I am a single mother of an 8 month old and I would really like to become an RN. I have always been an average student, and I have struggled a bit in Math. I am trying to find the most convent and easiest way for me to be successful in Nursing school. I plan on doing the nursing program at my local community college but I am in no rush. Therefore I was curious if I could take my basics like English and Math and get them out of the way so I wouldn't have to do them when I went to Nursing School?

My dream is to become an RN and it always has been so please keep out of the negativity. Any extra information would be very helpful also, Thank you.

Was sent home from work today, because "Co-workers were complaining of her cough and didnt want to get sick". They told her she couldnt return until the cough had dissipated. Question is: is this legal for the company to do this? Please give sources and i know we all have a tendency to want to be a smart a** , or be funny, but this is someone's job.

I'm an independent film-maker and am making a horror movie and want to know if you can use a movie title that's been already used before, but the movie is different then the one the people have already made using the title. Can I as long as I don't try and copyright it? Or as long as I have a differnent script? Or do I have to change the Name a little bit. The name I was going for was The Bloodshed, there have been a movie called Bloodshed, and The Blood Shed. Could I still use the name since it's a little different, since it doesn't have a space? I would still like to know if you can use it if it's already been takin. And if you came up with a movie title but there is a song with the same title can you still make your film with that title, and would I want to copyright it, and how do I copyright it? Or should I not copyright it? Please Help!!! Thanks!!!

I am trying to find out why it is that housing is so expensive if salaries are not that high. Maybe I'm in the wrong field. If you ask people face to face how much they make, they usually lie.
So,
What do you do?
How much do you make per year?
How long have you been working in this particular job?
Thanks.

I applied to a job that is 2 hours away from where I live and commuting everyday would kill me. I was telling my wife I really need this job because it is a step up from what I am doing and I would be working with the same company. I dont want her to move and leave her job so I suggested I could live in my car for six months just so I could get the training and be able to get a good job when we move out of state next year. She thinks Im crazy but there is no way I can afford to pay for a hotel or a place to live. My work place has a gym, a cafeteria, and showers. I have a sports utility vehicle with enough room to lay out a mattress. I could work, work out at the gym, shower, have dinner, study the new material at the restaurant, brush my teeth, then go to sleep. In the morning I could shower and go to work. I could go home on Friday in the afternoon and go back to work Monday morning. What do you think?

Simple scenario, manager in role, manager told verbally new role starts Monday, when manager asks what choice, told none, take it or we will make you take it!
Manager takes role, old position filled in by team leader and information was that this would remain until new year, then 4 weeks later, new manager appointed, case?

I'm not talking about jobs that are great in pay and you have to be skilled at something to do it. I'm talking about small minumum wage or maybe a little above, no expierence required, anybody should be able to get jobs. I know too many people that have trouble even getting jobs at fast food resturants let alone any other parttime or fulltime customer service job. It's not that their under or over qualified. Or have bad criminal backgrounds. Or have mental or physical disabilties that hold them back. They keep searching for just a job that can put money in the pocket, they appliy at every place that's hiring and nobody hires them. These shouldn't be places that have high standard or qualifications. So what is it that people do wrong that ruins there chances for a job? I just don't understand it sometimes. Is it the way they look or act? Is it something they do on the interview? What could it be?

the standards that people employ in their working life have gone down and there is so much money-grubbing and constant demand for more, more, more for doing less. I'm not saying that work life should be on a volunteer basis, but what is it with the over-valuation of effort people put into their jobs/career?

Do you have a job that at any point in the day you could just stand up and yell "I LOOOOOVE MY JOB"? Or is there a certain profession that you would love to do or that you know someone that loves to do it? If so, what is it and why do you love it so much? If you don't want to give an explanation and want to just tell me your job, that's fine to. I'm just asking your job, not a specific location, name, employer, etc.

I have been working for the same employer for about a year and a half now. Since I began working here, all he has done is made me feel small and unworthy. He insults my hair, my clothes, the fact that I don't wear make up. He even makes jokes about the the province where I grew up. I am absolutely fed up with all of his insults and how he thinks he is better than everyone else. Do you think this is verbal or emotional abuse? because sometimes it sure feels like it......

I worked at a big college with several campuses for about 8 months and had a disagreement with the college curriculum. I got some low-level administrators annoyed with me since they didn't like an upstart giving an opinion and also maybe to cover their unimaginative butts. Then they started to do things to undermine me. When I quit, they all said they were shocked and almost begged me to stay. The college just hired a new President a couple of weeks ago. He gave an introductory speech (which I read) to the college community. He described his 'vision' for the school and it was EXACTLY what I had been recommending. I'm thinking of calling the President's secretary and requesting a meeting, then tell him I'd be great for the place, and take it from there. What do you think? If I do it, how can I discuss the circumstances of my leaving?

I am the middle manager for one of my employees. I didn't hire her nor can I fire her, that's up to my superiors. But she does "answer" to me in the chain of command. Well, every once in a while she will make unfounded complaints about me. She will be nice for a while, but then out of nowhere will complain to the union or to my superior. And her complaints are often about things that I can't control. She would blame me for the weather if she could. Any suggestions?

i was let go due to my "work production", thay also said complains were made but could not tell me what they were so i know what i needed to fix. Also 2 weeks prior to letting me go they told me there was no work for me where i wanted to be, they said if i wanted to look for a job that was totally understandable. Well the next day the manager came to me asking if i made a decision and i said yeah i will look for a new job but i could not leave til i found a new job, since i do have a young child. Well they went on and hired a person who took over where i wanted to work but i didnt say anything because she had a higher degree than me. Well i was doing everthing asked and busting my butt to get the stuff done and 2 weeks after they told me they "didnt need me" they let me go. I got unemployment out of it but it was fight, they looked at it as i did everything i was suppose to but still got fired. So where do i go from here a diff office wants to interview me?????
