[B278]Becoming A Permanent Resident

by Kadence Buchanan, Kad

First of all, ask yourself why do you want to get into nursing? If you just graduated and thought that entering the profession you have been admiring since you were a kid, then it is best if you can find other supporting arguments for your decision. The reason we are stating this, is that nursing takes a great amount of dedication and personal devotion to a cause and it should not be considered just another profession. Thus, thorough research needs to be done, before the decision is made to embark upon a nursing career.

In today's information age, technology and knowledge proliferation have assisted the efforts of those who need more information to base their decision upon. From getting into nursing school, studying for and passing boards, getting into new graduate employment programs, summer exploratory programs, etc., the World Wide Web and the local libraries, can provide all the necessary data for further review. But, for examining whether or not you would like practicing the traditional nursing work, like bedside nursing in a hospital or long term care facility known as a nursing home, it is really important for you to gain the necessary practice that will let you embark with a clear conscious.

Entering a volunteer nursing clinical rotation program, examining the different requirement when one is involved in practical nursing research and is trying to collect data, writing papers on current issues, among many other practical experiences, can assist an interested individual to examine the specifics of a profession that has greatly evolved over the years. Having a science background and having laboratory experience can for example be the necessary prerequisite steps for one to decide to go into the nursing research discipline and for it to become a natural progression.

But you should also be informed that it takes approximately 5-6 years of med-surg hospital experience, before an employer would be able to ask you to join his team. This is an example on why you should do your own homework. Thus, upon completing your nursing degree, you have to invest time to search the career options of your discipline published over the Internet and you should enlist yourself in a network of friends and ex-nursing students so as to keep yourself available and learn any nurse employment opportunity. Keep in mind that there are simple, invaluable, economically efficient ways to thoroughly research nursing as a profession. Of course, nothing can substitute for the actual on the job experience. But if you are not there yet, and you want to investigate the field to check if you want to get there, then it is best if you do whatever you can to understand that as soon as possible and not be sorry for your mistook choice later down the road.

Depending on one's level of commitment this can include not using certain medicines because they are tested for safety on animals. A Vegan will not buy or use animal products whether that's a steak, an egg, bread with milk in it or leather shoes. The overall goal of veganism is to reduce animal suffering, environmental damage, hunger in the developing world and risks to our own health. Veganism takes all those advantages just a little further. For very many people concerned about any or all of these problems, it seems the natural step to take from vegetarianism.

Why do people choose to become Vegan?

Animal Welfare - Despite the common belief that drinking milk or eating eggs does not kill animals, commercially raised dairy cows and egg-laying chickens, whether factory-farmed or ?free range,? are slaughtered when their production rates decline, not to mention the appalling conditions to which they are kept. There is an ongoing debate on the finer points of what constitutes an animal product; The Vegan Society and most vegans include insect products such as honey in their definition as well.

The environment - Animal agriculture takes a devastating toll on the earth. It is an inefficient way of producing food, since feed for farm animals requires land, water, fertilizer, and other resources that could otherwise have been used directly for producing human food.

Health - The consumption of animal fats and proteins has been linked to heart disease, colon and lung cancer, osteoporosis, diabetes, kidney disease, hypertension, obesity, and a number of other debilitating conditions. Cows? milk contains ideal amounts of fat and protein for young calves, but far too much for humans. According to Gill Langley, a Ph.D. in biology and author of Vegan Nutrition, "it is clear from the example of many thousands of vegans worldwide that a varied plant-based diet not only supports health and well-being but, additionally, can have positive health benefits" (Langley 1995). A vegan diet is protective against such major killers as heart disease and cancer.

Eating fewer animal products is a good choice for the environment and your conscious. Animal agriculture produces surprisingly large amounts of air and water pollution, and causes 80 percent of the world's annual deforestation. It also requires large amounts of water, and livestock worldwide consumes half the world's total grain harvest.

How Do I Know it's Vegan?

You will need to examine the packaging and labelling carefully of all non registered products to ensure that you avoid animal by-products such as gelatin and rennet which can be found in everyday items such as children's sweets.
