You should pursue a career of your interest. if nursing is your interest, then you can consider it as a career choice. personally i don't think it wise to choose a career based on your migration-asiprations, as this can change over time. eg. what makes you think that when you graduate with a bursing qualification that US will still have shortage of nurses that it needs to employ foreign nurses? And even if you manage to get to the US and be a nurse, can you predict that when you are in your in your mid-30s or 40s that you will not want to go back to Malaysia? And what then? Will you want to be a nurse in malaysia?

Maybe you are just stressing yourself out; you remembered the incident with your grandfather and it is in the back of your mind. Also, you might just be a nervous person, worrying about taking proper care of the sick or injured. After awhile, you will build your confidence and you will be just fine.

Nursing or Chef? Which one should I go for

Nursing or Chef? Which one should I go for?
Okay, I got two offer to continue my study. First is nursing, and another one is culinary arts. I always wanted to be a nurse. A great nurse, but at the same time, my passion for culinary arts is very high, and now I can't decide which one should I go for. I don't really mind about the salary, really. I just wanted to give a great public service. So, which course should I go and pick? Cooking for people or healing people? I'm 19 years old, Male from Terengganu, Malaysia.

Providing much needed health care to people is very important especially in Asian countries where a lot of people do not get proper health care. You may be able to combine the degrees and become a nutrition specialist. This way you have a medical profession that is mingled with your love of cooking, and you're providing both services to people.
2 :
If you really want to help people, go nursing all the way.
3 :
Both careers are noble. Both have opportunities to serve others. One pays 3-4 times higher wage. It may not matter now, but it will when you turn 60. Nursing is hard work but has more opportunity to advance to a teaching or desk job. Cooking is hard work and remains so. The cooks I know who work in a Metropolitan city make around $14/hr in a retirement home. It is hard, hard work. In the United States, you can't live on that salary. If you don't succeed as a cook in an upscale restaurant, you will have to take whatever job you can find. Do you plan to have a family? If so, you will need to support them. Why not go for the higher pay and use your culinary passion on weekends. Feed the poor????

What to do? Sri Lanka or Malaysia

What to do? Sri Lanka or Malaysia?
The three of us are going to do two weeks volunteering in Sri Lanka as we'll be qualified nurses this summer, we'll be based in Kandy. We were considering flying to Malaysia (found flights for £120) thinking of heading there for a week of our month, is that a good time to spend there? We'll be going to Sri Lanka mid August and Malaysia beginning of september? Any tips on both Sri Lanka and Malaysia? We've only got a month before starting work!

SRI LANKA - the city of 'Kandy' is in the hills so you'll have nice weather during that time. There's a very beautiful and historically important event happening in Kandy during August which is the "Kandy Perehara" (pageant) and it'll be a fantastic experience for you if you could come in time for that. General tips - cotton is the best type of garment to wear because of our sunny weather. generally shorts or tops with straps are OK for casual day- to- day wear but when visiting religious places it is mandatory to have your body covered as in you can wear pants or long skirts and tops with sleeves. food might be a little spicy for you but its tasty... long distance traveling is possible by bus, train or private vehicles which are for hire but the "trishaw" or "3 wheeler" - a small contraption with 3 wheels is the most common mode of transport. since you are based in Kandy walking will give you the best sight seeing though. Have mineral water which is freely available for sale or boiled and cooled water. even though waterborne deceases are very rare here its better to be safe. Ours is a beautiful country. We have everything!! Sunny weather, beautiful beaches, magnificent rain forests, historical sites, Mountains, Wild life parks... you name it we have it .. and being an Island, this is all within a few hundred KM!! So, I think you'll have many places to visit without going to any other country. The most important aspect of our country is our people!! you will not find a more friendlier, helpful and caring group of citizens with smiling faces to top it, anywhere in the world !! :-) oh and about 95% of us speak and understand some level of English!

for beginners maybe around RM1400 include critical allowance and if you have a degree your scale will be U41 and you will earn around RM1800, on top of that you can also do locum in private hospital

as much as nurses paid in Japan if you know what i mean

I always encourage young girls to take up nursing. The staring pay may not be that good . But think of the long term. First of all, the course is free, normally sponsored by the hospital, A job is guranteed at the end of the course. Malaysian nurses are highly in demand from all over the world, many of them that I know are working in the Middle East, England, Australia, ect.. Don't forget that there's also oppotunities of you marrying a doctor. Bright future! Bright future, go for it.

2 :
don't look at it. Or you could think of blood like ketcup.
3 :
go to a blood donation center and donate
4 :
The best way to overcome a fear is to expose yourself to it. Its called desensitization. You'll get through it if you put forth the energy to.
5 :
you should probably drink the blood.....it tastes good....
6 :
IF is the blood that makes you anxious, i suggest bringing some rationalization to the situation. Start reading books and articles about blood, and about the normal nursing procedures regarding blood. You can later then star looking at online pictures of these same procedures, and feeling comfortable with the concept. Besides, dont worry :) Many med students feel scared or irrationally dizzy when confronted with this things, but these fade with time. Good luck.
7 :
I would say, get familiar with blood like watch some films on surgery or other, but what helped me is I finally realized that blood truly is life giving, not death ,like we see in the movies, associated with murder or accidents. But all of us have to have blood to live!
8 :
I saw a child with less fear than me about seeing blood, I was 14 them 6 I was crying over a shot and she looked at me like you are so luckyI felt like a sucker and it made me strong. Visit kids who are sick, see their strength and your fear will subside, and your passion will grow.
9 :
Perhaps just the thought of someone peircing the skin with a needle to draw blood makes you queasy. I have known several guys who nearly pass out just from getting a shot much less having blood drawn.This may pass as you are more exposed to it. I used to work for a vet and the first couple surjuries, I observed and necropsies made me feel like I was going to faint. After that as I watched and helped more, I was fine. One time we had a cat who had been caught in a car's fanbelt. Luckily the cat lived but was sutured in so many places he looked like a jigsaw puzzle. The owner brought him back in a few days after surjury because he had torn out the stitches in a few places. She had a weak stomache and could not hold the cat while the vet treated him though she was in the room. I had to. Let me tell you , looking at fresh meat (no blood tho) deep cuts and torn stitches made me want to pass out bad i was so light headed and sick to my stomach! I just kept praying to myself while the vet did his work... Please don't let me faint... over and over til it was done. As soon as possible I ran to the rest room and washed my face in cold water and sat down for a few minutes and then I was fine. After that I could do almost anything with no reaction. I went on to work in later years for Animal Control and you see some pretty terrible things from animal cruelty cases to badly injured strays hit by cars, Many heart breaking things. But you get used to it . You don't ever get used to the emotions you feel but you become a professional doing a job no matter how bad it is just be cause of the repetition of the same circumstances over and over. I am sure EMT's go through a beginners stage too where their first few really bad cases make them sick. it is normal for many people and most overcome it. Good luck dear.
10 :
its something you will get used to in time...so just ease up on yourself..eventually you will find a way...maybe breathing techniques to be able to cope good luck in nursing school...ps nurses rock!

What does this joke mean? (this joke is from the book "BITTERSWEET SIXTEEN")?
I dont really understand this joke. This joke is from the book "Bittersweet Sixteen" by Carrie Karasyov & Jill Kargman. ------------------------------- "Better than without them," said Jake. Before I could ask him what the deal was with his MIA 'rents, he changed the subject. "Wow, so this is your fashion design center," he said, examining my piles of fabric, ribbons and sewing gear. "Yeah this is where it all happens, my very unglamourous sweatshop." "Where are all the Malaysian eleven-year-olds?" he asked. I had to laugh. But my smile was eclipsed by a full-force blush attach as Jake's eyes turned to peruse my walls, which were laden with huge, romantic black-and-white posters of couples kissing, running hand in hand on the Brooklyn Bridge, and the famous post-WWII soldier-nurse smooch in Times Square. --------------------------------------- So that was the joke.

How can I help support my mum in her workplace

How can I help support my mum in her workplace?
My mum is a registered nurse working in a resthome. When she goes to work (usually at night) there is typically only one or two other RN's in the place. It's large and sprawling, and at night the nurses are spread thin, so the bulk of staff are made up by caregivers. They're all Filippino/Malaysian and band together, speaking their language to one another, effectively excluding nurses and patients from any conversation. Now, my mum is placed in charge of the home at night, and as such is often at loggerheads with the caregivers when they get cheeky, trying to get things done their way instead of the prescribed way. They've taken this to the point where they set off fire alarms deliberately just so they can get breaks more often, vandalised mum's car by scraping off the logo, and being snarky and rude. I know there's nothing I can do directly because I don't have the facts. Any direct complaint made by me may place my mother's job in jeopardy. But it's just so horrible to sit with her after she comes home and hear that she ate dinner alone in a side room because the canteen was full of caregivers who would be rude to her if she tried to sit with them. I really want to do something, but I don't know what. Could someone please give me some sensible advice? I'd really appreciate it.

Honey I don't know what age you are, but you sound like a lovely caring young daughter to your Mum. I tell you what I would do if I were you, not telling your Mum I would go off and see the Matron of that place and tell them how it is for your Mother when she gets home. These caregivers should be forced not to speak their native language, they are grouping up and going against your mother who is in charge as you say, as they think there is safety in numbers, which means them all against one person your Mum. If your Mum won't stand up for herself or more so complain about them, then perhaps coming from you to the matron the rest home will pay attention to what is going on. I would also try encouraging your mother to take up work at another place if I were you. I think the reason this rest home employs so many people from Malaysia etc is that they work for less than the average pay over here anyway - so that don't say much for the owners of that rest home does it. Good Luck anyway, I think your mother is best out of there, and working somewhere else where her skills talent and kindness will be appreciated. God bless you both.

It sounds like you are a very caring person. I know that you want to help your mother, but unfortunately, there is nothing you can do. The only person who can change this situation is your mother. Now, I feel sorry for your mother because I know how awful it is to have a stressful job. But she should be careful not to stress YOU out. It is OK to complain once in a while about things. But it is not OK to complain all the time about the same thing, without doing anything to help yourself. What I'm saying is, to me, it sounds like your mother needs to either DO something about this situation or stop complaining. Because right now, she is making herself miserable and she is making you worried, and things at work are not improving. So here is what I think you need to do. Tell your mother that you understand why is is stressed. But she stressing you out and she is making herself miserable. It is time to do something about this situation. Tell her that she either needs to start looking for another job or say something to her supervisor. She should certainly report her suspicions about the fire alarms. The other thing she needs to do is start using her authority to control the staff. Now, it could be that the resthome bosses won't do anything about this situation. If they don't, your mother needs to find another job. This situation is obviously making everyone in your home unhappy, and it can't go on. Good luck.

If you can invest a lot, then you can start at your premises buying good quality dialysis machines. Make a visit to Madras Institute of Nephrology or Guest Hospital or MR Hospital and these Hospitals provide a quality dialysis service to people in Chennai and where you can find variety of machines and the dialysers used. If your investment will be less, then try to go with a established hospital. Always keep in your mind, doctors are more business (money) minded than a hard-core business men. They may try to suck everything out from you than supporting you (Sorry to say but it is the truth). In India normally people re-use dialysers. Please find a good vendor of the machines with good service back-up. Trivitron Medical Systems is one such organisation. But ask the supplier of the machines and see that he is handling the same brand atleast for 2 to 3 years.

Liver Dialysis for the first time in the country In continuation with its policy of bringing the best healthcare facilities to the country, Apollo Hospitals Group, Asia�s most trusted healthcare provider, launched a state-of-the-art Liver Unit at Apollo Hospitals, Chennai today. A first-of-its-kind initiative in the country, the Liver Unit will provide treatment facilities for all kinds of liver problems and would have a stand alone Intensive Care Unit. A unique feature of the Liver Unit will be the soon to be installed Liver Dialysis Facility, which will be available for the first time in India. The Liver Unit was dedicated to the people by Dr. Prathap C Reddy � Chairman, Apollo Hospitals Group. The inaugural ceremony was followed by a discussion on Liver diseases in India and the treatment facilities available for the same. The session was attended by Hepatologists from the city and was addressed by specialists from Apollo Hospitals, Chennai and Delhi. Speaking at the occasion, Dr. Prathap C Reddy said, �The newly opened Liver Unit is a very valuable addition to Apollo Hospitals and to Chennai�s healthcare infrastructure. It will offer quality healthcare facilities at a fraction of the international cost and through its Liver Dialysis facility, which will be available for the first time in the country, it will ensure that patients get the benefit of the best international facilities in India itself.� He further added, �Apollo Hospitals has been the pioneer in treatment of Liver diseases and our centre in Delhi, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, has already been providing Liver Transplant facilities for over five years now. Indraprastha Apollo is also the only center in the entire South and Central Asian Region to offer facilities for Live Donor Liver Transplantation.� Apollo Hospital�s Liver Unit will offer several benefits to people. A stand-alone unit, it will have 30 beds, sophisticated equipment for treatment and a fully equipped Intensive Care Unit (ICU). It will have a dedicated protocol for handling cases, ensuring that the treatment process is streamlined. The medical teams will work in close coordination and every week there will be a �Grand Round� by all the key specialists to assess the progress made by each patient. This is aimed at understanding every individual patient�s requirement in the best possible manner and offer instant solutions to facilitate quick recuperation. Another noteworthy feature of the Liver Unit is the soon to be installed Liver Dialysis Facility. To be available for the first time in the country, it will be similar to Renal (Kidney) Dialysis and will help patients with severe liver disease to get stabilized before they undergo surgery. It will also help in de-toxifying any negative agents in the body of the patient. The Unit will gradually increase its service delivery and will also start liver transplant programs soon. It will offer treatment facilities for all kind of liver complications and would be a one-stop-shop for any disease of the liver. The Apollo Hospitals Enterprises Ltd. (AHEL) was formed with the merger of IHCL (Indian Hospitals Corporation Ltd.), DHCL (Deccan Hospitals Corporation Ltd.) and OSHL (Om Sindoor Hotels Ltd.). The enterprise today comprises a network of 39 hospitals, owning and managing over 5,000 hospital beds, 10 primary clinics and over 100 pharmacies, making it the single largest healthcare provider in Asia. The group has an aggregated turnover of over Rs. 500 crores. Apart from the core area of hospitals, the group has also diversified into various related avenues including e-health, franchising, IT & internet based technology, telemedicine, virtual medical university, education and training, home healthcare, pharmacy retailing, hospital project management and health insurance.

Well, when I went back to Malaysia 2 years ago, I was absolutely in shock at how much RM1 can get you and it got you very little. I went to Starbucks and already a cup of coffee cost RM10+. That's coffee folks. For me it was no problem because I am making money in US Dollars & I figured if I was making RM25,000+ a month, I would be pretty well off in Malaysia (if only I could find that job in Malaysia). But seriously for the locals, it must really be difficult to live in Malaysia if you make less than RM5000. Money value is so small nowand if you live and work in Kuala Lumpur, its a struggle as even food cost a lot more.

Yes. The salary in Malaysia is currently very low compared to other progressive countries. However, the prices of goods in Malaysia is considered cheaper than many other progressive countries. In my opinion, Malaysia government is able to increase the salary of their workers equivalent to other nations if they could get rid of corruption totally. Corruption give a very serious impact on government revenue. as such, government do not have sufficient funds to develop the country. Moreover to pay their workers with fat salary. The Malaysian people should have consorted effort to fight corruption and should avoid being self centred. They should think of helping the government to achieve their goals for the benefit of the nation and its people. Otherwise, nothing will change and the people will become poorer and poorer. If U want to progress, U have to look at things at a bigger perspective not only at yourself.
10 :
So what shall we do? Leave the country? You need to learn to live with it. If u need a better pay, get a job with higher responsibilities and risk. Life might be stressful but it fulfills your criteria for a better pay. Not a 9-5 teaching job. Try not insulting the government hospitals. It is a place where many lives have been saved and serves the society, just like the school. You rather die than going to government hospital?? uhuh, what about the rest of Malaysians who are depending on government hospital? you advising them to die rather than seeking for medical treatments? And the snobbish nurses that you were insulting have most probably done million noble deeds. They clean people’s poo p, change diapers, clean vomitus, feed the disabled babies, helped your mum during her deliveries, and list goes on ..Etc.
11 :
What you did mentioned was only some extreme cases which I still can agree with you.actually for fresh grad, basically the pay is around 1800-2500MYR/m.Some might get below and some might lucky to get >2500.For me,I'm fresh grad and currently attach to a Dutch company operating here as a reprersentative office for asia pac.I earn 3000/m.My friend's basic sdalary is 1500/m,buttt he frequently go to offshore, and after add up with his travel allowances++, average he could earn up to 5k monthly.It just the matter of luck.But overall,I agree with you,the average salary here in Malaysia is suck.
12 :
Too many public servants, don't work also get pay at the month, why so hardworking, work never end lah..... If you want fast service pay under the table loh or else wait loh! Reduce the manpower, improve the efficiency, don't suka suka pocket money, then will be enough to pay the good guys

What does this joke mean? (this joke is from the book "BITTERSWEET SIXTEEN")?
I dont really understand this joke. This joke is from the book "Bittersweet Sixteen" by Carrie Karasyov & Jill Kargman. ------------------------------- "Better than without them," said Jake. Before I could ask him what the deal was with his MIA 'rents, he changed the subject. "Wow, so this is your fashion design center," he said, examining my piles of fabric, ribbons and sewing gear. "Yeah this is where it all happens, my very unglamourous sweatshop." "Where are all the Malaysian eleven-year-olds?" he asked. I had to laugh. But my smile was eclipsed by a full-force blush attach as Jake's eyes turned to peruse my walls, which were laden with huge, romantic black-and-white posters of couples kissing, running hand in hand on the Brooklyn Bridge, and the famous post-WWII soldier-nurse smooch in Times Square. --------------------------------------- So that was the joke.

I'm a Malaysian, but a Singapore PR, is there any way that i can get a scholarship? I'm not sure if bank loans are advisable, i'm afraid of paying back the loan amount, with the high interest. Furthermore,my family is not so supportive of me so i'm only depending on myself. Please don't tell me anything about FAFSA or anything that is under the US, they won't be able to help, like i said, I am a Malaysian and a Singapore PR. I am really keen to go,but i just don't know how to get the money. Thanks.

Even if I wanted to be an operating room nurse, I would have to take the certifying examination to have the title Cert. OR Nurse-just being a Nurse and a Surg Tech alone doesn't certify me.

How can I help support my mum in her workplace

How can I help support my mum in her workplace?
My mum is a registered nurse working in a resthome. When she goes to work (usually at night) there is typically only one or two other RN's in the place. It's large and sprawling, and at night the nurses are spread thin, so the bulk of staff are made up by caregivers. They're all Filippino/Malaysian and band together, speaking their language to one another, effectively excluding nurses and patients from any conversation. Now, my mum is placed in charge of the home at night, and as such is often at loggerheads with the caregivers when they get cheeky, trying to get things done their way instead of the prescribed way. They've taken this to the point where they set off fire alarms deliberately just so they can get breaks more often, vandalised mum's car by scraping off the logo, and being snarky and rude. I know there's nothing I can do directly because I don't have the facts. Any direct complaint made by me may place my mother's job in jeopardy. But it's just so horrible to sit with her after she comes home and hear that she ate dinner alone in a side room because the canteen was full of caregivers who would be rude to her if she tried to sit with them. I really want to do something, but I don't know what. Could someone please give me some sensible advice? I'd really appreciate it.

I tell you what I would do if I were you, not telling your Mum I would go off and see the Matron of that place and tell them how it is for your Mother when she gets home. These caregivers should be forced not to speak their native language, they are grouping up and going against your mother who is in charge as you say, as they think there is safety in numbers, which means them all against one person your Mum. If your Mum won't stand up for herself or more so complain about them, then perhaps coming from you to the matron the rest home will pay attention to what is going on. I would also try encouraging your mother to take up work at another place if I were you. I think the reason this rest home employs so many people from Malaysia etc is that they work for less than the average pay over here anyway - so that don't say much for the owners of that rest home does it. Good Luck anyway, I think your mother is best out of there, and working somewhere else where her skills talent and kindness will be appreciated. God bless you both.

It sounds like you are a very caring person. I know that you want to help your mother, but unfortunately, there is nothing you can do. The only person who can change this situation is your mother. Now, I feel sorry for your mother because I know how awful it is to have a stressful job. But she should be careful not to stress YOU out. It is OK to complain once in a while about things. But it is not OK to complain all the time about the same thing, without doing anything to help yourself. What I'm saying is, to me, it sounds like your mother needs to either DO something about this situation or stop complaining. Because right now, she is making herself miserable and she is making you worried, and things at work are not improving. So here is what I think you need to do. Tell your mother that you understand why is is stressed. But she stressing you out and she is making herself miserable. It is time to do something about this situation. Tell her that she either needs to start looking for another job or say something to her supervisor. She should certainly report her suspicions about the fire alarms. The other thing she needs to do is start using her authority to control the staff. Now, it could be that the resthome bosses won't do anything about this situation. If they don't, your mother needs to find another job. This situation is obviously making everyone in your home unhappy, and it can't go on. Good luck.

If you can invest a lot, then you can start at your premises buying good quality dialysis machines. Make a visit to Madras Institute of Nephrology or Guest Hospital or MR Hospital and these Hospitals provide a quality dialysis service to people in Chennai and where you can find variety of machines and the dialysers used. If your investment will be less, then try to go with a established hospital. Always keep in your mind, doctors are more business (money) minded than a hard-core business men. They may try to suck everything out from you than supporting you (Sorry to say but it is the truth). In India normally people re-use dialysers. Please find a good vendor of the machines with good service back-up. Trivitron Medical Systems is one such organisation. But ask the supplier of the machines and see that he is handling the same brand atleast for 2 to 3 years.

Liver Dialysis for the first time in the country In continuation with its policy of bringing the best healthcare facilities to the country, Apollo Hospitals Group, Asia�s most trusted healthcare provider, launched a state-of-the-art Liver Unit at Apollo Hospitals, Chennai today. A first-of-its-kind initiative in the country, the Liver Unit will provide treatment facilities for all kinds of liver problems and would have a stand alone Intensive Care Unit. A unique feature of the Liver Unit will be the soon to be installed Liver Dialysis Facility, which will be available for the first time in India. The Liver Unit was dedicated to the people by Dr. Prathap C Reddy � Chairman, Apollo Hospitals Group. The inaugural ceremony was followed by a discussion on Liver diseases in India and the treatment facilities available for the same. The session was attended by Hepatologists from the city and was addressed by specialists from Apollo Hospitals, Chennai and Delhi. Speaking at the occasion, Dr. Prathap C Reddy said, �The newly opened Liver Unit is a very valuable addition to Apollo Hospitals and to Chennai�s healthcare infrastructure. It will offer quality healthcare facilities at a fraction of the international cost and through its Liver Dialysis facility, which will be available for the first time in the country, it will ensure that patients get the benefit of the best international facilities in India itself.� He further added, �Apollo Hospitals has been the pioneer in treatment of Liver diseases and our centre in Delhi, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, has already been providing Liver Transplant facilities for over five years now. Indraprastha Apollo is also the only center in the entire South and Central Asian Region to offer facilities for Live Donor Liver Transplantation.� Apollo Hospital�s Liver Unit will offer several benefits to people. A stand-alone unit, it will have 30 beds, sophisticated equipment for treatment and a fully equipped Intensive Care Unit (ICU). It will have a dedicated protocol for handling cases, ensuring that the treatment process is streamlined. The medical teams will work in close coordination and every week there will be a �Grand Round� by all the key specialists to assess the progress made by each patient. This is aimed at understanding every individual patient�s requirement in the best possible manner and offer instant solutions to facilitate quick recuperation. Another noteworthy feature of the Liver Unit is the soon to be installed Liver Dialysis Facility. To be available for the first time in the country, it will be similar to Renal (Kidney) Dialysis and will help patients with severe liver disease to get stabilized before they undergo surgery. It will also help in de-toxifying any negative agents in the body of the patient. The Unit will gradually increase its service delivery and will also start liver transplant programs soon. It will offer treatment facilities for all kind of liver complications and would be a one-stop-shop for any disease of the liver. The Apollo Hospitals Enterprises Ltd. (AHEL) was formed with the merger of IHCL (Indian Hospitals Corporation Ltd.), DHCL (Deccan Hospitals Corporation Ltd.) and OSHL (Om Sindoor Hotels Ltd.). The enterprise today comprises a network of 39 hospitals, owning and managing over 5,000 hospital beds, 10 primary clinics and over 100 pharmacies, making it the single largest healthcare provider in Asia.
