Life’s Lessons

I don’t read that much lately. Thanks to my busy days; almost everyday of the week is occupied. There are times when I squeeze in time to sit on the sofa reading my fave magazines. Yes, it’s only magazines lately because I haven’t bought books for years. My collection of books was borrowed by a friend and it never found its way back to me. Since then I have never got a book for myself. There’s a self-help book now that I want to buy. Or maybe it is better to rent it but there’s nowhere here to Rent books. Stores that offer Book rental are hard to find in this part of the planet. If you want to read a book, it’s either you buy it or borrow it from a friend.

Glad I found booksfree.com where I can rent books and keep those as long as I want so I can take my time reading. Hence I don’t need to worry about late fees because that’s always my problem, that of beating due dates. I might not return the books on time and I will definitely be paying for late fees. There’s even an Audio books on cd at booksfree.com! An audio book will work better for me because I can just listen to it while I am doing something and I won’t be straining my eyes from reading a book from cover to cover. There’s also children’s books to rent and my niece Ella will definitely love it! What more? Mailing is free so I don’t have to shell out bucks to get and return the books. Isn’t that awesome? If you’re a bookworm, go check the site now and dig into the various book collection that you can rent out. I am sure you will love it!

A HS friend who is an agriculturist finished his second course in Nursing abroad. Quite weird, right? Ever since Nurses became an in demand profession abroad, people have been taking a second course in Nursing, hoping to easily land a job in greener pasture. But nursing will take years to finish. While others are willing to wait for years, some opted for the shorter course on Nursing Assistant and become a certified nursing assistant in a few years. I wasn’t aware about CNA until such time when I had difficulty finding a registered Nurse for my former company’s clinic. My boss then suggested I’d better hire a Certified Nurse Assistant and in no time, the vacancy was filled up. My nurse aide underwent a cna training in one of the schools in the city. Of course, she paid for the training. If only she got her training from CNABoard, it might have been FREE! Anyway, better luck to others who wanted to become a nurse’ aide.

School year just started at least to some academic institutions in this part of the globe. One blogger chum’s daughter is entering college and getting a nursing degree. Many of our young generation now are going to nursing schools, not to mention that even the professionals are taking a second course in nursing. Well, maybe it’s because of the high possibility of going abroad to work because nurses are in demand in other countries.

With the growing demand of nurses abroad, nursing schools are popping out like mushrooms! Even my alma mater that is known to provide quality graduates in the field of Agriculture, Veterinary Medicine and other courses, opened a college of Nursing! That gave me a big shock! Since Nursing students are growing in number, one booming business is sewing and selling medical scrubs and uniforms. Somebody in this business must be making huge money on it. Imagine the huge market of nursing students around the country? It must be a big hit! Selling nurses shoes is also a big hit. If only I know how to sew or I know someone who makes nursing uniforms, I might consider getting into business of supplying nursing schools with scrubs and uniforms for their students. Nice business idea, right?
