Rant - How should *I* know?

Published

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 am baffled.

I loved this episode of Roseanne!

Confession: All day long all I've wanted to do was put a nurse cap on Roseanne's head, and C and L on either side of the glasses, so that this could look like Farawyn's avatar. I need to find the app that will let me do this kind of thing!

I think we have some people close to meeting FLOUNCE bingo criteria on the thread that wont die, nurses that eat their young "article" fantasy and CMA aren't nurses thread. By my calculations this will occur in an hour or so.

Well, I am a male AN member and I just added "flounce" to my dictionary of internet-speak.

Speaking of, having flounced out of her last thread, the Bachelorette is back with the update we've all waited for with bated breath.

Badasses don't flounce.

I have no idea what is going on.

I was actually studying.

Ha ha ha. I just imagined Mavrick flouncing.

Picture, big biker guy covered in tattoos throwing a hissy fit of an entitled 20 year old girl.

I have no idea what Mavrick looks like, but that's what I imagined. Wonderful.

Gonna keep up, Ood. (Like I know what's going on after 155 posts)

I was in an alternate universe talking about nursing on the internet.

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.

This reminds me of this guy I work with who walks around saying he's the "Michael Jordan of mursing" like wth!

Ohh alternate universes. Do they serve Tea there?

Oh, NO! I don't flounce. I fight to the bitter end (been the last poster on a number of threads) or silently stalk and resurrect the fight in another thread.

They do if you're color-blind.
