  1. nice fall from the tree anthony, i assume another episode is in production, because im waiting to see another one.

  2. I said the exact same thing before! It's really stupid, but some ( a few) jobs will actually say that they 'welcome new grads', I found that looking in your university's career centre website listings is really helpful because jobs posted there are open to students/recent grads.

  3. Hello Anthony or Tony.
    Not knowing anything is the greatest ignorance of all cabbages.

  4. This country needs something like 100,000 new nurses all across the country. Nursing was a practical choice for me, as I knew that no matter where I was, I could ALWAYS get a job as a nurse.
    In your senior year, start looking at the want ads, job fairs and think about what kind of nursing you want to do. Many employers these days give a six month orientation to nurses who are new grads and for some positions, even if you have experience, you still get six months or longer.
    You will be able to work before you take the Boards if your hospital allows GN(graduate nurses) to work under and RN.

  5. hi. ive been a nurse almost 20 yrs, i started as an LPN, and finally went back for my RN a few years later…
    there are so many places you can work as a nurse, dont limit yourself.
    one thing that you can do, since you are not licensed yet is try nursing homes, even as a nursing assistant you need to be certified, and some have their own cert/training program. however, as a dialysis nurse for many years in the state of florida, i know that you can work as a tech in dialysis without needing certification, this will give you good experience in the medical field, get your foot in the door, and youmay even like it as a NURSE. ( i sure do)
    just be persistent. and look good, and professional at your interviews!
    Good Luck to you in nursing….its truly the Lord's work you'll be doing.
    God Bless.

  6. you will need to get relicensed, since your license is only valid in the US.

  7. Dude, this is pretty good. I am gonna be in part two for sure. Not too impressed with the part at the playground though…

  8. A CRNA look it up they mae 135 thousand a year

  9. fucking horrible. thanks for wasting my time.

  10. volunteer at the nursing home. You may end up with a job there if you are lucky.

    I worked at a nursing home for 2 years. I was an adult, but most of my co-workers were teens. They have some teens that helped with activities such as bingo and crafts. others worked in the dietary department helping to deliver meals to the tables and pouring coffee and that sort of thing. The hardest part of working in a nursing home is getting to know and love the "grandparents" and then watching thier health decline. I have sadly watched many of the people that I have known and loved die.

  11. I would ask if any of the hospitals in your area have a transition internship for nurses moving from non direct patient care positions to direct care.

    I believe there are some courses that cover transition issues with type 1 CEUs with nursing education providers and you may consider contacting your state board of nursing for suggestions and assistance with the transition.

    Good luck.

  12. i could make a better video at rosedale i bet

  13. Oh, the goddamn humanity…..

    Such pain, such sorrow, such anguish….

    MAKES ME SCREAM!!! YAAAAAA!!

    Good video =)

  14. first she needs a sponser….
    after comming here, she needs to pass 2 tests…

    1 for nursing….1 for english language…

    in the Detroit Mi. area….call (248) 473-5400…ask for melanie….shes a RN who can help

  15. anthony, i’m super glad you tagged trees for this. i’m sure tree enthusiasts would love to watch this video of you ruining the forest with your urban running.

  16. shit son, that was a way bigger fall from that tree than i expected

  17. Nah, that tree looked like a stormvictim anyway. Antwonman? You’re officially suicidally crazy beyond all recognition. Keep it up! :D

  18. Actually, the best thing would be to become a CNA or certified nursing assistant. Sometimes hospitals will take you and certify you there. You could also try being a PCA or personal care attendant. If you are interesting in going into nursing I would encourage you to get some hands on patient experience since it is usually a lot different than people expect. Stocking shelves is a lot different than draining urine from a catheter bag…you get what I mean? You might be better off getting a job at a Long Term Care facility or nursing home, they usually need more help than the hospitals. Go to your locate hospitals website and contact human resources.

  19. It is NOT difficult to get a job as an RN with only an ASN degree. It is true that BSNs make more money, and they promote faster to supervising roles. But you can still make a good living with an ASN.

    Right now, the job market for nurses puts all the control in the nurses' hands. Hospitals and clinics will fight over you. Take advantage of it. good luck!

  20. holy fuck you got scratched :S

  21. She'd have to find an employer to file a petition for her first, but before that she'd have to pass the board exams. they can't hire her if she can't be licensed. for the moment, she should look into taking the exams. until she passes those, nothing can be done.

  22. I'm wondering the same myself but I've done a ton of research on both because I'm very indecisive, I like both. Getting a social work degree(msw), sets you up for jobs in government, courts, health, public health, social services(adoption,family, etc)psychology, and the pay is decent and there is considerable growth. Nursing, is of course a fast growing career, and like said has a lot of mobility and in the health care field, lot of case management(which is basically, what a health social worker does) are now handled by the RN's and I talked to an RN and she really enjoys it. Pay is better in long run, and both careers are lucrative as teaching jobs as well. I'm soul searching to see which I would rather do, I have an opprotunity to do either and have to decide by this spring. I would think it would depend on what hours you are looking for, what kind of satisfaction you want, and why you want to go into both in the first place. Good luck!

  23. There is a nursing shortage world wide. That includes the United States. There are international nursing agencies out there that will help you with the transition and licensing.

    If you like it warm and humid look at Georgia, South Carolina or Mississippi.
    If you like it hot and dry try Arizona, New Mexico or Navada.
    If you like the Ocean California, Hawaii or Florida.
    If you like snow and city life try Pennsylvania, New York, Conneticuit is for you
    If you like mountains try Colorado for rocky mountains or Tennesee or Kentucky for Green forest covered mountains.
    If you like wide open spaces and a sky that goes on forever try Montana, Kansas or Illinois.
    If you like snow covered peaks, glaciers and watching whales there is Alaska.

    There is such variety here you can really find anything that suits you. Once you are here you can travel to any of these places to visit as you wish.

  24. What The Hell Were You Thinking!!!

  25. haha dude this is tight…we should do another one…i said i would be in it haha

  26. Nurses have a hectic straining work atmosphere.
    Working with doctors,attending to patients and unstable workshifts.The work environment of patients,disease,medicines odor and other factors.They are an important constituent of the medical profession.
