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.

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

Mummy wants to call you that because she wants you to be teased like she was (even though she had a pretty name).

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!

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.
