if you think that you are capable to handle medical school then you should go for it. its a worthwhile job becasue you save people and get paid a lot. nursing is alright but if you know you have the potential of becoming a doctor just do it, yeah it may take years but the outcome it worth it. others might disagree with me but i know someone in medical school and they love it there.

The aging of the baby boom should mean that all sectors of the health care industry should do well.  You asked about three specific branches.\n\nNursing is a reasonable choice, if you see the whole picture.  You can complete the entry-level nursing program in 1 year (this leads to a Licenced Vocational Nurse or Licensed Practical Nurse certificate.)  The next step up, and where you really should focus your energy, is the Registered Nurse level.  For most RNs, it takes a year of prerequisites and two years of nursing courses at a community college to get the degree.  From there, you can do another two years and get your Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree and aspire to nursing leadership positions.  Graduate level nursing degrees include Nurse Practitioner which allows you to do most of the things a family practice doctor does or getting your Master of Science in Nursing and teaching Nursing (a particularly in-demand field right now.)\n\nNursing is an extremely cyclical profession though.  Because a majority of nurses are women (yes, there are many men entering the field, but the numbers don't lie), there are a significant number of nurses out of the profession at any given time (raising families etc.)  As long as the economy is good and their significant other (read: husbands) are making good money, the nurses can stay out of the workforce.  But when the economy turns sour, many of these nurses go back to work and the market tightens.  \n\nOne more thing -- my cousin is a hospital pharmacist and she loves it.  She was able to get into pharmacy school with only 2 years of college under her belt.  Then she went to Midwestern's 3-year pharm.d. program in Glendale, AZ.  Heck, she was almost able to perscribe medicine before she was old enough to drink!  She makes about $90k, works regular hours and has call two times a month.  She is also a top professional (unlike nurses who report to doctors) in her own right.  If she wanted to work retail (which she is adament that she doesn't), she could pull in $120k.)

Your idea is a good one. Many daycare centers have private kindergartens. But you might take your child to kindergarten testing at your district and see how she tests.

Tomorrow, go talk with the school nurse.

The pre-school that I was fortunate enough to have been a part of in Minneapolis, MN did.\n\nThe Lead Teacher and myself (Assistant Teacher), took the time to make sure our children practiced etiquette/ethics frequently.  You would be surprised how impressionable and teachable children are on these two subjects at this age.\n\nIt worked excellent!!

They are much more today than years before.\n\nBut they have to be an acredited school, not a mill just selling one for life experences.\n\nMany employers even pay tution for some and thier degrees are accepted by the Government.

I would vote no, absolutely. We're getting carried away with schooling as a nation, it's ridiculous. What's next, going to day care at age 6 months to prepare the child for pre-school? While we're at it, why don't we just turn over our newborns for someone else to raise. We as parents need to be spending time with out children, instilling our values in our young ones, and bonding with them before we ship them off the kindergarten. There's NO reason why a parent cannot teach children pre-school.

Wrong focus.  It's not like it's med school.  Just get into a convenient and decent nursing program.  It's what you do after getting your nursing degree and passing the boards that makes you a great nurse, or not.

1. Yes.\n2. Regardless of a child's family background, finding and building that child's full potential will create more fully productive adults, and will find more of those "diamonds in the rough." Equal funding creates better chances for those from poverty areas to access the instruction and materials they need to gain the skills to become part of the productive work force.\n3. Absolutely it affects education. Lowered funding means increased class sizes and less materials to work with. The top two in-classroom variables for student success are student to teacher ratios (lower being better), and an intelligent and well-trained teacher. (The top overall variable being student economic class background).\n4. Statewide tests are a joke. They are in place for two reasons... the first being that they are a money-making industry with strong lobbyists, and the second being that the Bush administration wants to scapegoat teachers rather than being straightforward about wanting to cut Education out of the Federal budget (it isn't a Constitutionally defined federal area, anyway). \n\nTrue accountability can be easily implemented through the following steps:\n1. students pass at 80% (B-average), not 60% (D-average), and passing to the next grade must be documented and justified, rather than having to justify retention (students being retained more than once in their school careers should be placed with additional supports, such as remedial classes with even smaller teacher-student ratios, and/or special education supports)\n2. student achievement documented through portfolios demonstrating pre- and post-instruction work and tests, addressing the state standards and benchmarks. The tests can be the unit tests the teachers are using anyway already.\n3. Accountability for attendance (excepting severe health issues...requiring special education and homebound instruction) and behavior (excepting Emotional disorders requiring special education and possible alternative placements) should be held entirely by the parents, not the schools. Right now, schools are held entirely accountable for both, and can lose AYP for these issues.\n4. All the funding and staffing by states currently used for state testing, should be placed into independent auditors of student portfolios on a random sampling basis.\n5. If the Bush administration wants to end Federal funding for Education, bite the bullet and have the courage to say so, with a plan to ease Federal control back to total state control over a 5 year period, with a direct transfer of federal income taxation to state income taxation percentages to cover the change. Federal taxation can be graually increased again, anyway.\n\nSorry, that's to logical and simple.

A couple of quick ideas from this old RN.  How about administration in Hospitals or Nursing homes.  It should be a prerequisite for all those at the top of such organizations to have your background.  I would check with your state requirements for certification process for either of the above and go for it.  How about managing a "non-profit" having to do with the homeless situation in our country or the "battered or abused".  See--I still think like a nurse.  They say that nurses are "born" ,not just educated to do.  Ask yourself--which am I and go for it.  You have enough "book-learning"  dear.  Good luck

Well, I think it's not interactive enough at all. It's very textbook oriented. There is not enough hands-on action for a student to really understand a concept through and through. It provides a good base, but not enough useful information or experience. I think Math is handled very well. Sciences and second languages are handled in an average manner. The teaching of English and Social Studies is lousy although the curriculum isn't that bad.

Yes I would switch.  If the new teacher does not work out, you can switch again.

Yeah, I grew up in NE Ohio, and the Cleveland City Schools are just a mess. Same with my school district down in Canton. I think that we just need to completely revamp the entire school system for many of the schools not just in NE Ohio.\n\nWe need motivated teachers, curriculums that focus on helping our students become well-rounded students, rooms that are setup for our students to be the best that they could be, but, most of all, we need parents who are behind their kids and act as their motivation and give them a good kick in the ass when they need it.\n\nThings need to change, and while we might not be up to the standards that Europe or the Far East might have, I still think that American schoolchildren are just as good in numerous aspects of intelligence and schooling.\n\nWe need change now!

I don't know but I just want to say I think it is a great idea! My wife is an LPN and I know what she went through because I went through it with her.Good Luck to you!

contact a local community collage or trade school.... what I did tho is I went to nurseing homes, so many are so under staffed that they will pay your way through the class.
