Nice to meet you.
I'm currently applying for admission to ADN, ABSN, and MCEN programs, but I don't think I'll be able to do it this semester, so I'd like your advice.
The current situation is as follows.

I have a BA from UCSD
Anatomy&Microbiology is B
Physiology is A
TEAS 85%
Medical Terminology is done.
Pharmacology has been completed.
I have CNA
I have worked in a hospital for over a year

I have taken about 10 schools this semester and have not been accepted by any of them yet.
I am preparing again for next semester, but anyway, the ratio is too high.

Is there any way to make it easier to get in ?
If I get into Second Degree or Entry Master, what percentage of scholarship etc. will I get ?
I took it this time anyway. I took it this time, but I don't think I will take it next time unless I get some assistance because it is very expensive.

I would also like to put LVN into shear, is there any reasonable school ?

I would appreciate any advice you can give me. I am depressed by the harsh reality and my inability to do so.

I'm not talking about shear, but field of view.

It is easier to get in if your GPA is high. Anatomy&Physiology is taken separately in many cases, so I take them.

It is important that you have taken all of them, but if you get less than a B on anything other than the ones marked B, you are doomed.

It may be faster to find a place that will put them in the Wait List in the order they are applied.

Second Degree and Entry Master are not special, so if you have a bad GPA, you are unlikely to get a scholarship. ? As far as I know, there is only one B, and I don't know of any others except A's or all A's.
I'm not sure if there is any other way to get a scholarship, but I'm not sure.
I think this is all the information you can get here, but I think you should make an appointment with a counselor at the school you want to go to, as counselors have the most information.

Different schools have different point systems, different required courses, and different points awarded. I guess if you are familiar with the program information of all the schools you want to go to or Apply to and have questions, what is it, but everyone is desperate, so if you are not well informed, you are "missing out". I think it is tough. If you have a CNA, there are many opportunities to increase your salary without becoming a nurse. You can get various certificates and training … It also starts with gathering information.

If anyone knows of a testing laboratory where I can get same day results
to obtain a negative certificate in Hawaii after returning to Hawaii, please let me know.
According to US rules, I need to present the negative certificate of the test 3 days after my return to Hawaii to be able to return to work. I would like to know if there is a place in Hawaii like Kinoshita Group in Japan where I can receive the test results by email in 10 minutes.
Thank you in advance.

R&B,

The CVS appointment page says antigen testing is a few hours.


By the way, according to the CDC page, if you have been vaccinated, testing within 3-5 days of entering the US is RECOMMENDED.
Does the workplace where you work apply strict standards?

Regarding the 401K rollover due to divorce, I would like to invest the money in the U.S. until the time of pension receipt, since the penalty for early cash-out is substantial if I return permanently to Japan after the divorce (U.S. citizen, no GC).

If you know of any financial institutions that non-residents can maintain, I would appreciate your advice. Thank you in advance.

It depends on the policy of the financial institution as to whether it is possible for a non-U.S. resident to maintain it. First, you should discuss this with your current investment company. I am a US citizen, but when I decided to move to Japan upon my retirement, I talked to the investment company I had been using, and they told me that they do not allow non-US residents to maintain an account. I checked with Fidelity Investment and found that it was possible, so I created an IRA account and a general taxable account with Fidelity and rolled over everything into that account. After moving to Japan, all access to the accounts was via the Internet, which was no problem. However, Mutual Fund is for US residents, so new purchases are not allowed. ( This should be the same with any investment company ) The sale of holdings prior to immigration was possible without any problems for both IRA and general taxable accounts. Purchases of common stocks and ETFs are possible even if you reside outside the US. Transactions can be done almost entirely online, but only the sale and encashment of Mutual Funds in IRA accounts could not be done online, and had to be done by mail after signing a prescribed form. ( Thus, it is time consuming. ) Sale and encashment of Mutual Fund in taxable account and Wire to other financial institutions were all possible online.
After living in Japan for several years, I returned to the U.S. As soon as I changed my address to the U.S., I was able to purchase / and sell my Mutual Fund online, all restrictions were removed.

I plan to move to Japan in the future and have an account with Union Bank of California, so I contacted the bank. They said that I can maintain the account even if I become a non-resident of the US. They recommended that I apply for Paperless for notifications, etc. and set up a password so that I can request money transfers by phone from Japan. I think it depends on the bank, so you should contact the bank where you have an account or want to open an account.

SJDummy,

I also have an IRA account with Fidelity and was wondering if I could open an account that would allow me to Wire to Japan. Thank you very much for your valuable information.

Mr. Prospective Returnee,
One point, regarding US->japanese wires, please note that the fees for yen wires from US banks to Japanese banks are often several percent or more. I opened a dollar deposit account when I was residing in Japan, and I send all my US->-Japanese WIRE in dollars. In that case, there is no dollar-> yen exchange fee required, only an International Wire fee $ 35. Since the exchange fee for dollar deposits in Japan is TTB + 1 yen, this method is the least expensive. ( Japanese banks are Mitsubishi UFJ). In addition, as you probably know, if the Wire amount exceeds JPY1,000,000 ( Japan ) or $10,000 ( US Dollar ), the information will automatically go to the respective tax authorities in both Japan and the US. It is important to keep the documents for at least 3 years. In my experience, I have never been investigated for remittances in excess of that amount. ( That way I can save my setup and it is less hassle since it is all done online. ) Also, I always use 2-step verification ( by phone or text ) for these transfers, not just ID / PW. If you have any additional questions, please email me directly.

You can open an IRA at any financial institution while you are living in the US, i.e. while you have an address here.
If you roll over your 401(k) into the IRA you opened, and then move your address to Japan when you return home, you should be able to maintain it with no problem.
If there is no particular need to wholesale now, I would suggest waiting until you turn 60 before transferring to Japan.

Currently, Citibank has an online international money transfer service, so you may be able to operate your own money transfer from Japan.
I think it would be easiest to prepare an IRA account and a Citibank account.

Is this considered domestic violence? ?
I can give him the money he needs to live, but I mean that he cannot manage our common property together.

I am planning to marry an American.

After getting married in the U.S., I think we need to go through the procedures to come to Japan, but I don't know what the process is.
I think I can go to the consulate, but I don't know what documents I need to prepare.
I would like to know in bullet points.

Also, for marriage and green card applications, do I only need to bring my family register from Japan?

If you are married to an American or know something about it, please consult me.

The Consulate General of Japan in San Francisco has a detailed list of required documents at the following website. We recommend that you call the Consulate and make an appointment to visit the Consulate after you have all the necessary documents.
https://www.sf.us.emb-japan.go.jp/itpr_ja/m03_02_03.html
Please note that you must use A4/A3 paper when downloading and printing the notification form. ( A4 paper is available on Amazon.com. )
The only documents you need to bring from Japan are two copies of your family register ( one original and one copy ) but when you visit the consulate, you will need to bring your passport and documents showing that you are legally eligible to stay in the US for identification purposes. Also, if you call the Family Registration Department of the Consulate General, they will be able to help you.

If you are using it, I would like to know about the signal, price, etc.
The other day I received a notice in the mail from Spectrum about a cheap plan as well.
Both Mint and Spectrum have almost the same rates with Unlimited, but I am not sure which is better.

I wouldn't say it's fake because the proponents are saying what they are promoting. If they made a video of the opposite, it would be fake, but
there are things you can and can't say
it can't be a fake or parody
they don't have the common sense to take this as a parody I'm surprised there are people out there who don't have the common sense to consider this a parody.

I will be returning to Japan this month. I have already been issued an international driver's license, but I don't know if there are any procedures required by the DMV for a U.S. driver's license after that.
Is there anything I need to do about my US driver's license when I return to Japan ? Also, do I need to change my address ?
If I change my address to Japan, I am worried that my international license will be revoked.
If anyone has any information, it would be very helpful. Thank you in advance.
