Are there nursing homes in china?
I would like to become a nursing home administrator... Get my degree in the U.S. And one day move to china and transfer my degree to work over there. Are there nursing homes in china? If there are, is it popular for the elderly to go there? Or is it very rare?

most likely

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.

China has an ageing population if there are no nursing homes they'd be in trouble
4 :
no. old people are left to die at home!! true!

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.
2 :
One more time..... 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.

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.
5 :
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.

the candidate you are referring to just wants to lower tax cuts for the upper class not put more taxes on... he just feels that all classes should receive tax breaks relative to their income.... a rich person gets less tax breaks because it takes a smaller portion of his income to buy food.. gas...etc a lower class person must use a higher percentage of their income to pay for these every day items .... this is the principal behind a progressive tax system

Its just jealousy, plain and simple. People are too lazy to pursue an education or work at a career, and would rather have the govt. take care of them.
