Changing Careers? Could Nursing Be for You?

What did your parents do for a living? How about your grandparents? No matter what it was, the likelihood is that they did it from the time they started work until they retired; perhaps they’re still doing it now. This is because older generations tended to stick to one career, seeing it through from beginning to end. They might even have stayed with the same company or in the same workplace for their entire working lives.

Things are rather different today, and younger people coming into the workplace tend to change their jobs every three to five years. They might even change their careers. The ‘job for life’ is not as easily attainable anymore, and those in the workforce have to expand their searches, perhaps even obtain additional qualifications, work up the career l…

Marwaan Macan-Markar

BANGKOK , Feb 15 2006 (IPS) – Mounting evidence that more people in Asia and the Pacific will be dying of chronic diseases rather than infectious ones by 2015 will force the region s governments to redraw their public health budgets, say United Nations officials.

DEVELOPMENT: Bank Focus on Growth Often Leaves Poor Behind

IPS Correspondents

WASHINGTON, Dec 7 2006 (IPS) – The World Bank s own auditing arm has confirmed what many anti-poverty campaigners have long been saying: the Bank s projects did not adequately reduce poverty levels in borrowing nations over the past five years.
In a report Thursday, the Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) said that the Bank has focused too narrowly on economic growth, leaving unemployment and poverty rates to stagnate or worsen.

The Bank has helped many countries to get onto a growth path through improved economic management, but the growth strategies have not always helped enough to improve job opportunities and living conditions of the poor, the IEG said in its study, titled the Annual Review of Development Effectiveness 2006: Getting Results .

WARSAW, Nov 15 2013 (IPS) – Eating fish has been an integral part of the Caribbean s cultural traditions for centuries. Fish is also a major source of food and essential nutrients, especially in rural areas where there are scores of small coastal communities.
