I pay $40 for simple mobile with 250mb. Free International text message incusive.
Are you using BB? Is the 250MB enough for a month? I was using Simple Mobile when i first got here but paying $50 for 2G including free international text. I switch to Tmobile when my phone crash and bought another BB from Tmobile. I couldn't get on contract because i don't have any credit yet. So i paid the full payment of the phone.

Try Lycamobile, I thinks its cheaper & better, also runs on the same network with Simplemobile plus gives you cheap rates to Naija... Check it out.
I used it in UK & now here too.

Medical assistant will take you 7mths plus and you may need to pass the state exam before you can be employ, if you really need a short course go for CPR/AED it is just a day to two days training and you can get a job in one of those Homes around, you can also crown it up with Medication administration training it is just 5 days training.

Thanks for your response @ adesoji,pls my questions still remain. My waec certificate has a wrong DOB instead of september 17,they typed November 17, which I had only 3 credits there and my neco result has 6 credit.My question now is that can I go with that wace certificate or I should go with Neco certificate only? In my form I submitted to kcc I wrote both waec and neco,if I then go with neco alone won't they ask for the waec certificate,I hope that will not disqualify me? Secondly,I hope laminated document are acceptable at the interview? Thirdly,my national population birth certificate has recent date,I hope that is not a problem too? Thanks.

You can go with NECO ok, I used Neco for my interview but I will advice you to go with the WAEC too but present the NECO for them..cheers

Just like ojisalara said, go with the two present your NECO certificate and you may do an affidavit to correct the DOB, but if they don't ask for it to present it.

pator: Pls guys what happen when someone misses his flight. What are the likely alternative available?

Did you miss your flight? If yes, all i can say as an aviator, is to call the airline or visit their office.
Likely alternative? Your class of ticket will determine what action would be taken.

For those in Houston, there are a lot of Nigerian professional (non medical field) that offers training in various areas. Try and talk to people in the local community and the good one among them will point you in the right direction.

I just relocated to Houston about a month ago and i have met more than 3 Nigerians that offer training in SAP, EMD and project management.
