Reviving RN Stuff!

Save to Google Bookmarks! When my Nurses Thoughts blog became Google PageRank 3/10, I decided to delete my other nursing blog which is RN Stuff because I was not able to maintain and update it. But when I checked its PageRAnk it is 2/10! I was not that aware that still, RN Stuff has visitors. Even if I almost forgot that I own that one! So what I did was, I revived it. I change the template, make it pleasant to look and easy to navigate. I also invite friends as co authors who are in medical fields as well to write and share their experiences in their respective fields.

As of now, RN Stuff is still having some make over and sooner it will also be one of the blogs you would enjoy visiting!

Treat that Nail Fungus Now!

Did you know that those yellowish to dark color, brittle, dull and warped shape toenails is caused by fungus? And it is called as Onychomycosis or commonly known as Nail Fungus . Fungus, as we know, is a plant that grows in moist area. And nails especially toenails are mostly exposed to warm, moist environment like sweaty shoes that can harbour this fungus. It is not easy to treat Toenail Fungus because it lodges behind the nails. So we need to have an effective remedy like ZetaCLear that can penetrate through for quicker healing.

Colorful Metal Cabinets for my Kitchen

One of my favorite parts in the house is the kitchen because I love cooking a lot. I never consider any dull moments whenever I am in my kitchen. It is where you would always find me enjoying all the time. I always make sure that everything looks good, organized and clean.

Lately, I saw the kitchen of my friend which has a metal cabinets hanged up above the sink and I got an idea of putting something like that on my kitchen. I heard of metal cabinets popularly used these days that would look like a stainless steel or in colors matching the kitchen. And it is a good idea for a strong, lasting, rust-free and easy to clean caninets compared to that traditional wood type. I think I better get one now or else I would not stop thinking about it!

Understanding Yin-Yang

Yin-Yang of Chinese often part in dealing with transcultural nursing. So what is this Yin-yang diet is all about? Yin-Yang is a pair. Yin is a complimentary to Yang and vice versa. Yin repels Yin, Yang repels Yang. One exist with another. Chinese believes that everything in nature has its opposites. In psychology, Yang is the leader and Yin is the follower. In temperature, Yin is cold, Yang is hot. In tendency, Yin is contraction, Yang is constriction.They believe that when someone has a fever (hot), one needs cold for treatment. Anything that comes out from the body is Yin. Anything goes in is Yang. Example, If someone has diarrhea (Yin) you need fluid replacement (Yang). Bringing back things into balance is what Yin-Yang is all about.

Example of Yin Foods: Milk, Alcohol, Honey, Sugar, Oil, Fruit juices, Spices, Stimulants, Most drugs (such as aspirin), Tropical vegetables and fruits.

Example of Yang foods: Poultry, Seafood, Eggs, Meat, Salt, Fish, Cheese.

Yin-Yang diet is often a topic in NCLEX. Understanding diverse culture means providing the right care for our patients.

I am a PayPerPost Blogger

I started blogging not even knowing that I could make money out of it. Until I started to realize the income that I can generate by sharing my views to everyone, and it can only happen at PayPerPost!

When I received an email from them that my blog was approved, I was delighted! My friend gave me the idea that I could make money with my blog and shared the website address of PayPerPost. When I saw how much PayPerPost is paying her, I was envious! So I submitted my blog, waited for the approval, and here I am now doing the very first opportunity from them. Now, I can say that I am one of those “paid bloggers” as they call themselves. PayPerPost never runs out of opportunities. Every now and then there is always new coming. And I can choose which opportunity I want to post in my blog. So if I am just very diligent in posting, then I can make big bucks out of it. And its Christmas time once again, so I have extra money to buy gifts for my family and friends.

I am happy that thru blogging I can share my thoughts to everyone out there, but I am more pleased knowing that I can make money while doing what I really like, which is writing.

Recommended Nursing Sites

Nurses today give so much time and effort in reviewing for the NCLEX-RN. Some enrolled in various review centers while others opted for a self-review. Whatever ways you chooses, it will work the same. It is only a matter of how you assess your capabilities in passing the test.

There are some blogs here which I recommend to visit so that you will have a wide range of knowledge on what this so called NCLEX is all about: Drop by at Nurse review.org for NLE and NCLEX stuff, Nursing Jobs, and some other related articles. Try visiting Philippine Nurse too for similar posts and this blog also has an online quiz to shake your brain cells. Another interesting site is Pinoy R.N. which has an up-to-date nursing news, information and articles, and an online forum for Filipino nurses. Look into Pinoy Nurses Zone for some sample NCLEX Q and A. I have also some materials here for you. Maybe this can give a little help.

Don't just rely on what materials that were given to you. Search the Internet, visit some websites, go to nursing forums to get the latest updates and fresh news about the exam. Be prepared. Answer as many Q and A as you can. Challenge yourself. Strive hard. It will be more rewarding when you finally see that "PASS" result.

It's Time to Make Money while Blogging

When I learned that I can make money with my blog, I got engrossed. I started searching the Internet on how I can join. And at the same time I am thinking if I can meet the expectations of the advertisers or do I have to write something far from my interests?

I discovered Blogsvertise. They pay while you enjoy writing what you like. Yes, you heard me right!

2. The blogger is given 5 days to do the assigned task and with a minimum of only 75 words in atleast 2-3 paragraphs. So it means that you have a lot of time to do the post.

Bridge Amendment Debate Started

New update from Hammond Law Group

Bridge Amendment offered - two actually!

Two different versions of the Bridge amendment – either of which would eliminate retrogression for Schedule A workers – were offered in the Senate over the weekend. Both amendments could be debated this week, perhaps as early as today. If formally passed and attached to the base bill, either amendment would have to be acted on by the House of Representatives, likely through the Conference Committee. After Conference, if the amendment survives, the entire bill would have to be approved by President Bush. Still, the mere offering of the amendments is a significant step in the legislative process, and significantly raises the chances of ending the retrogression of Schedule A workers [...]

The first, SA 3404 to HR 3043, seeks to amend the forthcoming Labor Health and Human Services appropriations bill, by recapturing 61,000 unused visas for Schedule A workers and their derivative family members. SA 3404 is co-sponsored by long-time champions Sen. Schumer (D-NY) and Sen. Hutchison (R-TX).

The second, SA 3442, is also offered as an amendment to HR 3403. SA 3442 is a much more comprehensive amendment that seeks to recapture visas for not just Schedule A workers and their derivative family members, but also for conventional EB workers.

The purpose of offering two amendments is to hedge the bets of the champions. We'll know shortly if their strategy works. Debate on the two amendments could start as soon as today, so stay tuned to the blog and CSPAN2.
