Entrance Requirements for Silliman Uni in the philippines

Entrance Requirements for Silliman Uni in the philippines?
I've been out of high school for several years, as well as out of the USA for a year. I would like to attend Silliman University in the Philippines and have requested information from them already... I've been trying to find out more information on how they would deal with a case like mine ie: out of HS for several years, out of USA and living/working abroad in Europe. When I looked at their admission page it was entirely geared towards Philippine citizens and not internationals, though I know they do except them. Anyone know anything more about their entrance exams, in particular for the nursing program? And how to go about taking them from my current residence of Germany? I did attend massage school between high school and now, so I do have some further education from an accredited american school...is it possible to send the grades from that accredited school in place of HS, since they are more current and up to date? Sorry for the long post! any information would be appreciate! Thanks! Cat

Can I work as a RN in the US? (info below)

Can I work as a RN in the US? (info below)?
okay, this one is kinda tricky I guess. I am a registered midwife in germany (during my education I had to work in various fields) but unfortunatly we don't get a bachelor or anything similar. However I did a distance education programm and earned a bachelor in nursing, though I did not need to do any practical experience (which I have anyways because of my job). My question is wether I can work as a registered nurse in the US? What kind of policy do I need to do (despite visa and stuff)?

pick a state & contact its Board of Nursing. each state governs it's RNs.

It's iffy. They may say no because you haven't had to do the clinicals that pertain to RN. The issue is also that some states will allow you to be a midwife without having any nursing training. Then you can be a midwife that is a LPN. Also, can you work as a nurse in Germany? I think that would be the largest obstacle. The state will probably look at what your previous experience is in. Do you have experience with medicine? Do you have some sort of pharmacology background? Do you have training with IVs? Can you administer an IV? Can you administer medication? Then, you'll have to pass an exam to become licensed. Every state has their own licensing board too to make it more frustrating.

Can someone give me some information about the NROTC scholarship

Can someone give me some information about the NROTC scholarship?
From what I understand this scholarship gives you up to $180,000 in money for your education in any field but then it says "Upon receiving a bachelor degree, you will be commissioned as an Ensign (0-1) in the United States Navy" and "Can apply for Navy or Nurse Corps (must major in a nursing degree program leading to a BSN)". Can someone explain what an Ensign is. Do they have much freedom as in ability to do things? How long do you have to stay with the navy if you get this scholarship? Is the navy a good career, like can you be stationed cool places like Germany? I am also thinking of majoring in dental hygiene, would this scholarship be a good option for me? Thanks. I am so confused right now.

do you think you can, sum this up. like into a summery (: please, and thank you

do you think you can, sum this up. like into a summery (: please, and thank you.?
NORTH MIAMI BEACH, Fla. - In the beginning, there was a boy, a girl and an apple. ADVERTISEMENT He was a teenager in a death camp in Nazi-controlled Germany. She was a bit younger, living free in the village, her family posing as Christians. Their eyes met through a barbed-wire fence and she wondered what she could do for this handsome young man. She was carrying apples, and decided to throw one over the fence. He caught it and ran away toward the barracks. And so it began. As they tell it, they returned the following day and she tossed an apple again. And each day after that, for months, the routine continued. She threw, he caught, and both scurried away. They never knew one another's name, never uttered a single word, so fearful they'd be spotted by a guard. Until one day he came to the fence and told her he wouldn't be back. "I won't see you anymore," she said. "Right, right. Don't come around anymore," he answered. And so their brief and innocent tryst came to an end. Or so they thought. ___ Before he was shipped off to a death camp, before the girl with the apples appeared, Herman Rosenblat's life had already changed forever. His family had been forced from their home into a ghetto. His father fell ill with typhus. They smuggled a doctor in, but there was little he could do to help. The man knew what was coming. He summoned his youngest son. "If you ever get out of this war," Rosenblat remembers him saying, "don't carry a grudge in your heart and tolerate everybody." Two days later, the father was dead. Herman was just 12. The family was moved again, this time to a ghetto where he shared a single room with his mother, three brothers, uncle, aunt and four cousins. He and his brothers got working papers and he got a factory job painting stretchers for the Germans. Eventually, the ghetto was dissolved. As the Poles were ushered out, two lines formed. In one, those with working papers, including Rosenblat and his brothers. In the other, everyone else, including the boys' mother. Rosenblat went over to his mother. "I want to be with you," he cried. She spoke harshly to him and one of his brothers pulled him away. His heart was broken. "I was destroyed," Rosenblat remembers. It was the last time he would ever see her. ___ It was in Schlieben, Germany, that Rosenblat and the girl he later called his angel would meet. Roma Radziki worked on a nearby farm and the boy caught her eye. And bringing him food — apples, mostly, but bread, too — became part of her routine. "Every day," she says, "every day I went." Rosenblat says he would secretly eat the apples and never mentioned a word of it to anyone else for fear word would spread and he'd be punished or even killed. When Rosenblat learned he would be moved again — this time to Theresienstadt, in what is now the Czech Republic — he told the girl he would not return. Not long after, the Russians rolled in on a tank and liberated Rosenblat's camp. The war was over. She went to nursing school in Israel. He went to London and learned to be an electrician. Their daily ritual faded from their minds. "I forgot," she says. "I forgot about her, too," he recalls. Rosenblat eventually moved to New York. He was running a television repair shop when a friend phoned him one Sunday afternoon and said he wanted to fix him up with a girl. Rosenblat was unenthusiastic: He didn't like blind dates, he told his friend. He didn't know what she would look like. But finally, he relented. It went well enough. She was Polish and easygoing. Conversation flowed, and eventually talk turned to their wartime experiences. Rosenblat recited the litany of camps he had been in, and Radziki's ears perked up. She had been in Schlieben, too, hiding from the Nazis. She spoke of a boy she would visit, of the apples she would bring, how he was sent away. And then, the words that would change their lives forever: "That was me," he said. Rosenblat knew he could never leave this woman again. He proposed marriage that very night. She thought he was crazy. Two months later she said yes. In 1958, they were married at a synagogue in the Bronx — a world away from their sorrows, more than a decade after they had thought they were separated forever. ___ It all seems too remarkable to be believed. Rosenblat insists it is all true. Even after their engagement, the couple kept the story mostly to themselves, telling only those closest to them. Herman says it's because they met at a point in his life he'd rather forget. But eventually, he said, he felt the need to share it with others. Now, the Rosenblats' story has inspired a children's book, "Angel Girl." And eventually, there are plans to turn it into a film, "The Flower of the Fence." Herman expects to publish his memoirs next year. Michael Berenbaum, a distinguished Holocaust scholar who has authored a dozen books, has read Rosenblatt's memoir

During the Holocaust a young girl and boy lived close by each other and saw each other everyday, they both were working. The young girl would always be carrying apples around, one day she said that she was leaving and was not going to see him anymore, little did she know she was wrong. The boy then was moved to live in the Ghetto while his father became ill. His father died and him,his little sister, and his mother were forced to live in the ghetto. Later he was moved back close to where he used to live, then he saw the girl. They later grew up and got married. Hope that helped, Yazi

What you need to put into a summary is all the salient facts, such as names, places, dates and important events. This kind of homework is designed to teach you important skills like reading and critical/analytical reading. You need to do it yourself.
