Driving

Most of my posts on instagram show me driving. So someone slid into my dms asking me about the traffic laws and stuff.

Here are some rules I’ve figured out so far.


On the highway, the most important law is “go with the flow of traffic”. Everyone can’t be going at 60mph and you’re driving at 20mph, you will be pulled over by the cops.
On 3 or 4 lane highways, the lane on the left is reserved for passing (overtaking), you cannot drive slow on that lane.
Similarily, the lane on the right is for slower driving cars
If you notice people slowing down, slow down too. Chances are there’s a cop hidden somewhere waiting to pull you over.

Concerning your education stuff, if you feel starting again is too much stress for you, you could try out IT. Most especially software development. There are various coding bootcamps available over there.
Just a suggestion if you have any interest in IT and starting again would be stressful.

NYPD:


In the united states if you get pulled over by the police. Keep your hands in the steering wheel and wait for the police officer to get to you wothout moving. Any sudden movement would make the officer think you are about to pull out a gun or attack him.

Oh ok! This information is helpful. I have been wondering what to do in such a situation. Thanks.

Nice approach FrankNetter. Don't let it bother you. Most of the credits received in Nigeria for just about all majors are not accepted here. The education system in Nigeria is a joke! I have spoken to some so called computer science graduates from Naija univ, and they have never written a line of code. How in the world can that be possible! Computer programming is all about coding for God's sake!

I looked at the course outline for nursing, it included anatomy and physiology 1 and 2. I asked if I could take a placement test for those at least, to take some credits, she declined. Even my GSTs from my first year in school, philosophy and logic, civic education etc etc, she said they can’t accept any of them.

I thanked her for her time, stood up and while walking out it dawned on me, I had wasted 6years of my life, studying in that school for nothing.

But then again, I understand the theory of time zones. I will start afresh, but not in Chicago state university. I will graduate when I graduate.




Exactly bro. I just weak right now

This is an option. However, as you said, he has to like programming. Software Dev. is not like most other courses. Solving problems takes a lot of time, and it's not everyone that has the patience to sit down coding for hours (or even days), to try to figure out why something is not working.

He should just start afresh, not starting at all is backward. Time flies! Nigerian education system is dead.

Same education where people apply for jobs and get it in UK, US and Canada? Don't make people lose hope bro. If it's dead how do our graduates get admission to read masters in US?

Frank if you are a fan of animations and you ever wanna change career path, you might want to consider 3D Animation. My nephew who studied 3D Animation for a duration of three years only at NYFA is having a fantastic and an exciting time working at Warner Bros Animation studios in California + he's raking in them Benjamins

Tell Frank to ask the admissions advisor that. They are managing us, buddy.

Apply to other schools bro. Apply until you find one that will take all or some of your credits.

I don't believe the notion Nigerian degrees and/or certificates are useless. if you know what you're made of and you are certain that you ain't "half-baked" regarding your educational background, fu.cck what the adviser said and apply to other schools till one takes all or some of your credits.

all dem pikins for here, wetin dem sabi? besides, school wil want you to take the credits again cos na still money you go pay

NIGERIAN DEGREE AND OR CERTIFICATES AINT USELESS AS LONG AS IT IS ACCREDITED

I will suggest you round up your program in Nigeria then sit for the medical exams required to practice in the US afterwards. This should be a faster option for you. I have some friends that went through this route and succeeded.

I think its kinda too late to give him that advice

Frank....you could hace applied in a community college for your RN and get on the spot admission. Thats what my guy did and now he is doing RN to BSN online after raking in some mega money as an RN. Time no de wait for anyone

yeAh, I wanted to suggest that too. It’s actually the best option, and starting with nursing assistant CNA (about 6 credits) is the easiest route. After RN, he can consider an Msc or dive straight to medical school.

Round up what program? The medical program where every 2 weeks one union would go on strike? If it’s not johesu today, it would be NMA tomorrow or ASUU or nassu or some union nobody knows about. Coupled with the millions of uncertainty in Nigeria? Abeg I’ll pass. I’ve thought about this and there’s lots of the reasons why I didn’t go back to finish up and I’ve pointed that out countless times. Firstly, I don’t know my date of graduation even when I never failed one exam throughout my schooling. Secondly, the educational (accreditation and all) issues gave me so much heartache and I was so glad I left. Furthermore, over here in the USA, I can be working and schooling, I don’t have to worry about trivial stuff like when Nepa go bring light or money to buy fuel for gen or whether I would get robbed when I go for night class. plus, I’m already on my path to citizenship which, to me, is worth more than any educational degree I would get in Nigeria, that citizenship would cement my future generations bro; my kids wouldn’t have to deal with all the stuff I and my family went through in Nigeria. As na yankee I Dey like this, I will go to school, I will get a degree and I will make more money than my family can spend. That’s a certainty.

That’s my plan bro. My vexation now is that I waited for almost two years for a transcript that’s totally useless. My younger ones are rounding up their programs already (Pre-Pharm and Pre-Med).

I’m not wasting any more time, I’m currently in the process of enrolling in Prairie state college which is close to my house. I’m taking the English placement test this weekend and math placement next two weeks (I need to prepare). I’m also looking to channel this energy and enroll in GED so I won’t deal with this whole Nigerian-transfer-credit brouhaha.
**For those who don’t know, the GED certificate is equivalent to GCE for high school dropouts.

Yeah, although the RN is an associate degree of 2 yrs. He can then do his BSN and then move over for his Nursing Practitioner which is the shangrila of nursing in the US.

Chaii...if you knew sef you would have atleast started on an LPN license at least within this one year. But whats your final plan? Nursing or Medical School?

Good suggestion. ! Bro pls where and how can I start learning coding in Nigeria?

hiawathia1981:


Im not the OP but I can answer some of your questions. Both professions are compensated well. In fact most medical professions are compensated well here. But there are some differences. Nursing is more physically demanding and you will spend more hands on time with patients. Pharmacy here is mostly fulfilling and dispensing medications. There is hardly direct patient contact. Pharmacists require more education and passing of rigourous exams than nursing.

Hi@hiawathia, I also wanted to ask similar questions.

I have been doing some research into probable courses for nigerian student to do in usa. My background has been School- science (statistics), work -Logistics/hse but I want to change careers and move to health fields as I heard it is more lucrative in the USA.
Which of these programs could you profeer advise as easier for a non-medical student to do - medical diagnostic sonography or health care administration ? Is it really better to do the CNA program first and can you do it on a visit visa or you need a F1 visa for it (since it is less than 1 year)? How easy is it to get work after studies and possibility of green card through this route?

Any other information would be appreciated. I have also sent you a PM, pls kindly respond. Thanks.

First know what language(s) you wanna learn.

YouTube is a very good resource for learning.
W3schools, udemy, lynda, etc are few of the ones I know.

Also look at Andela nigeria.

Javascript and Python.

okay I will find out.

NIIT
AppTech
New Horizon
they have offices across Nigeria.
Then use w3cschools to learn online, and watch YouTube videos too

Hi, so sonography or ultrasound as it is known here can be lucrative but it requires getting accepted into an ultrasound program. Those programs are very competive. Additionally ultrasound requires the passing of stringent board examinations, continuing education, and the maintaining of a license to practice. Also new ultrasound techs usually work odd hours and require on call. Which means when u are off the clock you are really not. Have you been able to see what ultrasound consists of? If u can I recommend that first. Health care administration can be lucrative for other reasons. It is generally more of a management position and consists of responsibilities such as making decisions and making sure things are running smoothly. Basically one is direct patient care and the other is not.
As far as the visa questions, i dont know.

I didnt see a PM, but just post your questions here. Between all of us, someone should know the answer. And it will be a resource for others

Whatever you do, make sure you do NOT pay anyone to learn programming. All the resources you need are available online for free.
