Looking for nursing resources

Looking for nursing resources...?
I have a friend who is a nurse, Unfortunately most of her experience is in China. Here in this country we don't seem to recognize the experience of doctors and nurses from China (maybe other countries as well). She is looking for some resources that may be able to help her get started. Any you can give me would be appreciated.

Are you in the US? If she wants to work in the States she needs to get a green card and then get licensed in the state she plans to work in.This includes having her education /experience evaluated and she will have to pass the NCLEX. She will likely have a long wait for permission to work due to retrogression. Check out the International Forum at allnurses.com

I am an American living in Chongqing, China. Just show up! If you come, they will use you. I do not speak or understand Chinese, but in spite of my inability to communicate, for the past week they worked me to near exhaustion. I am back at my apartment now in Chongqing for two days, I will be returning day after tomorrow.

In China, a nurse told me that her skin is so younglooking because she works at an abortion clinic. Reason?
No, she said she eats them. How does that make skin younger? Lexa, you aren't very culturally sensitive. Yo Gabby, I wrote "fetus" not "placenta." Whether or not I was at an abortion clinic is irrelevant. Finally, many Chinese DO eat fetus and stillborn babies. Chinese will have no problem with this. Everyone else: Beware, very graphic photos. http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t37170-0.html

foetus are used in making skin cream but i don't think working in an abortion clinic would be reason.
2 :
she uses the newborn's pacenta
3 :
not nice, but there is an age old vile joke that ppl keep young as they apply foetal grindings to stay young
4 :
this is very strange...what does she think she sucks the life out of the children at the abortion clinic?!?! no way n e one can stay young around such tragedy.
5 :
omg...thats so sick!
6 :
That's totally sick man. She needs to have her brain checked out.
7 :
She told you that because she was probably sick of you bothering her and telling her how beautiful her skin was or of you hitting on her. so figuring you were a dumb she told you to go eat placenta hahaha. but no, chinese people dont eat placenta, we eat fungus or pork blood or soybean curd for skin, but we dont eat placenta. hope that helps *what were you doing at a abortion clinic in china, and why didnt you report her, thats just sick if its true, and our culture does not eat human placenta and if you believe it then youre an idiot Addition* This guy or girl is obvisouly a racist and a very ignorant one at that. Its like me saying, Why do Americans eat other people? Look at this link he likes to kill people then eat them and put them in the fridge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/jeffrey_dah... Or this one, very graphic. Richard Trenton Chase Known as the Vampire of Sacramento, he killed puppies and people, took their blood and brains home to his blender. He believed his blood was turning to powder and that he needed the blood of other creatures to replenish it. http://www.crimelibrary.com/serial_kille... I guess because of this I will assume all Americans like to eat human meat and drink dog blood. So I must too because I am an American and an ignorant one. So, yeah I know you want to justify eating fetus so go ahead and do it because chinese people do it. Thats probably why youre in China.

The placenta....Has alot of protein.

Re-how can China kill dogs? How can they beat the to death

Re-how can China kill dogs? How can they beat the to death???
Chinese Hide Dogs to Escape Crackdown By AUDRA ANG, AP BEIJING (Nov. 16) - Elaine Loke is shutting down her dog boutique and will spirit her golden retrievers Hippy and Bally out of Beijing to escape the city's sweeping anti-rabies campaign. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk About It: Post Thoughts Dog owners like Loke have been scrambling to hide their pets in the face of a new crackdown which allows only one dog per household and bans breeds taller than 14 inches. Fears have been fueled by graphic Internet pictures and witnesses who say police are beating to death strays and dogs that run afoul of regulations. "I can't believe this is happening," said Loke, 33, who keeps the curtains in her first-floor apartment drawn to ward off prying neighbors and walks her dogs in an underground parking lot. "It's so stressful. In the morning, I hear dogs barking and people talking outside my home and I think the police are coming." The pressure is so bad that Loke is returning to her native Hong Kong and closing a business she has had for two years. In China, dogs have long been seen as a source of meat as much as companionship. But the current crackdown has touched a nerve in the rapidly modernizing capital, especially among its burgeoning middle class. "What kind of rules are these? I don't expect everybody to love animals. But I do want to have my rights to keep pets," said Clare Xiao, an account manager at an advertising company. She sent her larger Brittany to a kennel run by a friend and kept her Pekinese, a stray she found on the street. "What the government is doing is just disappointing, cold and emotionless," said Xiao. Many of the prohibitions have been on the books since 2003, but only sporadically enforced. The city of 13 million people has 1 million dogs, half of them unregistered, according to state media. Most Popular Stories · Deadly Storms Tear Across Southern States · eBay Restricts Sale of PlayStation 3 · Medical Group, Suzanne Somers at Odds Over 'Bioidenticals' · Moms Protest Nursing Woman's Removal From Plane · O.J. Simpson Talks About How He Could Have Killed Ex-Wife A sharp increase in rabies cases nationwide has prompted the renewed vigilance. Only 3 percent of China's dogs are vaccinated against rabies and the disease is nearly always fatal in humans once symptoms develop, though it can be warded off by a series of expensive and painful injections. Officials have extended the 2003 rules to cover not only Beijing's center but some outlying areas. The clampdown, announced Nov. 6, gave owners until Thursday to comply or the dogs would be seized and the owners fined. One owner Zhu Qiao has moved three times since 2001 to find areas where her black-and-white dog, Gou Gou, could be raised safely and within the law. "He's part of my life, he's my friend and family," said Zhu, 30, a television producer. "If you want to impose a law, you have to get the opinion of dog owners and experts. You can't just take them away." "I can't move again. There's no option but to hide him and if he gets taken, I'll go with him." Another owner had his Labrador retriever taken away Wednesday because she was too big. "She is a very amicable dog. She never barked," said the owner, a businessman who would give only his surname Yang. "If they don't allow me to raise her here, I will find another place. I will get her back." Witness accounts and photos on the Internet have shown dogs being captured in nets and pummeled with wooden and metal sticks. But authorities have vowed to carry out a "strict but civilized" campaign that police hoped would not anger dog owners, according to the official Xinhua News Agency. "I have never heard of dogs being culled after they were caught by police. Dogs are a man's best friend and we treat them as friends, even when we have to lock them up for the sake of public security," Xinhua quoted a Ministry of Public Security official, Bao Suixian, as saying. Many owners have sent their dogs to kennels outside the city. Some are handing them over to friends and family. Joyce Wang gave one of her dogs to her sister and is keeping Ding Ding, her fox terrier, close by her side. She said she had heard that the government was offering $25 to people who reported on rule-breaking dog owners. "I'm scared and worried. Now I don't take him outside during the day," Wang said. "Even in the evening, we will take a detour if we see people in the compound we live in."

Because they're a completely different culture from ours. Their values are not the same. It's the same horribleness that leads us to slaughter horses to sell to belgians.

It is very sad what is happening to our beloved dogs, Worldwide.. However, in USA last year WE murdered over 4 MILLION dogs, just because they were born, to a country that doesn't want them or want to care for them.. Change begins at HOME....

I read about this maybe a month ago when all this started happening. People were out walking their dogs on a leash, and authorities would grab the leash and beat the dog to death right in front of the owner! I can't imagine that happening here!! But..China is a totally different country, and to them, this is a "normal" way of doing things I guess. Still disgusting. They have no regard for life over there...look what they do to their own people! Do you really think they give a rats behind about some dogs? What I dont understand is, why don't they have free rabies clinics, or have their dogs on a rabies schedule like we have here? I'm sure they can afford to get the vaccines! With all the "Made in China" products the US buys on a daily basis.
