THE FLIP SIDE OF COVID-19

Technology and modern world is the reality. An advancement of technology in all industries had made whole world become a global village and changed order of the world much better than earlier. Conversely, the impact of new technology in modern era and human attitude are disrespect to the nature as a result of detrimental effects on environment and opens the door to welcome much more deadly diseases to this planet. COVID-19 is a new entry to this earth, disturbed total phenomena of the world. This blog is an attempts to explain that how this pandemic affects every spheres of lives over the surface of the ground.
Family, pat on the shoulder, is the psychology of everyone. This is the place to share love, to show affections and to develop intimate emotional bond among members of the family. Indeed, traditional Indian family has discrimination in relation to share of household work between both genders. Since, women are multifaceted, It’s quite obvious that working women in family carry out the tasks such as; cooking, cleaning the house, washing of clothes, vessels, and nurturing the children. At present scenario, the dominated male gender developed humane to accept role changes as conspicuous evidence in adaption of females’ task in the family.
We live in society is child-centered. Most of both working parents schedule depends upon their children. In spite, parents are not having a lavish time to spend with their kids as the children are fragile, agile, vulnerable, and needs more parenting attention. The new pandemic episode had made the children in family to feel very much contented that having of their parents is the peer members for their play. In addition, old age people grasped concern of young adults in the mean of consideration, entertainment, and involving them in decision making; these are the efforts to annihilate the senility of aged.
Monotonous work scheme had made fed up of human mind. Instead, to escape from routine plan at job site, everyone forced to find new style to accomplish duty with maximum comfort level. Thus,invent of machines by technological advancement in work place decreases drudgery of people. Nowadays, in fact, telecommunicating is the reality for the progressive nation, made easy to complete herculean task. For instance, during lockdown, the telecommunication attracts the world for smooth running of their business firm to alien land in the form communicating to distant land population in the absence of themselves. Besides, there are some industries solely requires physical presence for their better outreach. Hence, the real lockdown is the sensible only to them.
Next, “To whom all in the west are fatty cats” is the latest trend as the result of Yuppie culture in the west side of the world. The impact of Yuppie culture (purposeless shopping) had made significant changes in the savings of people over the world. This crisis reminds people, the importance of savings to lead basic lives and for the posterity. In addition, a grand family functions, festivals, and celebrations are spent in very little money in the form of simplicity.
Over population and revolution in the automobile industry made more vehicles and traffics in the outskirts. Therefore, environmental hazards and global issues such as; water contamination, air pollution, damage of the ozone layer, green house effects, deforestation, desertification,destroying of arable land, global warming, complete destruction of fossil oil, and needs to find different energy sources are given crucial importance to find the immediate solution. This complete lockdown considerably reduces the environmental pollution and found fewervehicles in the subway of the city. In addition, physical activities of public are improvedtremendously by walking or riding bicycle to complete their routine task in the mean of activity of daily living.
Every nation had their own rules for the progression of the country and welfare of their citizen. The responsibility of conscientious citizen is to abide the rules and etiquette of the nation. Disrespect to the government norms is offense and the evil effects are inevitable. To cite on an example, In fact, people in the developed nations of the word, the USA and the Italy, are not given substantial importance to maintain social distance during the latest pandemic attack. Thus, increases the victims and the death rates are steeply in the increases.
This world is meant for all living beings in flora and fauna and every species on earth have equal rights to live. Cruelty on wild animal is robbing of their freedom and against animal rights. Displeasing behavior towards species obsoletes its breeding and exterminates many species from this planet. At the movement, “Stay home and safe at home” is the slogan for human beings, created by the powerful nature. Instead of this, many wild animals take over the streets of human beings around world. For example, wild boar in Haifa, Israel takes over on the roads as the residence stuck indoors.
The purpose of money is to serve for the needy people. Humanity, helping to others, is the big assets of human beings. World shutdown, brings down the global economy and brings out the characters of humankind known as; kindness, sharing, love, affection, sympathy, trust, genuineness and empathy. These are the qualities had made people to offer sums of currency to the government pandemic relief, many volunteers from Non-governmental organization helped the poorer in the form of providing food, drugs, and make arrangement to lead their daily lives.
Overall, nature of the world taught us a very big lesson that how to lead our lives in simple way, importance of growing up with mother’s nature. Since, it is the responsibility of everyone to handover the beautiful earth with precious resources to the posterity. Therefore, respecting to the nature is the only idea to taste the spice of the world forever.

EXPLORE GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES IN NURSING

Nurses figure among the long term shortage skill list in many of the developed countries such as Canada, USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman etc. Demand for nurses will continue to increase dramatically within next few years.

Benefits of studying nursing........
The main advantage is job scope. The health care industry is a booming one, showing no signs of slowing down. That has how the nursing field been developing in the past few decades.
When it comes to job oriented courses after 12th science, nursing really stands out which was highly emphasized in the previous blog.

If you want to make a difference in global health, there are multiple global health opportunities for you; it's a matter of finding a match for your clinical skills, academic credentials, personal and family limitations, time commitment, and state of health.

It all depends on the aptitude of the student.

The best thing is that nursing degree can help you work abroad!
Yes, you read it right! Nursing is one such profession that can help you emigrate abroad and work there. Let me explain it to you in detail. Developed countries like Canada, USA, Ireland, New Zealand and Australia have been facing shortage, when it comes to qualified nurses. The number of nurse graduates in these countries is quite less than the actual demand of nurses.
At the same time, healthcare is a sector that these developed countries takes up seriously. In a bid to bridge the gap of demand and supply in case of qualified nurses, they have opened doors for qualified nurses from countries like India!
In case of countries like Australia and New Zealand, they have relaxed the emigration process in case of nurses! Nurses are even allowed to bring with them their family members and spouse also! Visa processing in case of nursing professionals is given priority!
The salary is the best part when it comes to working as a nurse abroad. I can say that they very well know the worth of a qualified nurse!
Compensation, pay packs and perks are much attractive in case of nurses working abroad. Foreign exchange rates play a big role. Nurses working in countries like develop countries can earn as much as 40-50 Lakhs INR a year!
Similar are the figures in case of countries like UK, Middle Eastern nations and New Zealand! Benefits of working in the Middle East are Tax-free salaries, free accommodation, Free flights, generous annual leave, and free medical care and depending on the level and grade of your position, the contract may also include these benefits for your family.


How to become a RN (Registered Nurse) abroad?
The beginning is to complete graduation in nursing. One may go for B Sc (can follow it up with an M Sc) in nursing or go for Diploma courses associated with nursing. Even male students can take up these courses!

To work abroad, an Indian nurse has to successfully complete the ‘bridging program’ or the ‘adaptation program’ of that particular country abroad. This has to be followed by registering as a nurse in that country via the Nursing Registration Council.

An adaptation/bridging course is nothing, but a sort of assessment. The practical and medical knowledge of the candidate is analyzed, with the help of these courses. The course varies from country to country. This is because of the fact that the nursing methods, diseases, healthcare policies etc varies from country to country.

To work in all these countries, Indian nurses who has to register with local nursing council and meet the pre-requisites of language skills which is required by some western countries with academic excellence & work experience ranging from 1-2 years and above are eligible for registration.

Information on nursing councils of some developed nations-

#1 UK : NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council) in UK conducts ONP (Overseas Nursing Program) which is bridging program for Indian nurses to become RN in UK. The computer based eligibility test has to be successfully completed in order to pursue the clinical component in UK.

#2 New Zealand: NZNC (New Zealand Nursing Council) is the authority in NZ. It is this board that comes up with Competency Assessment Program ( CAP) for nurses from abroad. One has to pass this program to get registered as a nurse in New Zealand. Upon completion of the prescribed by NZNC the person may work as a RN in New Zealand.

#3 Australia: The Nursing & Midwifery Broad of Australia (NMBA) provides registration for nurses upon completion of Initial Registration for International Nurses & Registered Nurses (IRON and RN) program to obtain the AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency) registration to work as registered nurse in Australia.
An Indian nurse is required to complete a registered nurses program via Initial Registration for International Nurses. After completing it, one may easily get registered at the AHPRA.

#4 Ireland: Nursing & Midwifery Board of Ireland or an Bard Altranais  Nursing  Board is the Authority for registration of Nurses, after undergoing the prescribed adaptation program in Ireland. This authority board recommends some adaptation courses and programs for Indian nurses to get registered in Ireland. One has to complete the bridging program to proceed to registration process.

#5 Canada and USA: Indian nurses should clear licensure examinations like CRNE/ CPRNE & NCLEX /RN respectively prior working as RN. Also, how well a candidate fares in English language is also checked.


#6 UAE/ DUBAI/QATAR: Indian nurses should clear licensure examinations like/HAAD/ Qatar Prometrics respectively prior working as RN .

Emergence of the Trained Nurses Association of India (TNAI), a professional body in India is working as a government-accredited placement agency is its onward journey towards improving the lot of Nurses placement in the country. Concerned at the exploitative, unethical and deceptive practices of certain unscrupulous agencies operating in this area, TNAI had long been contemplating to provide a safe and fair mechanism to the Nurses, who in increasing numbers, seek employment within the country or abroad.
TNAI brought big relief to the Nurses seeking foreign assignments, who shall be enabled to fulfil their dreams for a modest fee rather than shelling out enormous money to the agents of dubious integrity so far monopolising the employment market. They not only do the placement but also train the nurses to develop the international language system and give their examination
Nurses in India do an incredible job, holding down the front line of medical care. As a graduate nurse one can look at where in the world offers the modern Nurse exciting job opportunities. At various global locations offering up a great lifestyle overseas, where nurses are well rewarded for all their hard work.
