as I know, it's a no-no to pull the skin back. Make sure if you ever have questions to ask your nurse or doctor, so that you fully understand. You want to make sure you know the correct way to care for it hygienically, circumcised or not to avoid infections. Good luck.
2 :
Absolutely NOT! You do NOT (and SHOULD NOT) retract the foreskin on an infant! It's not meant to be separated from the head of the penis this early! It will retract on its own when your son is older. Never, EVER force the foreskin back from the penis in an infant - you can damage him!
3 :
My son's pediatricians said that the skin on his penis should go down fully by the time he is 2 or 3 YEARS old and that we should not force it down - under no circumstances. However, he is not circumcise - in that case, I wouldn't know what to do. It did happen once, that the skin slip on my fingers when I was cleaning his penis and I couldn't get it back up. It got sort of stuck down there. I had to call the doctor to get it back up. As all of this when on, blood was making his penis "enlarge" and it was getting uncomfortable for my son... It was extremely stressful. So, from now on - I never push it. I'm really careful about it. It will go down when it's time.
4 :
I have two little boys and have always been told to never ever retract the foreskin this is something they will do themselves!!
5 :
There is no way I would do that. It sounds like it could cause more problems than anything! I'm English and I've never been told such a thing. My son will be three in January and has no problems.

The only thing that I can help you with is to get you in the right frame of reference. Women in the 18th century were not military or hospital "nurses" in the sense we know today. A nurse was the caregiver to someone else's infant. Women that helped give support to soldiers in those times were called "camp followers". In later wars that term came to mean the prostitutes that accompanied armies but in the 18th century it refered to any civilian male or female that helped the cause for love or profit. Women camp followers were almost always married in order to be respectable. If a husband died she went home or remarried immediately, usualy to a tentmate of her late husband. There were no single women allowed among the enlisted men. The only single woman that might be found in a camp or fort would be the sister,daughter,aunt or widowed mother of a high ranking officer. Female camp followers cooked,hauled water and wood,laundered clothing and foraged for food to support the efforts of the soldiers. On the battlefield they along with male camp followers (surgeons, merchants, tradesmen,scouts) bravely went about unarmed tending to the wounded, bringing water to the front lines, dragging the wounded (particularly their family members or friends) out of harm's way. The "nursing" done was cleaning and binding of wounds. Most women were handy with a needle and could stitch simple wounds.Larger wounds would be cauterized by burning with brand,hot tar or hot pitch. Antiseptics and antibiotics, in fact sanitation was unknown.Women and male surgeons washed and reused bandages. So take this scene set here and apply it to whatever battle you research.

Is Spain safe for me? I am worried
Is Spain safe for me? I am worried?
Hi, my name is Magdalena and I am a Colombian girl, I work as a registered nurse in the US and here I met my boyfriend who is English. He owns an apartment in Spain in a city called Valencia so he is asking me to go with him for some months. I have been in Europe before but only to London, Belgium, Holland and France....... people in those countries are quite normal, meaning not racist or very angry but supposedly from what I saw on tv in Spain they kick foreigners in the face and spit on them and is absolutely ok by their cultural standards. sorry to generalize but I heard in Spain people are quite racist and rude so I am hesitant about going there as I am not like a blonde haired blue eyed european (from my understanding they only like u if ur like german or swedish or stuff like that) I really dont wanna go spend my money in a place where I'll be mistreated..... my boyfriend claim I'll be ok, but I dont know.... I wanna hear less biased opinions.

I've had heard the same, and before I visit the country I was worry as u are now, but, besides accidents can happen, normaly, spanish people is nice. Of course they tent to think ALL LATINAMERICANS we are possible illegal inmigrants, I have heard mexicans were not considered on this categorie, but in several times I was taken as southamerican (everyone who knows the continent knows that Mexico is not southamerica), and since this condition, I can tell u that I was very well treated. My best friend lives in Córdoba, She's doing P.H.D. studies and she has not complains. My best wishes for your holidays with your boyfriend, btw, mine is spanish

Oh, we're not racists!!! Yes, there are racist Spaniards of course. But there are racist latin Americans as well!!! We just have an inmigration problem (too many inmigrants and little control) so, the situation is a little uncontrolled, and most Spaniards tend to think that a lot of latin Americans are possible illegal aliens as someone has said on the previous answer. But we share a lot of cultural similarities with latin America, so we're like brothers and sisters!!! Average Spaniards are friendly and polite, it doesn't mean you can't find rude Spaniards, but as you've said, it is a generalization, so it is unfair for us. There are good and bad people just like in every country. Don't worry and enjoy Spain. To kick someboy's face or spit in someone is not OK by our cultural standards, and they musn't be on any nation's standards!. That's truly rude!!! PD: Valencia is the third largest city in Spain, and has everything so I hope you like it!!

Okay, I have blonde hair, green eyes, fair skin, and a decidedly American accent. NEVER NEVER NEVER experienced, heard of nor seen ANYTHING like what you describe. First of all, you are Spanish speaking, and will surely be quite welcome there. I have ONLY had good experiences in Spain...people wonderful, warm, loving, generous, caring. I have NO IDEA where you got this idea. Now, thirty - thirty five years ago, I was told it was accepted to spit on the gypsies...I never saw it happen. (and, to be honest, they aren't sitting with their hands out anymore, either...at least they now have SOME semblance of working for a living.) There is SOME prejudice and looking down on the shiftless and the illegals (they have just as much of a problem as we have here, in the US), except their problems is with the Africans who cross at Tarifa looking for work. Most of these guys wind up selling stuff on the beaches and at the restaurants' sidewalk and terrace seating. Some live by sleeping on trains without paying for tickets. There are indigents everywhere. What you talk about is a problem with the expats who live near Málaga, where there may be some ill-will, but I cannot believe that the behavior you describe is accepted anywhere in Spain. You won't be mistreated. I doubt very much that there are ANY such problems in Valencia. They are very modern and industrialized in Spain, and you are more likely to run into prejudice in France and Germany than in Spain. (particularly violence). Such things are terribly frowned upon. Besides, Valencia has just opened this huge, modern science city, held the Yachting race last year, and trying to hold their own as an up and coming toiurist center, and they are going to be very aggressive about protecting the tourists who are visiting such sites. I really wonder what report you saw? Kicking someone, for any reason, would be considered assault, and a jailable offense. No. Spaniards are very welcoming, and you should feel very much at home there. You might even find a few fellow Colombianos working there. I met one in the bar I hung out in in Madrid last year.

Spain is a country that has accepted foreigners of all kinds, colours and creeds for decades. There are people here from half of the world and most get along well with everyone else! I myself am north american/ french (mitad-mitad) and I married a spaniard 36 years ago... I've been here ever since. My daughters godmother is from Peru, she married a spaniard and has lived in Valencia for the last 30 odd years... sin problema... The racist problems are in the parts of the country (mostly Madrid & Barcelona) where latinamerican immigrants kids have formed the Bandas Callejeras similar to those in the USA like the "Latin Kings". So far they are not too bad, but every time they do something outrageous, it evidently gets in the daily news... And the spanish groups of skinheads that go after them are no better. But on general terms, Spain is no more dangerous than any other country in the western world, and actually it is probably safer than many! No te preocupes...y disfruta de tu viaje a España!!! Es un pais genial!!! PS... Valencia is a lovely city there are plenty of great things to visit. The Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, the beaches, the port area... Plenty of things to do and see if you come to Spain on vacation!

"in Spain they kick foreigners in the face and spit on them and is absolutely ok by their cultural standards" that shows how much u know about our "cultural standars" es injusto decir que todos los españoles somos racistas, seria como decir que todos los colombianos son traficantes de droga, los alemanes borrachos etc seguro que tienes más posibilidades de que te escupan, te den una patada en la cara o te peguen un tiro en US que en españa

All I have to say is.....you live in the US, a country that is filled with immigration and racists. And I know this because I live in LA. I am surrounded by immigrants and I'm also surrounded by people who absolutely hate them! Spain is my country, I lived there for 16 years of live and it is a great country to be at. Great culture and amazing people. If you start comparing Spain and the US, you'll be way better off in Spain.

Being African American and Spanish I've had absolutely no problem in Spain I have family who lives in Sevilla and go to visit them every year. Trust me people in Spain are really nice and i will guarantee that you will have a great time.

Well, is not exactly like that but you have to get used to the way they look at you just for the color of your skin..

Hi, my name is Magdalena and I am a Colombian girl, I work as a registered nurse in the US and here I met my boyfriend who is English. He owns an apartment in Spain in a city called Valencia so he is asking me to go with him for some months. I have been in Europe before but only to London, Belgium, Holland and France....... people in those countries are quite normal, meaning not racist or very angry but supposedly from what I saw on tv in Spain they kick foreigners in the face and spit on them and is absolutely ok by their cultural standards. sorry to generalize but I heard in Spain people are quite racist and rude so I am hesitant about going there as I am not like a blonde haired blue eyed european (from my understanding they only like u if ur like german or swedish or stuff like that) I really dont wanna go spend my money in a place where I'll be mistreated..... my boyfriend claim I'll be ok, but I dont know.... I wanna hear less biased opinions.

I want work in a hospital abroad, what qualifications would I need
I want work in a hospital abroad, what qualifications would I need?
I am thinking of becoming a nurse and hopefully once I have got all my qualifications I could move to either Italy or spain (I'm half Italian, half Spanish so I can speak both languages fluently and have large family who I could stay with) and do work there. So, to do this what qualifications would I need? Would I have to go to uni? And do what course? For how long?? Please answer as many of my questions as possible. Thanks in advance, Lucia

Check out the impressive Taylor Theater. Some of the greatest Southern Europe theatrical events have been hosted at the Taylor Theater over the years. Taylor Theater is an experience that you did not want to turn a blind eye to without doubt.

you need to have gone to medical school
3 :
It's shocking that those two first answerers didn't answer your question at all.. or even help for that matter... anyway. If you want to come an ADN(you can get this at a technical,2 year college) or BSN(some 4 year colleges offer this program, but you may have to find a medical college), first find a program, (they pay the same, BSN's work in hospitals usually and can advance easier, and ADN's can work in doctor's offices, schools, government facilities, stuff like that- with either degree you can become an RN) but check with whichever program you go into if they have information on "traveling nurse jobs" it's really what it's called. But you probably could just get your degree and then just go on over there.

Points to whoever answers some questions about MOVING to Spain (PEOPLE WHO HAVE LIVED OR LIVE IN SPAIN ONLY)
Points to whoever answers some questions about MOVING to Spain (PEOPLE WHO HAVE LIVED OR LIVE IN SPAIN ONLY)
My Mother and I have been wanting to move to Spain for sometime. We're US citizens, although my mother was born in Latin America. We both know Spanish and are educated. So, language is not an issue. She has a major in Psychology and I have a high school diploma and Nurses Aide experience and license. What is the process a US citizen has to go through to immigrate there? --I assume, we'd need a workers visa in order to stay there. How long does it take for a foreigner to gain citizenship? How easy is it to find a job there? and how is the price of living? --I've heard it's one of the cheapest European countries, is that true? Any other information you can add would be of great help. Thank You, in advanced.

I know that you'll have to find a job here before you come so that they can sponsor you to come over but I don't know how easy that will be when it might be easier for them to just hire a European who requires no paper work and is multilingual. I have no idea how long it will take to gain citizenship but I think it's a pretty long time - my friend just married a Spaniard and she's American and it's she can't technically have both citizenships but I think she told me the process is long anyways. I guess it depends on the type of work your looking for to judge the relative ease of getting a job here. If you come from a different European country or are traveling around Europe and reach Spain it will certainly look like it is a lot cheaper but if you are living in Spain it will feel just as expensive because the wages here suck. They haven't had a significant pay increase in years.

--I've heard it's one of the cheapest European countries, is that true? Ooooooh not anymore! One of the more expensive countries...about the same as France. To find a job, they are in recession right now, so, pretty difficult for the time being, but these things always go in cycles, and as they come out of the recession, you will see more jobs being created. For the citizenship question, call the nearest consulate. They would have the most accurate information, but I'm going to warn you, red tape in Spain is an incredible nest! Even the Spanish don't know what the rules are on some things, because they change, almost with the mood of the person you are speaking to. If language is not an issue, and you want to live where they don't speak a lot of English (and they are ALWAYS unfailingly impressed when you can use verb forms correctly, etc.) go inland, or north. Stay away from Barcelona, Madrid, and the tourist centers, as everywhere you go there's English speakers. For a truly Spanish experience, live in Central or northern AndalucÃa, or the West, or one of the small cities in the Eastern part of the country, like Zaragoza. Hey! you might be able to get work at the expo... Your degress won´t make you that exceptional, but are probably marketable. I didn´t have to worry about all those details when I lived there. Times were different, and I was, after all, a student. No job, no work visa, and none of those worries...but if you really want to make the move on a permanent basis, you need to check with the Spanish authorities. They can give you the most up-to-date information, and start the paperwork, because I know that Visas are getting harder and harder to come by.

What is the process a US citizen has to go through to immigrate there? --I assume, we'd need a workers visa in order to stay there. Im sorry i dont know the true answer to this one because i came to Spain from England and needed no Visa to do anything, i think you may need one if you are from America, look it up on google that would be very helpful to you, espcially the embassy's they will have this sort of info. How long does it take for a foreigner to gain citizenship? 10 years, to get a Spanish passport you have to have been a registered resident in Spain for 10years, when you get here you just go to the local town hall and register, it takes ages for papers (like 1year or can be more, but it gets done) it doesnt cause you problems in the mean time, ive lived here 7years and never got these papers and i know there are hundreds of people just in my town that havent bothered either, its not a major thing, the N.I.F. number is more important (that is very easy to get and takes like a week) this lets you work etc. How easy is it to find a job there? and how is the price of living? --I've heard it's one of the cheapest European countries, is that true? Right now things are hard for us, where i live it was a major industry to build and sell houses and now (like with most of the world right now) no one can get mortgaes and so cant buy houses, this has put 14 estate agencies out of business in my town alone this year!!! and builders are suffering because they cant sell the houses they are building, food prices have gone up!!! this will fix itself though (soon we hope) depends where you go for work if you go to the coast its all about tourism so it is easier to get a job in summer than any other time, finding work has never really been hard (for my family and friends anyway) and with what you both have i dont think it would be a problem for you either. good luck here are some helpful links: http://www.spain-visas.com/ http://www.theexpatcoach.com/program_one.html?gclid=CJT10uT39pQCFQUvlAodxkcnBA http://www.embusa.es/
