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?
I could care less if you are a male or female. My question is can you do your job and do it well? Geesh. Priorities people,priorities
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.
Say you are a person who doesn't use message boards (I know more people who don't than who do, maybe that's just me).
And you really want to find something out about bird watching.
So you google "what is the best field guide to use for bird watching?" or "best place for bird watching in [your area]."
And google brings you to allbirders.com, a Birding Community for Birders. And since you don't use message boards, you think nothing of posting your simple question. Sure, you could have searched it, but you don't really know how to use this site, and will anyone really mind anyways?
Oh boy, do they mind. Instead of getting an answer, you get hardcore attitude. No one takes the thirty seconds to type out "My favorite bird watching place is Tweetie Park, it's right off of Bird Street in Chirp Town!" They take you to church over posting a question you could have searched.
After experiencing this, you too may be rubbed the wrong way and make some assumptions about the birding community.
To continue your analogy, it's like a birder wannabe asking, "Do yellow-bellied finches fly over Niagara Falls in the spring?" to someone from California.
I gotcha, though I was too young to be drinking, and may have heard about this secondhand. My Newhart experience is mostly about Larry, and his brother Darrel, and his other brother Darrel.

How should I know?
No, no I getcha. I really do. It was more of a response to the direction the thread has taken than to your original post. In fact, I should have quoted a specific comment when responding.
