| What is an Licensed Vocational Nurse? |
| Monday |

Vocational Nursing is a respected, rewarding career that allows you to help people each and every day while you earn a great living. Licensed practical nurses (LPNs), or licensed vocational nurses (LVNs), care for the sick, injured, convalescent, and disabled under the direction of physicians and more highly trained nurses. It's a career that offers opportunities with high demand for qualified nurses in hospitals, doctors' offices, clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and emergency medical centers, schools, colleges, home health agencies and convalescent homes. About 28 percent of LVNs worked in hospitals, 26 percent in nursing care facilities, and another 12 percent in offices of physicians. Others worked for home healthcare services, employment services, community care facilities for the elderly, public and private educational services, outpatient care centers, and Federal, State, and local government agencies; about 1 in 5 worked part time. It's also a great first step for those considering further advancement in nursing or the medical profession.

| Moving Away Tips |
| Sunday |

Hello My Big Figgers :) Recently I have moved away from my parents' house. Even though it was not as painful as people has made it sound, I am going to share some moving-away tips for ya. I moved in to an apartment so I will write about that. Pick apartment in a quiet area if you're a student and need calm environment. Good way to rate an area is by spending some time hanging around it. One thing that annoys me, personally, is a barking dog, especially a high pitch barking dog. Save money- have at least two months rent saved up and extra money for deposits and such. Your bills for the first month will be higher than usual because of deposits for new accounts. There are deposits for the electric and gas companies. It’s up to you if you want to get cable or some other services, they might charge an initiation fee as well. Before you sign the contract make sure to check all faucets that might make noise and watch out for doors that might not lock There are other things to watch out for such as holes in walls (you'll get charged for them when you move out), make sure to let your landlord know of any damages before you move in.These are just some of the things I've noticed to be important but you should always keep your eyes open :) Your,  Labels: apartment, apartment hunting, moving away tips |

| Why it's difficult to find a good paying job in USA |
| Saturday |
Joe Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE INJAPAN) for 6am.
While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG).
He put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA ), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE ) and tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA ).
After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet(MADE IN INDIA ) he sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO ) to see how much he could spend today.
After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA) he got in his car (MADE IN GERMANY) filled it with GAS from Saudi Arabia and continued his search for a good paying American JOB.
At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day checking his Computer (Made In Malaysia), Joe decided to relax for a while.
He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL) poured himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE) and turned on his TV(MADE IN INDONESIA), and then wondered why he can't find a good paying job in USA.

| How to plan for & what to expect ... |
| Monday |
Figs,
Maybe it's your first time, or maybe you have done it many times before, or maybe each time you just don't enjoy the experience.
What to do? What can be done to make it a more pleasurable experience?
What in the world am I talking about? International Travel!
OK ... so now that the suspense is deflated and the drama is over, let me give you some Big Fig pieces of advice on "How to plan for & what to expect on your next International flight". Actually, these tidbits apply to any flight that is over a few hours long ... or, for that matter, for any flight which lasts longer than your attention span can handle!
Airlines will often provide some sort of in-flight entertainment -- especially on international flights (e.g. a movie, some magazines to read, and other mind-sapping activities). The most important things to remember on a long flight is planning your own activities since you may not be the least bit interested in the movie or magazines that the airlines have provided for your entertainment for the next 12 hours (yes, that is about the average time for international flights from the US to Asia, the EU, and abroad).
Time management: Perhaps you have some homework to do? Or, you are working on a project for your internship, or you have to pay bills for the past month? I could go on with the possibilities -- but, my intent here is to demonstrate that if you have detailed a short list of things you want to get done on the flight, the time will pass more pleasantly!
Focus on catching up in your Chemistry course (or whatever course is your tough course this semester). Read the last two chapters of that novel you've been meaning to finish for the past three months. Read a chapter, take a nap, and then read another chapter ... then save the worst for last: Chemistry Homework. Point is, have a plan for your flight. The longer the flight, the more you'll need to plan. One note of caution here: Don't bring 3 text books from school thinking you'll get 12 hours of homework done on a twelve hour flight. This is a bad idea for two reasons. First, you don't want to carry 50lbs of books on your back through the airport ... and second, on most flights you'll probably gaze out the window a lot and catch up on some zzz's too. So, a rule of thumb is that for a flight that lasts for 6 hours, bring about 3-4 hours of work to do. A twelve hour flight, bring ~6-8 hours of work.
As long as you have some stuff to do to pass the time, you'll have a much more enjoyable flight.
So, bring a small list of personal things to catch up on. Start with your list of things to do, then catch a catnap, and then when you wake up -- if you have still not arrived -- perhaps you can break down and watch that in-flight movie which is playing for the third time since you took off.
Planning your time for your next international flight is just as important as planning what you will do and where you will go when you arrive.
Enjoy your flight.

| Part time job for students-how to work on a commission basis by telephone |
| Sunday |

The telephone is truly a remarkable invention. It is probably the world's greatest time-saver. By realizing its capabilities and potential, the efficient use of this little device can help assist anyone in operating a profitable business.All that is required are knowledge, persistence, patience and of course, a telephone.Previous experience in the use of a phone for business purposes is helpful but not necessary. There are no age limits for starting such a business. Sex or race is not a barrier. Locationis unimportant, as long as you have a phone. Your home can be your "office" if you wish and you are your own boss. And in most instances, you can name your own working hours.Using a telephone to earn money by working on a commission basis can be profitable. However, a firm agreement must be reached in advance to the exact amount of commission you can expect -based either on a percentage basis or flat fee. To advertise any of services use newspaper classified ads and/ or notice placed on bulletin boards throughout your community. There are dozens of other ways to make money with a telephone. Study theYellow Pages of your local directory...and let your imagination run wild! -When speaking on the phone, always be courteous. -Since the person you are talking to cannot see your face or read your lips, always speak slowly and clearly. -Make calls as brief as possible, but don't appear "abrupt". -Never allow your voice to show disappointment in not obtaining an order. Your prospective customer may be pleased with your initial call and think of you the next time he may be in need of your services.
