WORKING IN UAE AS A REGISTERED NURSE

 Working as a registered  in a government hospital here in UAE is financially enough, only until a certain limit of age. When you reach 55-60 years old, a nurse can be considered on the list of those who might be in "ENDO" (which means end of contract). Whether you are still capable of working but to reach this stage means one should be financially ready to go at anytime.  So, this can actually be done if this person is wise enough to just think of nothing else each day but how to save and save and save. If you have this in mind, then it is doable to be financially free by the time you reach your ENDO.  Otherwise, you can still enjoy working abroad when you start planning on your next move and invest for the next country from here.

Breast Cancer Awareness in October

Image
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. Over the years, it has gained prominence around the world and is a very relevant topic in almost anywhere with the disease being highly prevalent in most countries worldwide.

Global studies have shown that women between the age of 20 and 34, with a strong family history of the disease are most susceptible to the disease.

Early detection of breast cancer is key to survival, and if women can be educated to self-check, this will help increase awareness and ultimately save lives.   It is okay to talk about it:  Women with breast cancer find it inappropriate to discuss the disease with their communities because it is still deemed a taboo. It is imperative that we communicate with one...

What is Cancer II Cancer awareness Month

What is Cancer? Cancer is a malignant neoplastic disorder that can involve all body organs with manifestations that vary according to the body system affected and type of tumor cells. Cells lose their normal growth-controlling mechanism, and the growth of cells is uncontrolled. Cancer produces serious health problems such as impaired immune and hematopoietic (blood-producing) function, altered gastrointestinal tract structure and function, motor and sensory deficits, and decresed respiratory function.  Metastasis Cancer cells move from their orginal location to other sites.  Routes of metastasis Local seeding: Distribution of shed cancer cells occurs in the local area of the primary tumor Blood-borne metastasis: Tunor cells enter the blood, which is the most common cause of cancer spread.  Lymphatic spread: Primarys sites rich in lymphatics are more susceptible to early metastatic spread Common sites of Metastasis Bladder Cancer Lung Bone Liver Pelvic, retroperitoneal str...
