Your mind will bacome a steel trap. You will develop cat-like reflexes. Your grappling/submission skills will become superhuman. Your ability to overlook unsults? God-like. Your friends will worship and bow before you. At the height of your carreer, an ER doc will ask you for....gasp! Your opinion. Little bit of verbal/physical abuse, but you will win every single time. Be friendly to the security guys. I'm 6'2", 230lbs. I STILL need their help. Go to the ER.

Hey, I have been looking at Salt Lake as a place to relocate. Every time I mention this, I get a look of despair and pity. "You'll never make it out there! It's all Mormons!" I lived in Idaho Falls as a teenager, and heard stories from my dad's workplace of unqualified people getting promotions because they were LDS, or of qualified workers not recieving them because they weren't. I am not LDS, and am not interested in becoming one. I would like some feedback as to the working situation in SLC. Are the managers fair? What is the atmosphere like on the unit? As an RN, I am not looking for management, but I don't want a horrible schedule, or for my raises to disappear. Also, I saw a post here about a certain hospital in the area with a reputation for rough nurses. Is this related to religion and as seen from outsiders? Are these fears reasonable? I would appreciate all feedback, LDS and non-LDS. Thanks!

Uh, yeah. There is no way LMU's average is 100%, Out of the last several classes they have had, there have been a min. of 2 students (that I personally know of) that have failed each site. No telling about the students that I don't know of... Most have re-taken and passed, but, again I know of two that have taken boards 3 times and not passed. Don't be intimidated by a school's pass rate OR claimed pass rate. You are the only one that you have to worry about!!!
