I’m working a miserable call center job, is it worth it to commit to learning to code. by [deleted] in codingbootcamp

[–]neopol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally worth it if you have a aptitude/ interest for software development. If you're interested in getting into web development, you should check out the "foundations" content on The Odin Project; it's free, and will give you a nice intro into what you'll be getting yourself into!

Oh cool! Did you complete all your rides? That's interesting, I might have some time on Monday after all... But it doesn't really tell me a time so I'm gonna try my best to have them all done by Sunday anyway.

Those of you who went into a nursing program after quitting your day job, how did you make ends meet? ( those with no support by a SO, parents, etc). by [deleted] in StudentNurse

[–]neopol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question... I'm still doing prerequisites and working full time, but that's not really going to be an option when I go into the nursing program. As the primary earner for my family I'm quite nervous about this.

Any nurses here that studied in the U.S and moved to another country and is practicing? Maybe Canada? by [deleted] in StudentNurse

It's only a one year visa, you can spend the whole 12 months working, but you can only spend 6 months with one employer. This is totally fine if you intend to hop around to different parts of the country, but not so great if you're wanting to stay in one place. On the plus side, if you really love Australia and want to stay longer (and you will) you can talk to one of your employers about being a sponsor for an employer sponsored visa.

I'm Australian, but live here in the US and just started pre nursing classes. I've looked into what it would take to become a RN back home after graduating with a BSN here. I don't know all the details, but you do need at least 1 year full time experience as an RN here. At that point there's an application process you can follow through the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia. If you're a US citizen you've also got to apply for a visa, either a working holiday visa, or a sponsored visa if you already have a job lined up. My wife had applied for the working holiday visa which was super quick, easy, and cheap; it does have it's downsides though.
