Nursing sponsorship??? Emergency or Cardiology ?
I've got an invitational sponsorship from a national heart center in singapore. My parents are really supportive and encourage to take the sponsorship. They said i will be good for me in the future( carreer wise - icu). But i prefer to take another hospital sponsorship. This hospital is known for the busiest a&e department. Clear fact i love challenging situation and im reallt interested in emergency. But now i'm just not sure which hospital i should be bond to. In my culture there is a saying about parents choice for their children' parent knows what's best. So should i follow my parent choice or mind? Is working in the cardio department really that interesting?...

Keep in mind, this is only my opinion. No, the cardiac unit is not near as challenging or interesting as the ER or the ICU. Working in the cardiac department, you see and care for only ONE type of patient....a cardiac patient. Granted, when things go sour, that patient can keep you busy and really challenge your skills and knowledge but, after a while, all your cardiac patients start to look alike. I worked in the ICU (both surgical and medical) and EVERYONE was different. I found the ICU to be challenging because you had to always be on your toes and stay one step ahead of catastrophe. It was a bit like detective work....you had to take heed of certain signs, symptoms, lab values, (etc etc) and figure out why things are happening. And take steps to prevent those things from happening. I enjoyed working with the sophisticated and delicate machinery and equipment. I enjoyed the challenge of the critical patients who were on ventilators and had tubes stuck in every hole of their body, plus a few extra holes that the doctor made! I also did some time in the ER and it was interesting for different reasons. Granted, a lot of what comes through the ER are non-emergency cases of people who just dont have insurance and cant pay to see a family physician, and that stuff gets really boring. Those are also almost always the rudest and most demanding people. (I dont know why). But, every so often, a true emergency comes through the door and it really gets your adrenalin pumping. Some nights, you never know WHAT you're going to see and almost every patient is different. Your main objective is to just stabilize them and then send them to the OR or the ICU for the longer-term care. I liked the ICU better because, after doing 14 years on the ambulance, I was ready for a little less chaos and something I had more control over. I dont want to go against what your culture has ingrained into you, but your parents dont ALWAYS know what's best for you. Unlike strangers, they always have your best interest in mind, but they still cant decide what's in your heart.

Dude, follow your heart man... Well I got no damn idea that in the cardio department is interesting.. But every job have their pros and cons.. In fact I am a part time psychologist and a full time education trainer, I have the chance to meet all kinds of people, from mentally ill to children to adults. So I have one advice to you follow your heart.

The SATs have three tests they are Critical Reading sections, 3 Mathematics sections, 3 Writing sections. 1 Unscored section (and you will not know which one this is!). There are preparation books that you use to prepare for the SATs in any good book stores. I should also say that as a student from Singapore, you may not have to take the SATs. Check with the college where you applied. That should be the Admissions Office. Good luck.

Which pressure groups in the UK are campaigning for the return of the death penalty
Which pressure groups in the UK are campaigning for the return of the death penalty?
I have enjoyed spending much time in Singapore and have marvelled at how people safely walk around at night and also how families leave their children in shopping malls whilst they go to the bank. In the UK this week we see the murder of a policewoman and also a man who stole credit cards from a nurse leaving her locked in a car boot for 10 days. Quite simply criminals have free reign in the UK as they know the law is soft. Let me know if you know groups Thanks Jon

The death penalty does not create a perfect, crime-free Utopia. We had capital punishment in the past. We abolished it for two major reasons. One being that mistakes are made. Another is that it is not a deterrent. Crime still happens. It is no accident that the 13 out of 50 US states which have no death penalty, also have the lowest crime, and the state which executes the most has the worst crime figures. No serious politicians in the UK wants it reinstated, and it would be contrary to our commitments under the terms of the European Convention on Human Rights, which the UK drafted and signed in 1950, against the rules of the Council of Europe, and the EU. The real reason for the apparent low crime in Singapore will be to do with cultural attitudes, not to how criminals are murdered. I suspect that far from being the crime free paradise you describe, Singapore does indeed have crime, murder, robbery and the like. Iraq, Sierra Leone, Angola, S Africa, Columbia, Brazil, Venezuela, Russia, Turkey, China, the US, and many more countries (in fact 85 countries in total) have a worse murder rate than the UK. Granted, Singapore has the second lowest official rate in the world. But how accurate is crime reporting there?

I'm cynical too, but I don't think the death penalty is murder, it's a duly rendered punishment by law.

Yes there are a lot of requirements. You are probably not going to be allowed to practice there without an Aussie license so you will have to go to school there to some degree. And being of Asian descent you will be looked at very closely. The laws were changed several years ago with regard to asians immigrating to Oz - when it was learned that many chinese were paying people to marry so they could get into the country. Also there are bank account checks, criminal history and most visa need to be applied for before you leave your country of origin. It also helps if you have a job offer waiting for you in OZ. GOOD LUCK!!!

If you're already a Registered Nurse, provided you can obtain registration and can pass our skills assessment and points test and meet health and character requirements, you will be able to apply for a permanent visa for Australia. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/medical-practitioners/nurses.htm http://nurseinfo.com.au/overseas http://www.anmc.org.au/ If you're not already an RN, you have no choice but to get nursing qualifications in your own country, or study here for them on a student visa. All Australian nursing training is university based. You can be a PR of as many countries as you wish, but in order to retain your Australian PR, you must spend at least 2 years out of every 5 actually living in the country. Oh, and the checking for Asians is no different from the checking for people of any other origin. Countries are either high or low risk and there are only 8 low risk countries (6 of which are Asian BTW). Australian immigration is completely non-discriminatory and equally qualified applicants have an absolutely equal chance of a visa, regardless of their origin.
