Recommendations for colleges with good history and nursing programs?
Can anyone recommend a good college or university outside of Arizona that has good history and nursing programs? I know for sure that I want to major in History but I'm not sure yet about Nursing but hopefully I should know by next year since I am going for my CNA license next semester so I can get a job in the medical field in a Hospital or Nursing home to get some experience before I decide if I want to go into the medical field. At the moment I am at a community college in Arizona and this semester I got a few A's but mostly B's and I did 14 credits this semester. After the next semester I am transferring to another community college in another town that has more class options as the school I am at now is rather limited in what they can offer. I'm looking for a College/University that doesn't charge an arm and a leg in out of state tuition and that makes it easy to become a resident after a year. I'm also looking for somewhere that is not as hot as Arizona because I am tired of feeling like I am in an oven during the summer and other parts of the year. I'm willing to go abroad if needed but only if the cost for the University is reasonable and my degree would be accepted by countries such as Canada, the U.S., the U.K., ect... I'm also thinking that I would like to minor in a foreign language but I'm not sure yet. My general plan at the moment while at community college is to get an Associates Degree in General Studies to get all of my core classes out of the way. I didn't do too well in High School but I am doing much better in College now. Any recommendations please?

You need to pick either nursing or history. It makes absolutely no sense to do both. A degree in history is pretty useless unless you plan to teach. A minor in a foreign language would be a good idea if you plan to go into nursing. With a few A's and mostly Bs, your chances of getting into a nursing program would be slim. Nursing programs are very competitive and only take the best of the best. Any school that you go to outside of your home state is going to charge you "an arm and a leg" for tuition. Every state / school has different requirements for what counts as a resident.

Future nursing student, help.
Future nursing student, help.?
I am a grade 11 student and I am already researching what schools I want to go to. For the past 2 years I have decided that I would like to a be a neonatal nurse/delivery & labour nurse. I was wondering, once I get the BScN degree.. then what? Is there a way I can specialize in neonatal nursing? Or do I just apply for the spot in the hospital? Is there a specific certificate I need to get this position as a neonatal nurse? Or is it the type of thing they offer to you once you have had experience doing basic nursing. If anyone could help, you would make my life a lot easier! I live in Ontario, Canada. Durham Area.

Career choices for Canada
Career choices for Canada?
My husband and I are wanting to move to Canada in the next few years. After research we found that his career (wide range of jobs he can do) is considered a "B", so we should be good for the skilled worker's program. I have a question though...I am in college now, and I don't know if I should change my major, or even if I change it will it even transfer to Canada? For example, I looked up Nursing (RN), but if I am coming from the United States it seems like I don't qualify to be a Canadian RN. I know that I have to take a test to be considered a Canadian RN, but do I have to have a four year degree? Here in America we can become RN's through Associate Degrees. What have other Americans done to secure a career in Canada? I feel so lost! Thanks for your answers! -Sydney I guess what I am saying is, I am confused on what career I should pick that will transfer over to Canada, even if I do have to test. I guess I am worried about the four + years degree.

You could consider related medical fields, such as respiratory tech, Xray tech, ultra sound, etc some of the technician fields etc These are all needed in Canada. You do need to take the RN program in Canada apparently to qualify, Canada has very high education standards compared to most other countries.

immigrating to canada....tough
immigrating to canada....tough!?
Hello, I am a recent university graduate and I am thinking of getting a second university degree rather than applying for the post graduate work permit.......I found getting a work experience in skilled jobs really tough, because employer often asks me if I have 2 years of experience in the occupation, which I don't have (I just got out of the university!!) If I go for my second degree in nursing, would it help? or can you guys suggest any major that will help me easily attain the skilled work experience? thanks
