Major in Nursing, Minor in Spanish, Study Abroad

Major in Nursing, Minor in Spanish, Study Abroad?
Okay so I was wondering would I be able to study abroad because of my nursing major? is nursing different in different countries? I looked on the colleges that I applied to and they dont have a study abroad program where I can do my public health in Spain. It is my dream to go to there and become fluent in spanish. Should I just not study abroad? :-(

That is completely up to your school. Some have nursing programs where you go through in a specific order in a group and they do not allow study abroad. Medicine is hardly ever taught in English either, so it will be very hard to find a program is you are wanting Spain. You can throw nursing out the window for a year and go for a language program. Nursing is not a college degree in other countries, they still go by the system that we used to use, having nursing schools (my mom went to nursing school before they were added to our college system). This is also why it is very difficult to do nursing abroad. No matter what you do, if you go abroad, it will set you back time wise. You can declare a Spanish major as well and go over (a minor would only justify you being there for a semester, not enough time to become fluent). Also, not having a study abroad program does not mean a whole lot, it just means that at the moment there is no standing agreement, but they can make one if you do want to go study Spanish. But, again, because nursing is not taught at colleges, you would be going there to study Spanish, and maybe to get a few gen eds like lit out of the way.

I like it. I dont see why he would be teased from that name.
2 :
It's a pretty cool name. I don't think he will be teased for that super cool name! You and your partner sure do have great taste!
3 :
since it means River in Spanish and Portuguese too, it would work really well if you associate with one of those cultures! Otherwise, I don't think it's that good
4 :
i like it....sounds strong
5 :
i think this name is cute I like the names that are not heard to often or if it a common name spell it different my daughters name is zoee Danyelle my sons is Landon James Dakota good luck to you
6 :
Rio does mean River in Portugese I also Like Tiago it means happy
7 :
I like rio...but if you dont, go with Rico or something like that. Jamario is close, it still has the "rio" in it, or even mario
8 :
I don't care for it, but that's just me...

If I went to school with someone named rio, i'd tease him.

I think the name Rio is lovely, My friend named her son Rio and since the day he was born people have commented about what a lovely name it is. So i think you should go for it

13 :
I love that name. Theres no reason why he should be teased
14 :
It does make me think of Rio Ferdinand, but other than that, its a cute name. Go for it. Ferdinand's only a footballer, he'll disappear off the charts in a few years. Your baby will be around for a lot longer.
15 :
I hope Mummy changes her mind. Rio is awful, sorry
16 :
Mummy wants to call you that because she wants you to be teased like she was (even though she had a pretty name).
17 :
I really like it but I think there was a Rio i knew way back when who got teased (but thats mostly because he was a bit bigger than most and they called him Rio Grande...it was just elementary school) I don't think he would be teased though and i really like the name

Do you think that the U.S. government would send us

Do you think that the U.S. government would send us...?
Do you think that the U.S. government would send us into war under false pretenses? Consider the following... Spanish-American war, 1898: The surprise explosion of the battleship Maine at Havana, Cuba. 255 of the crew died. The Hearst press accused the Spanish, claiming that the explosion was caused by a remote-controlled mine. The USA declared war on Spain, and conquered Philippines, Guam and Cuba. Subsequent investigations revealed that the explosion originated inside the Maine and that it was either an accident, such as a coal explosion, or some type of time bomb inside the battleship. Divers investigating the shipwreck found that the armour plates of the ship were blown bending outwards, not inwards. It wasn't until 1980 that the U.S. admitted that the Spanish had nothing to do with the sinking of the battleship Maine. Operation Northwoods, or Northwoods, was a false-flag operation plan that originated within the United States government in 1962. The plan called for Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) or other operatives to commit genuine acts of terrorism in U.S. cities and elsewhere. These acts of terrorism were to be blamed on Cuba in order to create public support for a war against that nation, which had recently become communist under Fidel Castro. One part of the Operation Northwoods plan was to "develop a Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington." Operation Northwoods included proposals for hijackings and bombings followed by the introduction of phony evidence that would implicate the Cuban government. This operation was never carried out. The previously secret document was originally made public on November 18, 1997, by the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Review Board. Vietnam War 1964: The second Tonkin Gulf incident was originally claimed by the U.S. National Security Agency to have occurred on August 4, 1964, as a naval battle, but instead may have involved the "Tonkin Ghosts", and no actual NVN Torpedo Boat attacks. The outcome of this second incident was the passage by Congress of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which granted President Lyndon B. Johnson the authority to assist any Southeast Asian country whose government was considered to be jeopardized by "communist aggression". The resolution served as Johnson's legal justification for deploying U.S. conventional forces and the commencement of open warfare against North Vietnam. It wasn't until 2005 that it was discovered that the second "Gulf of Tonkin" incident never happened. The 1st Gulf War: Some of you might remember the testimony of "Nurse Nayirah" in the media. She was a fifteen-year-old Kuwaiti girl, who alleged that she had witnessed the murder of infant children by Iraqi soldiers in Kuwait, in verbal testimony to the U.S. Congress. Nayirah was later disclosed to be Nayirah al-Sabah, daughter of Saud bin Nasir Al-Sabah, Kuwaiti ambassador to the USA. She was demonstrated to have connections to the public relations firm Hill & Knowlton, which was at that time working for Citizens for a Free Kuwait. The latter activist group was organized by the exiled Kuwaiti government, to gain support for the Kuwaiti cause. All of this info has been declassified and is completely verifiable. Also consider this... The Bush family, the Saudi Royal Family and the Bin Laden family have been business partners since the 1980's. Bush 43's first oil business, Arbusto Energy, was primarily financed by the Bin Laden family. Was 9/11 allowed to happen as a pretext for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq???

i did not even read all that jibberish. according to my magic eight ball , the answer is "without a doubt." 8 ball or not, the answer is yes.

I dont think president Bush knew about 9-11. Not only because i don't think he knows too much, but I also believe when you get to the mantle of the president of the United States you're put in a place where you can't have bad intentions. There's too much responsibility and having the world looking at you, your intentions can never be more purer. His decisions are absolutely wrong, but in my experience , I stop questioning a president's intention. You can disagree, and boy do I disagree, with his action, but don't question his patriotism.... Cheney on the other hand...

I think yes, but I also am a conspiracy theorist so idk if what I think matters, but here we go. I think we were bombed and we didn't know, but we knew this was going to happen eventually hence the towers were attacked once before in 91' i believe so whatever anyway. You know I think we were waiting for an excuse to seize oil over there, I believe we have many excuses why we are still at war over there. I think we really need to focus on the true intentions of the war. but we are a selfish country!
4 :
Great historical precedents there. Yeah I absolutely believe 9/11 was an inside job & (on a side note) I find it VERY interesting how quick liberal scion Noam Chomsky was to dismiss the debate as ludicrous when the story our govt has been pedaling as truth is ludicrous. I think the video Small Change does a very good job of debunking "the story." I too believe in some conspiracy theories because the "truth" given out to us is bull like you know the "lone gunman theory" for instance & because war is the most lucrative business. Btw, if you haven't seen the Aaron Russo interview where his friend at the time Nick Rockerfeller told him 9/11 was an inside job and a whole lot of other interesting stuff, do check it out.

edit/proofread my paper

edit/proofread my paper?
My paper on bergen belsen for eighth grade honors english find any errors, constructive criticism, it'd be greatly appreciated Infamous for claiming the death of Anne Frank, along with 50,000 others, Bergen-Belsen has become a notorious symbol of the horrors that occurred during World War II in concentration camps across Europe. Known for the unbelievably filthy and overcrowded living spaces, along with the mass graves, an immense typhus epidemic and the monumental liberation, Bergen-Belsen represents a portion of the unfathomable crimes committed during World War II. Located south of the small towns of Bergen and Belsen, and 11 miles north of Celle, Germany, Bergen-Belsen was originally set up as a POW camp in 1940. It was used to hold prisoners that were eligible to be traded for German citizens in allied internment camps. In April, 1943 the SS Economic-Administration Office, which controlled the concentration camp system, overtook part of Bergen-Belsen and converted it to a civilian residence camp, and later into the infamous concentration camp that is known today for the horrors that took place within the barbed wire fences. The camp was divided into various sections. The three main sections were the Prisoner of War camp, the residence camp and the prisoner’s camp. The residence camp consisted of four smaller camps, the neutral camp, the special camp, the star camp, and the Hungarian camp. The prisoner’s camp consisted of the recuperation camp, the tent camp, the small women’s camp, the large women’s camp and the original prisoner’s camp. Inmates from each division of Bergen-Belsen were separated from each other by barbed wire fences that isolated each part of the camp. The “neutral camp� housed several hundred Jews from neutral countries such as Spain, Argentina, Portugal and Turkey. Conditions were decent up until March of 1945, and prisoners were not forced to work. Until the liberation of Bergen-Belsen, many other Jews from neutral countries were placed in this unit of Bergen-Belsen. The “special camp� of the Residence unit of Bergen-Belsen consisted of thousands of Polish Jews that possessed temporary passports from South America, that were therefore deported to Bergen-Belsen. Though they were strictly isolated because of their knowledge of the cruelties that took place in Poland, the residents did not have to work. The Bergen-Belsen Memorial Site booklet states that “By mid 1944, most of this group had been transported to Auschwitz and murdered. Only about 350 of them remained.� The “Star Camp� held around four thousand Jewish prisoners, the majority from the Netherlands. Conditions were better than most of the camp and instead of the striped prison uniform, prisoners wore a Star of David on their own clothes. Prisoners of the Star Camp were forced to work, even the elderly. The Hungarian Camp was built in July, 1944 for the almost 2,000 Jews from Hungary. Inmates were treated even better than those in the “star camp� and were permitted to wear regular clothes, with a Star of David sewn on. They were not forced to work, or attend the continuous roll calls. Inmates were well fed, and properly cared for when sick. Sick prisoners that were unable to work were brought to the recuperation camp from concentration camps throughout Germany. Because of the insufficient medical care, the mortality rate in the “recuperation camp� was alarmingly high. The first transport was made up of 1,000 inmates from the Dora-Mittelbau camp, most suffering from tuberculosis. When Bergen-Belsen was liberated, just over a year later, only fifty-seven had survived. 200 prisoners were of the recuperation camp were murdered by an injection of Phenol, as ordered by “Head Nurse� Karl Rothe, who classified these murders as “mercy killings.� The “tent camp� was initially used as a transit camp for women arriving from Poland. 3,000 women who were evacuated from Auschwitz-Birkenau, and transported to Bergen-Belsen in late October and early November of 1944, and were housed in tents because barracks were not yet ready for them. The Dutch Red Cross was informed that the women were sick, but possibly curable. Because of their condition, prisoners were not forced to work. The tents were not heated, had no toilet or lights, and instead of a bed, they had a thin layer of straw on the ground. Anne and Margot Frank were probably kept in the tent camp for a short period of time after their transfer from Auschwitz in October 1944. In early November of 1944, several tents were blown over by the wind of a storm, and prisoners were moved into the barracks of the small women’s camp which had opened that August for women being evacuated from Auschwitz. By December 2, 1944 a total of 15,257 prisoners were in Bergen-Belsen and over half of them were housed in the Women’s Camp. In January 1945, the Women’s camp became a second Prisoner’s camp, for male prisoners. Around that time, Bergen-Belsen expanded and a new division of the camp
