There is a trend going on here lately where random people come on here and ask really specific questions.
Y'all need to stop it. It makes you look lazy and stupid.
Pick up the phone and call the appropriate people. Don't ask random strangers on a message board.
How in the heck should *I* know what the schools in your area require to get in? Call the admissions office and ask them. And hope it doesn't change before you finish high school.
How should *I* know what benefits you should expect as nurse once you get out of nursing school? Call the local hospitals/clinics/wherever and ask them. And hope it doesn't change before you graduate.
How should *I* know what the hiring practices are for your local hospital, when you are completely anonymous and could be from Taiwan for all I know? Call the local hospital's HR department and ask them.
You've all seen deeply specific questions on here.
Sometimes I wonder if people have forgotten how to communicate. In this age of social media, do people just not know how to ask anymore?
Is every question a group question now? Should you post random questions on different message boards and expect an answer?
Why wouldn't you contact the actual peope who KNOW the answers?
For some reason I get irritated that so many (especially new/pre-nursing-student) members who happen to be males make a point of telling us they are male. Like they think they will get special treatment or something.
I've known and enjoyed working with many guys who thankfully just rocked and didn't expect special treatment. Although some of them did seem to relish helping a patient who'd been pervy or rude to the female staff see the error of their ways, lol.

I know, it bothers me too. Why do you need to tell me you're a male nurse/nursing student? It's unnecessary. Just tell us why you're here. Women don't come here & say I'm a female nurse/student. I know it's a predominantly female field but there is no point to tell us your a dude.
I linked to Let Me google that for you once and was called some very bad names. But I agree. I don't want to do the leg work so we will ask random strangers every possible question.
I say we just start giving fake answers for the fun of it.
"The schools in your area all require three years of college-level anthropology before you can even apply"
"The trick to getting a job where you live is to send all the hospital administrators in town a gift bag full of glitter, decorative soap and a headshot of yourself in a traditional nurses uniform"
"I went to Obscure University in Kansas, you definitely shouldn't go there, they suck"
One of my favorites is the one where the Japanese men are sleeping in the wardrobe/dresser, and they get stuck in there because Kramer was using his hot tub and it steamed the drawers shut:roflmao:
I still watch them every night because the news depresses me so much!
