How does a foreign nurse practice in the USA?
I am now married to a woman from China; she is a nurse. I am currently waiting for the visa to process so that she can come over here. Meanwhile, I would like to acquire some information on how she can practice nursing in the USA. How does a foreign nurse obtain the necessary requirements to practice nursing in America? And, what are those requirements?

1 :
she has to sit the state boards for which ever state you live in, she also MUST be able to speak english flawlessly and be able to prove this, also her original lic. must be able to be verified.
2 :
Her original education would have to be equivalent to a US one. She needs a verified and translated transcript,then she would need to pass an English fluency exam and then the state nursing exam. Of course she would have to have a visa that allows her to work in the first place.

a US passport will get you almost anywhere. no questions asked.
2 :
You must be in possession of a work (Z) visa arranged by your employer,or if that has not been arranged at the moment you should be having a valid tourist visa and then ask your employer to get it changed to a work visa because you cannot stay beyond 1 month on a tourist visa and if you overstay you are liable to heavy penalty.
3 :
you will need a valid passport and a valid work visa, or if you have a tourist visa, you can enter the country but not work until your employer has made arrangements to change it to a work visa. Your tourist visa is usually valid between 90 and 365 days, with single or multiple entries. A single entry visa will be valid for 90 days so if you apply for your Z visa as soon as you arrive, you should not have any problem.

America retires with the baby boomers, old, send to the nursing home, it's days are done
America retires with the baby boomers, old, send to the nursing home, it's days are done?
The baby boomers produced the most wealth ever in a civilization in history, but won't even get Social Security if Republicans have their way. They want America deserted and retired to third world status, like a baby boomer with no family or benefits. Their big corporate friends have new younger loves in India, Brazil, China and have left Americans without even the respect of a death panel, health care or money to decide their fate. America is retired, but without benefits of any kind?

Hello everybody! Serena is already 13 months old. She used to sleep through de night since she was 6 weeks old. This stopped when she turned 4 months old when we came back to China, where we live. Recently, she wkakes up every two hours or less because she wants me to breastfeed her. If I take the breast away she'll cry inconsolably until I give her the breast again. Can anybody give some tips? I'm really exhausted, haven't slept more than 4 straight hours in 7 months.

The degree has to be recognized by the receiving country... If the U.S. recognizes the Chinese degree, sure you can work here...chances are they don't.... International degrees don't transfer well, unless of course it's like, Harvard, Yale, Oxford, Cambridge, University of Toronto, etc
2 :
Some degrees are transferable, some are not. Some degrees, like nursing, M.D. or dentistry need to be approved first, and then you may need to take some classes and tests to be able to practice in the US. Depending on the career, the process may take from a few months to several years.
3 :
No. They usually have to go through whatever state they end up in. There are very strict guidelines. Normally it takes time and more classes to get a license. Some may have to go through a whole course again. They also have to get a work visa.
4 :
If you want to come to the US to work as a nurse, you would have to pass the exams, CGFNS, NCLEX and the English proficiency test IELTS. These are the basic requirements, of course, some states may require more. More than that, your school must already have graduates who were employed in the US. If you are the first graduate of your school to apply, you would have to provide them with all the documentation of your curriculum if it is compliant with the requirements for nursing.

SAN FRANCISCO (8/5/96) - When Joanne Bunuan applied to attend the Organizing Institute, and began the odyssey which led to her current work as a union organizer, she didn't realize that she was following a long tradition among Filipinos. "I was in college at the University of Massachusetts," she remembers. "I wasn't an activist, but I had radical ideas. I knew I wanted to be involved in social change, but I didn't really know much about the labor movement." An adviser urged her to investigate the Organizing Institute, set up by the AFL- CIO to recruit young people as union organizers. To her surprise, she passed the initial evaluation, and was sent to work on a union organizing drive in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The experience not only demonstrated her abilities, but convinced Bunuan herself that she had something to contribute. "Seeing the way many workers live in this country shook me up," she remembers. "I saw the racism dividing Asian, Latino, African-American and white workers. I thought, I can do something about this." She did do something. Today, she's an experienced union organizer for the Laborers' Union, criss-crossing the midwest. She brings the union's message to workers in chicken and turkey processing plants, who work in dangerous conditions at some of the country's lowest wages. Joanne Bunuan, born in Quezon City in 1973, followed the footsteps of the original pioneers, who left the Philippines in the 1920s to find a new life in America. They became a radical generation, and set a pattern of labor involvement still characteristic of the Filipino community. Today, Filipinos are active in all levels of American unions. They are worker-activists in factories and offices, organizers like Bunuan, and elected union officers. They have helped to establish enduring links between labor organizations and the Filipino community as a whole. "The manongs who came in the 1920s were children of colonialism," Abba Ramos, a veteran organizer in the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union, says. "They were radicalized, because they compared the ideals of the U.S. constitution, which they were taught in the islands, and of the Filipinos' own quest for freedom, with the harsh reality they found here." The contributions of that generation to the larger U.S. labor movement are hard to underestimate. Leaders like Philip Veracruz, Larry Itliong and Pete Velasco organized strikes of California grape pickers through the 1950s and early 60s. Their work culminated in the great grape strike of 1965, when the United Farm Workers of America was born. Ernie Mangaoang and Chris Mensalvas organized the Filipino workers who made the long and dangerous voyage every year to isolated salmon canneries in Alaska. Seattle's well-known Local 37 was the fruit of their efforts. Carlos Bulosan, who chronicled their labor organizing efforts in California fields, expressed the idealism of that generation. "America is not a land of one race or one class of men," he wrote in his novel, America Is In The Heart. "We are all Americans who have toiled and suffered and known oppression and defeat, from the first Indian that offered peace in Manhattan to the last Filipino pea pickers." At a time when the Philippines was still a U.S. colony, Bulosan declared that "America is not bound by geographical lattitudes. America is not merely a land or an institution. America is in the hearts of men that died for freedom; it is also in the eyes of men that are building a new world." Ramos is one of the first children of that generation - sons and daughters of the first immigrants. His mother and father worked on Hawaii's giant sugar plantations in the late 1930s and 40s, when unionism was in the air. "It was an apartheid style of life," he remembers, "where workers were held hostage to the mill owners." Hawaii was swept by union organizing drives during those years, which made the ILWU the most powerful political force in the islands. "The union revolutionized the whole democratic process," Ramos explains. "Before sugar workers had a union, five families ran everything. Afterwards, every politician who wanted to run for office had to come talk to the workers, and their union decided who got elected." Ramos was one of the first children of sugar workers to attend the University of Hawaii. On graduation, he got a job in a non-union hotel, the King Kamehameha, hoping to help workers organize. Ramos listened to Filipino ILWU leaders. "I admired them. They had the power to stand up to the boss. They told me, if you want to be an organizer, show us what you can do. Go into the workplace and unite your fellow workers." Ramos spent his life working for his union, the ILWU. "Filipino workers," he says, "are often still on the bottom. We make the beds. We work in the restaurants, the electronics plants, and the fields. We need to accept the fact we are a working-class community. If we want to advance, we have to unite with other workers like us. That's what we learned in Hawaii." Filipino labor activists not only organized unions, but fought to make them clean and democratic, responsive to the needs of their members. Seattle's ILWU Local 37 fell into the hands of racketeers in the 1950s and 60s. Union leaders sold jobs in the union hall, and ran gambling operations to fleece workers in Alaska. Meanwhile, bad conditions in the remote canneries went unchallenged. In 1977, Richard Gurtiza, just out of college, got a dispatch to Alaska. "I found segregated housing and mess halls," he remembers, "and discrimination against Filipinos in promotions and jobs. We had no upward mobility, and lived in old and decrepit bunkhouses. I felt like I was living in the past." Two older friends of Gurtiza, Gene Viernes and Silme Domingo, spearheaded a movement to challenge that discrimination, and filed suit against the canneries. They built a rank-and-file movement among the local's members, and were elected dispatcher and president. Then, in an incident which horrified the Filipino community up and down the Pacific coast, they were assasinated in the Seattle union hall soon after taking office in 1981. "I decided to help finish what they started," Gurtiza explains, "Gene and Silme started a movement which empowered union members. That was how we beat the people who killed them. Instead of scaring people into silence, more workers came forward." Gurtiza, a childhood friend of Viernes, became a union activist. He was elected to the local's executive board, and a shop steward in Alaska. Today he's the Regional Director of District 37 of the Inland Boatman's Union, ILWU, the old Local 37. Cleaning up the union made it a better representative for workers. "The old administration was more like a company union," he says. "Our concern, first and foremost, is to represent the interests of the rank-and-file. We follow the decisions they make, regardless of what the company says." Local 37 has been an institution in Seattle's International District for decades, and provides important services to the community. It helps with tax returns and sponsors Filipino youth activities. Many other organizations meet in its hall, and the local participates in coalitions on community issues like immigrant rights. "We're here, not just to provide employment opportunity," Gurtiza says, "but to play a role in the community. Our responsibility is to represent all our members, Filipinos and non- Filipinos alike, so we're not a Filipino union. We're a union with many Filipino members, in the Filipino community." Luisa Blue, now an organizing coordinator for the Service Employees International Union, also began her union activism in a movement to make her union more responsive to issues in the broader community. "I grew up wanting to fight for my rights, and for those of other people of color," she says. Like Gurtiza and Ramos, her parents were first-generation immigrants. They settled in San Francisco's low- income housing projects, where Blue became a community activist before she really knew what unions were. "We organized young people in San Francisco's Mission District," she remembers. "We fought for the right of young people to be out on the street without being harassed and beaten by the police. The war in Vietnam was going on, and we could see that young men of color were dying at a much higher rate. We organized around that issue as well." She became a nurse at San Francisco General Hospital. With its large Filipino workforce, the hospital was a natural source of support for campaigns to defend the rights of immigrant nurses. Blue worked to defend Narciso and Perez, two Chicago nurses blamed for the deaths of patients. She fought other attacks on Filipino nurses as well, many of whom came from the Philippines on H-1 visas, and whose credentials were often challenged. "These nurses were extremely competent at their job," Blue remembers, "but they couldn't get their licenses." Blue brought these and other staffing issues to her union, Local 400 of the Service Employees. "My local was one of the few unions which supported immigrant nurses," she says. "I got active in the union so I could get it to take a position on these community issues." These fights won her a reputation as a defender of nurses' rights, and she was elected to the union's executive board. There she campaigned to change the union's leadership, which didn't reflect its membership with large numbers of women and people of color. New leadership was ele

Health official: China's nurse workforce surges, but shortage persists China had 1.54 million nurses as ofthe end of last year, up 240,000 from 2005, a senior health official said in Beijing on Monday. Health boards investigate housing of Filipino nurses Wednesday, 28 March 2001 17:22 A spokesman for the East Coast Health Board has said that the three health boards in the Dublin area are investigating the circumstances in which 50 Filipino nurses were houses in substandard accommodation for more than a week. The spokesman said that as soon as the health board became aware of the situation the nurses were moved to alternative accommodation. He said that foreign nurses employed in hospitals run by the health boards are provided with temporary accommodation for eight weeks after they arrive and are then helped to find permanent accommodation Ma Xiaowei, vice health minister, told a tele-conference that last year alone, 120,000 more nurses joined the workforce, the biggest increase ever. He said nurses accounted for 34 percent of China's medical workers. The quality of the nursing workforce was also being lifted, with 57.5 percent of those at 696 major hospitals nationwide having received junior college education or above, Ma quoted a survey as saying. However, the survey also found nurses faced many problems including a heavy workload and lack of protection of their rights, he said. In the surveyed hospitals, one nurse often cared for 10-14 patients and some cared for more than 30 patients, he said. "The shortage of nurses has increased their workload and led tobelow-standard service for patients," he said. Ma said a new regulation on nurses that took effect on Monday would better protect their rights as to salary and benefits.

Registered Nurse licenses are regulated by your state board of nursing. In most states, you must graduate from an school of nursing accredited by that state. If you graduate from a foreign school of nursing, you must meet that state's requirements for foreign educated nurses and then pass the NCLEX exam. Nursing is VERY different in China and I'm not sure it would prepare you well to pass the NCLEX in the US. Japanese nursing is more in line with US, but I'd check out the school carefully. The first thing you need to do is to go to the website for your state's board of nursing and see their regulations for foreign trained nurses and then compare that to the schools you are considering. I don't want to make it sound impossible because it isn't. Nurses from Ireland and the Philippines come here frequently and get a license, but usually after some kind of additional training course. Take care before studying abroad for a US license.

I think you just might carve out a nice niche for yourself in China. The elderly used to be taken care of by their family. But now with all the changes in society, the elderly may not be able to depend on their children anymore. I think your skills could be in high demand in the near future.

Yes, there are nursing homes for elderly people...these are a relatively new thing and are currently mainly used by the rich (there are also aged centers for the poor but maybe not the same thing, more like comunity group meeting places), but as the population is rapidly aging more and more nursing homes will need to be opened as more people want them. Most people are currently looked after at home by the family but as incomes are rising and housing is becoming more expensive, people are wanting more freedom from parents and gran parents...its easier and cheaper for alot of people to rent a nursing home for their old folks than to buy a big enough apartment for them all to live in together.

Yes, there are nursing homes in China take for example. Over 250,000 senior citizens in Beijing -- 12.7 percent of the 2.02 million people in the city who are over 60 -- are happy to live in nursing homes, according to a survey by the municipal political consultative conference. Even if most seniors prefer traditional home-care by family members, nursing homes are becoming increasingly acceptable to the grey population,

No. You would need to have attended and completed a nursing program. You do not apply to take the NCLEX. You apply for a nursing license and passing the NCLEX is just part of that process.You would need to obtain a BSN (4 year nursing degree) before applying for licensure in the US.

YOU MUST HAVE A DEGREE OR A CERTIFICATE/DIPLOMA IN NURSING FROM A PROGRAM THAT IS DEEMED COMPARABLE TO THE EDUCATION A NURSE IN THE UNITED STATES RECEIVES BEFORE YOU CAN APPLY TO TAKE THE NCLEX! f it was a simple as taking the exam without having the degree to go with it, don't you think that hundreds of thousands nursing assistants in America would be trying to take the test without having earned a degree? Since you are so enamoured with nursing in the US, you should apply for a visa to the US. Once here, attend a university and earn a degree in Nursing like the rest of American nurses have to.

No. You would need to have attended and completed a nursing program. You do not apply to take the NCLEX. You apply for a nursing license and passing the NCLEX is just part of that process.You would need to obtain a BSN (4 year nursing degree) before applying for licensure in the US.

Could I still teach English abroad if I majored in registered nursing
Could I still teach English abroad if I majored in registered nursing?
I'm going into my junior year of university and I plan on majoring in registered nursing. I have a huge interest in East Asia so I was thinking of teaching English in maybe Japan or Hong Kong after I get my Bachelor's, although I wouldn't mind South Korea or China. Anyway, I just want to know, if I went away for a year or two to teach English would that effect my skills and what I remember as a nurse? I plan on going as soon as I finish my degree so I'm just worried that I'll forget a lot of what I learned in university and I'll end up needing to go back to school. So, does it seem feasible to major in nursing and go away to teach English for a year or two? If so, would doing self-study while I'm away help me to remember? Or should I just give it up and travel after I get my career going? I realize that there isn't really a concrete answer that can be given to this type of question but I would just like some opinions. Thanks. :-) By the way, I already know that you can major in anything and still teach English. That's not my question. Please read it carefully. :-)

I want to addres "both" issues in your question. First, my experience is that you CANNOT major in anything and teach English abroad. Most places require a degree in education, more specifically, English as a second language. They will require your original degree, certified transcripts, license. There is actually an over supply of people who , because they can speak English, think they can teach English anywhere. Your employer would have to sponor your work visa...a time-consuming and expensive process...and they are not usually willing to do this unless the person is highly qualified and also speaks the local language. Teaching English "independently" or as a volunteer is another story. It would be wise to check out agencies and language schools that hire people to go overseas as English teachers. Anyway...now to your question about going right after graduation...I really do not think that is wise...better to get experience right away...better for your own skill level and for your resume. I am a retired American R.N. and licensed teacher. I believe you would do best to work in your field at least a couple of years, and maybe pursue a credential in teaching ESL too. In the future, you may be able to combine both your interests of nursing and teaching in your career. You sound like a person who plans ahead and puts a lot of thought into those plans. Hope all works out well for you.

If it was me and I was in your shoes, I would postpone my nursing studies. Go to the Far East for one year so that you've had the experience, then come back and resume your studies. I taught in Japan and Hong Kong for a few years, and currently teach Korean people. It is very intensive and alot is required of you. I very much doubt you will have time to keep up with your nursing studies on the side. Goodluck xxxxxxxxx
4 :
I would think that you could do it if you wanted to, but at the same most job offerings I have seen require a BA degree, or some tesol certification. Not all do, but a lot do. I think that if you are majoring in something unrelated to education or English then you may want to get your foot in the door back home first. Even though you may get lucky and still get a job after working abroad, its better to get your experience in your field now. If you go apply for a nursing job and they see that you graduated and then went over seas without any nursing experience they might think that you are more qualified to teach English rather than nursing, and you wont have time to focus on nursing, you may forget some things. Its just better to get experience in your field first. If you are a junior, I am going to assume you are the "traditional age" so you are still young, you have time to go over seas even if you wait a year or two, you will still be young.

Nah..Most places will hire you if you are from the US, Canada, England, Australia, and Ireland...AND have a bachelors..You have to have that...AND sometimes its good if you have some sort of english certificate, but its not required, a long with experience...

Why are some political parties and their followers like this
Why are some political parties and their followers like this?
Okay, I am not going to name the political party since they are known for reporting people who disagree with them. Anywho. I am a 30 year old man with two bachelors degrees, one in Nursing and the other in Health Administration and Policy, and a Masters degree in Anesthiology (sorry I still cant spell that word). I started college when I was 17 years old and was completely finished with everything by the time I was 25. I am now an Anaesthiologist working with one of the best cosmetic surgeons in the Washington DC area. I make $250,000 a year. I am also a married man since I was 24 and the proud father of 2 sets of twins. My wife is a private teacher for Autistic children and makes $75 an hour. We are both living the life of our dreams. Our childrens college is already pre-paid, our house will be paid off next year. We just feel so blessed. This summer my wife and I took our kids on a Disney world tour. We went to Disney in Florida, California, China, and France. We were both able to take a month off of work to make sure our kids have the time of their lives and to bring our family closer together. Now my problem is is that thereare certain people running for president and his followers who want to take that away from me and my family. They feel that even though I work hard for my money and where I am that I shouldn't have it. They feel I should be happy with $80000 a year and the rest should be given to the poor. They see vacations like the one my family and I took and say we should be happy with just going to Six Flags. Why do these people feel this way? Why do they feel that the wealthy should suffer for the poor? Why do they feel that I should give up most of my income in federal taxes so less educated people can live better lives? Can anyone explain this logic? please.

Which major should I pick- International Studies or Registered Nursing
Which major should I pick- International Studies or Registered Nursing?
I've been interested in east Asia for years. It started in 8th grade and progressed over the years into the music, culture, movies, fashion, etc of Japan, China, and South Korea. I am now 18 going on 19 so it's been a while and it isn't just a fleeting thing. Since I was a child I've wanted to be a nurse. Even now I enjoy cleaning/dressing wounds. I wonder if I want to major in International Studies with a minor in Asian Studies. I want to teach English in Asia for a 1+ years after I get my Bachelor's (the degree can be any subject). Then I'd like to maybe get my Master's and teach Asian history/culture at the uni level here in America. If I became a RN, would that 1+ years away affect my remembrance/skills as a nurse? Would I have to do self-study during that time? I'd like to travel, how is vacation time for RNs? What is the market for a prof. of Asian studies here? Does it depend on where you live? Also, what other careers would a Intl. Studies major be good for?

I have been a RN for 4 years now, and i have been looking into a job as a traveling RN. They are really needed in a lot of hospitals, and the pay is amazing. You would be silly to go into international studies instead of an RN. because RN's make way more money than you would ever make. You also get a lot of amazing befits if you are a well liked nurse. our doctors are rich, and they gave all of the nurses wonderful gifts (massages by professionals, and a 200$ raise) The job is awarding in the long run.

Could I still teach English abroad if I majored in registered nursing
Could I still teach English abroad if I majored in registered nursing?
I'm going into my junior year of university and I plan on majoring in registered nursing. I have a huge interest in East Asia so I was thinking of teaching English in maybe Japan or Hong Kong after I get my Bachelor's, although I wouldn't mind South Korea or China. Anyway, I just want to know, if I went away for a year or two to teach English would that effect my skills and what I remember as a nurse? I plan on going as soon as I finish my degree so I'm just worried that I'll forget a lot of what I learned in university and I'll end up needing to go back to school. So, does it seem feasible to major in nursing and go away to teach English for a year or two? If so, would doing self-study while I'm away help me to remember? Or should I just give it up and travel after I get my career going? I realize that there isn't really a concrete answer that can be given to this type of question but I would just like some opinions. Thanks. :-) By the way, I already know that you can major in anything and still teach English. That's not my question. Please read it carefully. :-)

It sounds like a great idea. You'll have to work on retaining your knowledge, but in doing that, you'll probably end up the better nurse. The other nurses will zoom through, then their knowledge will start fading away a lot faster than yours. I say if you can do it, do it. It will be a great experience, and you'll come back a more mature student (hopefully!). You'll have a whole added dimension to your way of thinking which can only benefit you. People will think you're so cool in Japan if you're studying to be a nurse. People will also think you're so cool on return to university, for having been in Japan. (Or wherever else). Bye.

So, those of you who are against Big Government, what do you think of this
So, those of you who are against Big Government, what do you think of this?
I'm a registered Democrat, but that's because I live in what is essentially a one party state. I don't agree totally with either party. I notice the Republicans gripe a lot about "Big Government" but neglect some very big and expensive parts of the Government. I would like to see the following come to an end: 1) Subsidies given to manipulate the market. 2) The DEA. The War On Drugs is a joke. Put its administrative power under the FDA which is run by cooler heads. 3) The ATF. The Volstead Act was repealed a long time ago. They're just revenue agents who investigate arson. Let the FBI investigate arson. 4) Federal monies for local law enforcement. There are too many cops where I live, and they can't solve crimes. All they can do is arrest junkies and beat them. 5) Compulsory education and local school boards. Screw them. They get no results. 6) Laws against marijuana. It would save billions on incarcerating stoners, and marijuana could be taxed. 7) Airport security as it is. I don't want some fat lady named Tomeka barking orders at me and looking at my penis. 8) Border patrol. Fire them all. Recruit Russians to guard the border. Make sure none of them speak Spanish. The Soviets were the best at securing borders in a large country. 9) Faith based charities should go. I don't like the idea of funding Jesus freaks. 10) Default on all loans to China. We don't need their plastic crap. 11) Break the insurance monopolies. Make them subject to the Sherman Act. Fat, middle-aged women in cubicles will cry when they lose their jobs, but they're useless. 12) Allow Mexicans to come in the US for agricultural jobs only. Do not give them a path to citizenship. Treat them as guest workers or "metics" as the Athenians called such workers. 13) Create more doctors to drive down the price of health care. We have physician assistants and certified nurse practitioners doing high level medical diagnosis and treatment, and they simply aren't qualified. 14) Have a national test for lawyers, no degree required. Make it difficult to weed most of them out. Get rid of the American Bar Association, because it is a de facto part of the US Gov't, as it helps the President choose Supreme Court justices. Also, no one can become a federal judge without going to an ABA approved law school. 15) Withdraw troops from the Middle East, Okinawa, South Korea, Germany, etc. We're not fighting the Cold War anymore. Communism is dead, just another name for totalitarianism.

Could someone please explain the whole Jewish mom thing to me
Could someone please explain the whole Jewish mom thing to me?
I have a friend who has dated an awesome Jewish guy for over a year. They get along great and treat each other well. There is plenty of romance and it is a pleasure to watch them together. They seem like a perfect couple always having fun. Both are medical professionals. She is a second-generation Asian American with her Masters degree from the University of Michigan and can speak several languages fluently. She is a super smart Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist earning 6 figure income. I work in the same hospital where she is very well respected. The girl is healthy, loving, cheerful, and smokin'-hot gorgeous! In fact, she has often been called an "Asian trophy girlfriend" by people we know, even though she is humble about it. She is full of love, very family oriented, wants kids, and would probably make a great mom. I can't imagine why anyone would not want her as a daughter-in-law. When her boyfriend"s Jewish mom talks to her son, she always says my friend is amazing. However, when she is alone with my friend, she will say mean and hurtful things like, "My son is only having a fling and could not possibly be serious about an Asian girlfriend" and "he should not waste his life and future" and that she would never allow her son to marry a non-Jewish girl and would do everything to destroy the marriage. She also makes a lot of snide and hurtful remarks whenever her son is not around. When her son asks about it, she denies any animosity and calls my friend her precious little China doll. Her son seems completely duped his two-faced mother. This has been going one for some time and my friend is heart broken about it. She has tried everything to make the evil witch like her. I know Jewish moms are supposed to be protective of their sons but WTF? Why is this woman acting like this? What's her motive. Please explain the Jewish mom thing because we don't know how it works. .

Some parents (and not just Jewish ones) want their children to marry another Jewish woman/man. Basically racism with a religious flair.

Devious, I know but if his mom is pulling the wool over her son's eyes then playing fair and ignoring her is not likely to work. ---and just because the son hasn't said anything to his gf doesn't mean when his mom and him are alone she isn't trying to re-direct his interests.

Kids are only considered Jewish if the mother is Jewish. Your friend being of East Asian descent can't produce a Jewish baby. This bothers his mother. Also Jewish people are very ethnocentric, regardless if they are secular or not. Tough luck, but your friend is a China doll "Goy fling" that is being used until its time for him to settle with a Jewish girl. His mom is telling the truth.

I can't stand very traditional Chinese people even though I'm ethnically Chinese myself
I can't stand very traditional Chinese people even though I'm ethnically Chinese myself?
So my parents are immigrants from mainland China (Shanghai), and they are as stereotypically Chinese as you can get. When I was a kid I was forced to play the piano and would get locked out of the house late at night if I messed up a song too many times in a row. In the 2nd grade, I was really happy because I got an A on a test. I came home, told my parents, and they asked me if it was the highest grade in the class. I said no, one girl named Margaret got a score 2% higher than me. I got yelled at, told I was useless trash, I brought shame to the family, etc, that one day Margaret would grow up to be successful and I wouldn't. They never even MET Margaret before, but after that every time I said i got an A they would immediately follow it with "What did Margaret get?" and if Margaret got the SAME grade as me, 100%, they would still be annoyed that I didn't do better. There was an advanced class in my elementary school that you had to score higher than 90% on every subject to get into. My math scores were high enough, but my English scores were weaker since my parents spoke a different language at home and I didn't socialize in school. I didn't get placed in the advanced class, and my mom would go to the school and yell at the people on the main office. Then she would come home and yell at me, and even hit me for it. Margaret DID get into the class and so my parents would always say I embarrassed the family by being dumber than Margaret, even though they had never even MET Margaret. I got hit and even beaten for my grades through high school. Meanwhile, my parents would call their friends to ask what grades their friends' kids got, and if their friends' kids got higher scores than me I'd get yelled at too even if we weren't in the same class. But if the friends' kids didn't got lower scores, my parents would laugh about it together and say how stupid someone else's kid was. I even got yelled at once because my dad's friend's kid received an award from her elementary school. I said she was a year younger than me and they didn't have that award the year before when I was at the school, and my dad said that if I were really a good student, they would have MADE UP an award to give to me. I got slapped and even beaten for my grades a lot. My mom sent me to school once with a 102 degree fever because I "couldn't miss a day of school" and yelled at the school nurse because the school nurse wouldn't let me go back to class and affect the other students. Traditionally Chinese people act like this all the time, when I was little all the Chinese parents were equally crazy. I hate Chinese people so much that if I see Chinese parents with a kid, I feel sorry for the kid. I want to adopt a little kid from China one day to defend her from being raised by crazy Chinese people. Anyone else have crazy Chinese parents that they hate? Yes I am aware that not ALL Chinese people like this, but I'm saying it's part of the culture to be crazy. I don't hear Americans holding superstitions involving red ink or words that sound alike or call each other over the phone to compare their kids' grades and then yell at their kids for being useless and being a shame to the family when hanging up.

While it's true that Chinese culture is harsh when it comes to parents' appreciation of work and good grades, you have to know that--like all regular parents--your parents love you. I suffered throughout high school, where math was simply not my forte subject, and my parents were constantly on my back about it. However, when I got older, I realized that the pressure they put on me had helped me appreciate myself more. I learned to know myself when I had truly done my best and what grades to consider "acceptable". I thank my parents today for the way they were on my back because they helped me reach the success I've found today. Push through it and just do YOUR best. I know your parents' approval may be important to you but you must appreciate yourself first :)

I despise most old white people and I'm white so your issue isn't unique. I feel similar to you when these old people harp on the good old days where they trusted the government and they believe they should honor your debts and stuff like that. Seriously, trust the government I shouldn't even have to point out the stupidity in that one and the banks and our whole economic system as a whole are such a scam that only a brainwashed old person would just randomly give all your money to some bank regardless of how much your getting ripped off under some misguided notion of "honor". If the old people I'm talking about had any honor they wouldn't have allowed thugs in business suits to take over our economic system and set up a debt slavery system, not to mention the things like Tonkin Bay. How many peoples lives were ruined by Vietnam? I'm actually torn on whether I'd rather see the stuff your talking about or obnoxious stupidity of the old white people.

Could I still teach English abroad if I majored in registered nursing
Could I still teach English abroad if I majored in registered nursing?
I'm going into my junior year of university and I plan on majoring in registered nursing. I have a huge interest in East Asia so I was thinking of teaching English in maybe Japan or Hong Kong after I get my Bachelor's, although I wouldn't mind South Korea or China. Anyway, I just want to know, if I went away for a year or two to teach English would that effect my skills and what I remember as a nurse? I plan on going as soon as I finish my degree so I'm just worried that I'll forget a lot of what I learned in university and I'll end up needing to go back to school. So, does it seem feasible to major in nursing and go away to teach English for a year or two? If so, would doing self-study while I'm away help me to remember? Or should I just give it up and travel after I get my career going? I realize that there isn't really a concrete answer that can be given to this type of question but I would just like some opinions. Thanks. :-)

Are Filipinos really considered in US as Pacific Islanders and not Asians
Are Filipinos really considered in US as Pacific Islanders and not Asians?
Don’t be fooled at once by the title of the entry. The story behind that statement excludes us. Last year, a friend left the Philippines and went to the United States. In his German class, the students were international. The professor asked who the Asians were and one by one the Asian students introduced themselves. And so it went, the Chinese, the Koreans, the Vietnamese, the Singaporeans etc. all raised their hands. Finally the professor calls this Filipino and asks, Professor: Where are you from? Filipino: Philippines Professor: Oh, Filipinos are not Asians! They are Pacific Islanders! Because ASIANS ARE SMART… In the United States, it is already being taught in schools that Filipinos are not Asians—that we are Pacific Islanders. While there is a lot of reaction against it, I am surprised that many intelligent Filipinos abroad have accepted this without question. Pacific Islands are places like Samoa, Hawaii, Tahiti, Guam, Cook Islands, Mariana Islands—and their common denominator? Most of them do not possess their own national and political identities—they are islands under the jurisdiction and protection of more powerful countries like USA, France and New Zealand. Most of these Pacific Islands are still referred to as “indigenous natives.†They have very, very small populations and they have no global role or power. While they have their own unique culture and characteristics, they do not hail from any great civilization in the past. Hindi sila lumaban at tumayo para sa sarili nilang lahi. What is even sad, however, is that even Pacific Islanders do not like and do not accept Filipinos! One good example are Hawaiian tourists we met in China. When they learned that we were Filipinos, they disgustingly uttered , “You eat Balot!†and avoided us like a plague. The statement of this American guy, filled with racism obviously merits strong disapproval. In fact, our friend was so angry after having been humiliated in front of the class. The logical thing to say, is that the Philippines IS part of the ASEAN group of nations. We can also say that Japan is an island in the Pacific Ocean but is not considered a Pacific Island. But we should ask—why would no one dare to call the Japanese people Pacific Islanders? Why pick on the Philippines? Simple. Because Japan has produced cars and we have produced dried mangoes and pastillas. The Philippines has been so left behind by Asian countries that foreigners shake their heads and ask, “What happened to your country?†Let us not even compare the Philippines with the four Tiger economies, ‘cuz they’re just way way way too far ahead. What about Vietnam and Thailand? I read that for every one Filipino who has a Master’s Degree, Vietnam has 6, Thailand has 25 and Singapore has 200. But why bother to be educated when the national dream is to go abroad? We are scattered from Hongkong to Kazakhstan, from Italy to even North Korea. Thousands of our doctors are becoming nurses. Our teachers become caregivers. Our women become entertainers and prostitutes. Our young people only know one course and that is nursing. Why would foreigners respect us when we do not even respect ourselves? We are the country of Gucci Gangs—our elite own Picassos and they simply have no heart to alleviate and educate the masses, as F.

Most Filipinos I met are very nice peope (but not necessarily sharp/intelligent like the East Asians). Vietnamese in my opinion isn't that smart either. Koreans can be pretty dumb too. Once again, he can be classified as both I guess.

You want me to read all of that? Oh no- dear. I haven't got the time...

if the professor was asian, he wasnt a very smart asian

too much generalizations/ stereotypes>>>>>>>>>>> >>>Simple. Because Japan has produced cars and we have produced dried mangoes and pastillas. The Philippines has been so left behind by Asian countries that foreigners shake their heads and ask, “What happened to your country?†Let us not even compare the Philippines with the four Tiger economies, ‘cuz they’re just way way way too far ahead. What about Vietnam and Thailand? I read that for every one Filipino who has a Master’s Degree, Vietnam has 6, Thailand has 25 and Singapore has 200. But why bother to be educated when the national dream is to go abroad? We are scattered from Hongkong to Kazakhstan, from Italy to even North Korea. Thousands of our doctors are becoming nurses. Our teachers become caregivers. Our women become entertainers and prostitutes. Our young people only know one course and that is nursing. Why would foreigners respect us when we do not even respect ourselves? We are the country of Gucci Gangs—our elite own Picassos and they simply have no heart to alleviate and educate the masses, as F.

who cars really? people in this world are always trying to put a label on something

What does it matter? The Philippines is in Asia, therefore if you're Filipino you are Asian. It's pretty simple. Being smart or not has nothing to do with anything.
7 :
forgot to mention that Filipinos average the 2nd highest household income out of all asian groups in USA... 1st is Indians.

OK, first of all, expecting Americans to know the least little thing about geography is expecting way too much of them. I'm married to an African, from Ghana. I have encountered hundreds of people who think that Africa is a country, not a continent; several who've asked me if I went on a "safari" when I went to Africa, and whether or not my husband and kids speak "African" (there are 45 major languages in Ghana alone, not even looking at the other 55 countries on the continent). Anyway, the point is, most Americans are going to have a blank "What are you talking about" look when you try to discuss the Philippines. My doctor is from the Philippines. And I've had previous doctors from there. They are good doctors, esp. the one I have now. MY confusion about the Philippines has to do with a sort-of-Asian look to the people, but Spanish sounding names. And Tagalog doesn't seem to be a language like Chinese and Japanese, since it's written with Latin (Roman) characters. So from that perspective, I can see it being considered as a "Pacific Island" country as opposed to being a part of Asia.

Don’t be fooled at once by the title of the entry. The story behind that statement excludes us. Last year, a friend left the Philippines and went to the United States. In his German class, the students were international. The professor asked who the Asians were and one by one the Asian students introduced themselves. And so it went, the Chinese, the Koreans, the Vietnamese, the Singaporeans etc. all raised their hands. Finally the professor calls this Filipino and asks, Professor: Where are you from? Filipino: Philippines Professor: Oh, Filipinos are not Asians! They are Pacific Islanders! Because ASIANS ARE SMART… In the United States, it is already being taught in schools that Filipinos are not Asians—that we are Pacific Islanders. While there is a lot of reaction against it, I am surprised that many intelligent Filipinos abroad have accepted this without question. Pacific Islands are places like Samoa, Hawaii, Tahiti, Guam, Cook Islands, Mariana Islands—and their common denominator? Most of them do not possess their own national and political identities—they are islands under the jurisdiction and protection of more powerful countries like USA, France and New Zealand. Most of these Pacific Islands are still referred to as “indigenous natives.†They have very, very small populations and they have no global role or power. While they have their own unique culture and characteristics, they do not hail from any great civilization in the past. Hindi sila lumaban at tumayo para sa sarili nilang lahi. What is even sad, however, is that even Pacific Islanders do not like and do not accept Filipinos! One good example are Hawaiian tourists we met in China. When they learned that we were Filipinos, they disgustingly uttered , “You eat Balot!†and avoided us like a plague. The statement of this American guy, filled with racism obviously merits strong disapproval. In fact, our friend was so angry after having been humiliated in front of the class. The logical thing to say, is that the Philippines IS part of the ASEAN group of nations. We can also say that Japan is an island in the Pacific Ocean but is not considered a Pacific Island. But we should ask—why would no one dare to call the Japanese people Pacific Islanders? Why pick on the Philippines? Simple. Because Japan has produced cars and we have produced dried mangoes and pastillas. The Philippines has been so left behind by Asian countries that foreigners shake their heads and ask, “What happened to your country?†Let us not even compare the Philippines with the four Tiger economies, ‘cuz they’re just way way way too far ahead.
