AN Scholarship

[NICU Guy]

I think that anytime someone posts a thread using the word(s) "bully", "NETY" or "PVT" they be required to pay $1 to the scholarship. By the end of the year they would be able to fund several students' nursing education.

Don't forget to add a $1 for every HIPPA posted (though that was once correct), and another $1 for every person who posts "HIPAA, not HIPPA" in response. Plus an extra $5 if that follow-up post only corrects the HIPAA misspelling and doesn't offer the OP/readers any helpful info.

Posts that don't know the difference between lose and loose. I want $10 for because we are professionals!!! And if we graduated nursing school, we should have basic grammar skills.

If you post the exact number of SATA, drag-and-drop and math problems on your NCLEX, that's a dollar per.

Let's throw in all the posts asking random internet strangers to make life decisions for them...

Can I afford nursing school, random stranger?

Hello stranger, is nursing right for me?

You don't know me, but should I pick this job instead?

With the imaginary pot we'd be accruing there's enough scholarship money to send more than a few students through school...or maybe just enough for the posters that ask "should I pay $150,000 for nursing school?"

$100 for the "I took the NCLEX 15 times and finally passed. Here's how you can do it too."

[Wuzzie]

$20 for stating any version of "I hope you never take care of me or one of my family members"!

[JadedCPN, BSN, RN]

$50 for people who come to an Internet forum asking for advice, but then get upset when they don't agree with said advice that is given.

[Pepper The Cat, BSN, RN]

$10 for 'only positive responses", $20 for any version of "you are mean, get off my thread"

[JadedCPN, BSN, RN]

$5 for "I didn't get my DREAM hospital/job/unit so my life is over" posts.

(Seriously though, I don't remember any colleagues talking about their "dream" hospitals/units when I graduated some years ago.)

Alright I need to go to bed. For the record this is currently one of my favorite posts ever.

$20 for anyone who posts ... "Am I the only one who ...?"
