It's still a challenging field...

But, the good news is that just about every organization nation wide have Nursing jobs. (because if the high turnover rate... for myriad of reasons).

If you can deal with a non-conformed scheduled... you can pull a lot of jack working as an Agency (or PRN) Nurse.

Talk to d-usa... I'm sure he can elaborate.

You guys can have nurses who have not done any nursing qualifications?

Of course not...

Every state have requirements to be certified. Unless, you'd get your certification from a Federal agency (ie, Military outfits), you can potentially go to any states.

Ah, sorry, some of the posts seemed to indicate that perhaps you have some nurses who are not trained nurses working in hospitals.

Trained doesn't mean competent

I'm trained in basic First Aid and CPR, doesn't mean I'm good at it.

That's why it's best to do something skill oriented in college that doesn't require a degree...

While I was attempting to get my BS in Education, I worked at my school's IT department. At the end of five years (feth you my school lied to me), I had a degree and 5 years of tech experience. I now have a decent job (albeit I'd like a little more pay) in a software division for an EH&S company based out of Carlsbad, California.

You will want some sort of work experience before you graduate. This is a must to build your resume.

Seriously? That's Kate Upton. Shes been in a lot of popular publications, like the cover of the Sports Illustrated swim suit edition.

There needs to be a lot more training in "trades". Instead, schools seem to be push "college or bust" in the states. Meanwhile, someone could've become a fantastic welder for fantastic money (or myriad other things), but were never taught the skills.

Wouldn't that possibly indicate the opposite as it implies there maybe a lot of insecurity about showing sexual attraction towards others.

Her body doesn't do it for me, but I've seen people with doctorates fumble with their words when forced to speak in public; so kudos for having the sack to do something a lot of people find difficult.

Hell, in my experience most people don't have the balls to speak up in a class built around student interaction.

Nah. We know who Kate Upton is, too.

Interestingly, she's on both my list and my girlfriend's.

This is something I've experienced as well, and it annoys the hell out of me. I've had classes that essentially boiled down to a back-and-forth between the professor and I, because no one else would say a thing. And in the times where I'd quiet down in the hopes that someone else might want to talk and I've just been hogging the spotlight, there's nothing but the most uncomfortable, dead silence. Why even attend classes when you won't even engage? Those are exactly the kind of people that shouldn't be going to college/university in the first place.

Her body has just enough curve to it to not be super model skinny, which is fine because I never liked models that looked like pre-pubescent boys. And I've seen plenty of people fumble their words, but I just like that video and it gave me a perfect opportunity to post it

Sounds like you will need to get weapon's training now in addition to the normal coursework.

I've never really kept track of celebreties I find attractive. I'm not knocking it, but I'm more focused on what I can actually have in person.

As I told a buddy the other night, the first thing I look for in a potential partner is (potential) willingness to sleep with me. Mutual interests are pretty superficial, what matters is chemistry.
