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.

OMG Nursing! international studies will have you living ta home with your folks until you are 50. Look at school with a vocation in mind. Nursing rocks
2 :
If nursing appeals to you that much, then I would say that you are not going to be happy unless you are a nurse. Why not be an international/traveling nurse?
3 :
NURSING! That is, if you want to get a job when you graduate.

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. :-)

Depends on the type of learner you are. I learned algebra, but after three years of not using it, I had to take a math course that needed algebra skills, I pretty much had to reteach myself in a crash course.

I 'think' an English Refresher Course would HELP! English is a Quirky Languange....Synonyom, Antonyms, Homonyms, Silent letters, i before e except....etc....lol...lol... Proper Grammar......Be ready to laugh a lot and TONS of Questions.... Good Luck!

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.

YEs, as long as you have your Bachelors you can teach.
