In 1955, blues and jazz legend Alberta Hunter decided to begin a second career as a nurse after reaching the pinnacle of a music and theater career spanning more than 4 decades.  Yet, she was turned down when she first applied to the School of Practical Nursing at the Young Women s Christian Association branch in Harlem.   The director of the school told her that she was simply too old to become a nurse.  Undaunted, she applied again, this time.

As 2015 began, some experts declared that not only was the nursing shortage over but that it was a myth (See our February 2015 article: Is the nursing shortage a myth? ) and a number of news outlets began reporting on just how difficult it was becoming for new nursing school graduates to find a job. However, as we enter 2015, it is clear that there is still a shortage of experienced nurses in some regions, that the demand for nurses.

There are plenty of student travel opportunities for anyone looking to travel cheaply. Whether you’re intent on planning a voyage with a purpose, like a gap year or a voluntourism trip, backpacking through Asia, Europe, Australia, North or South America, or simply soaking up the sun in Thailand, there’s a student travel package that will help you get there.

Your first step is deciding what type of student travel you’re interested in.

Finding cheap flights to Bangkok or Rio de Janeiro is easy, and from there, you’ll find hostels in each city, varying from quiet and clean to rowdy and fun. Another option is taking your student travel excursion a little closer to home, to a place like Paris or the south of Italy.

Student travel also branches out into the realm of helping people around the world through voluntourism. Finding a location suiting your volunteer ... Read more »

Life in SoCal s second city, San Diego, has a more laid-back edge than its frenetic northern neighbour. Shake up historic neighbourhoods, terrific eateries and the Pacific Ocean, and you have an irresistible cocktail of urban hip and beachside utopia.

Surfboard-wielding dudes, skinny-jeaned hipsters and Gucci-wearing stylistas converge on the southern-most corner of California's coastline to enjoy never-ending sunshine, unspoilt beaches and a lifestyle most people only dream of.

Downtown s distinctive neighbourhoods are the epicentre for all that's cool and hip in San Diego. You can amble around the shops and caf s of the historic Gaslamp Quarter, pick up one-of-a-kind artworks and coffee in Little Italy, or climb aboard historic ships in the Embarcadero District. Across the bridge from Downtown, the island of Coronado has small-town charm by the bucket load, with glittering beaches, the iconic Hotel del Coronado, and a beachfront boardwalk for two-wheeled coasting. ...

Japan is an island country in East Asia. Located in the Pacific Ocean, it lies to the east of the Sea of Japan, China, North Korea, South Korea and Russia, stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and Taiwan in the south. The characters which make up Japan's name mean "sun-origin", which is why Japan is sometimes referred to as the "Land of the Rising Sun".

Japan Major Tourist Destinations

Japan is an archipelago of 6,852 islands. The four largest islands are Honsh , Hokkaid , Ky sh and Shikoku, together accounting for 97% of Japan's land area. Most of the islands are mountainous, many volcanic; for example, Japan s highest peak, Mount Fuji, is a volcano. Japan has the world's tenth-largest population, with about 128 million people. The Greater Tokyo Area, which includes the de facto capital city of Tokyo and several surrounding prefectures, is the largest metropolitan area in the world, with over 30 million residents.

After Johannesburg, Cape Town is the second most populous city in South Africa. The well known landmarks like the Table Mountain and the Cape Point make the city famous.

Everyone wants a deal, but finding airline fares cheap is getting tougher.

The Economist's Gulliver has said buying tickets for mid-week departures can save a bundle, but you should also note that buying them on a Tuesday will further save you money. Airlines often push their cheap tickets sales on a Monday, so getting down to business on a Tuesday is the secret to airline fares cheap .

"This year's different than any other year," said Sarah Rosenberger, a travel consultant with Central Travel. She says ticket prices are, on average, up $50 each and now fluctuate seemingly without rhyme or reason.

It can change in a day, it can change in an hour - it's all over the place.

Rosenberger says being flexible with your travel dates is key to getting a good deal. She also recommends traveling mid-week - Tuesday or Wednesday - to save money.

Those days are "not only you can buy airline fares cheap. but they tend to have better availability.  So, if yo ... Read more »

I looked into getting tickets from EP to Dallas and its almost about 350 round trip with 2 months advanced notice. is that the usual price or is way too high i never fly so i wouldn t be too sure. Is there agencies that you can go through or cheaper airlines. HELP

i want too fly from dallas too lubbock texas but everything is oh so very expensive.;[ help does anybody know where cheap tickets are?

Any time you re deviating from major airports, you re not going to find cheap tickets.

The only savings you *might* find are by traveling midweek, and by booking at least 3 weeks in advance.

For comparison purposes, Greyhound is showing a $132 web-only round-trip fare, $106 advanced purchase (non-refundable) for the same dates and it s over 6.5 hours each way!

That $195 is looking like a pretty good deal to me

Nestled on the south shore of Lake Union and extending south to Denny Way, South Lake Union is one of the fastest growing and most vibrant neighborhoods in Seattle. As the city s downtown lakefront neighborhood, it s a place where cutting-edge companies co-exist with urban lofts, one-of-kind retail experiences mix with world-class parks and open spaces, seaplane tours depart to circle scenic Seattle from above and a streetcar line quickly moves people around in style.

I had just got off the bus That morning - after a scintillating run in a Kallada G4 Ishift Volvo B9R. To top it, I reached office later than usual. Already I was sitting in front of my computer browsing on RedBus! That I found SRS and some others had tickets for the next day to night Ernakulam. Another trip? Yes! I was booking another trip to Kerala That very weekend! I initially thought of calling my contacts for seats - but then thought of trying something different this time. Headed straight to the SRS Travels website and found some 6 vacant seats in Their B9R to Ernakulam (Thiruvalla bus) the next night. The only window seats were in the first row - without much rethinking, I booked seat # 2 - first row, left side window seat. The system Showed it was a 44 seater bus - I thought it would be a new bus, since SRS 'old B9Rs were 49 seaters. I was excited about my first journey by SRS - but Was that really worth the excitement?
