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?
Sure, I could Google the question and find out the answer, but by posting my question here, I get to engage with the AN community. It also opens up the conversation for others to add their personal opinions as well as the reasons behind the answer. Also, there are a lot of people on here that do enjoy sharing their knowledge and answering silly questions for those of us that have no clue.
So, sure I could probably google some of my stupid questions, but then why would I come here?
I enjoy reading other people's questions and answers.
This is actually a good response.
I think it's not only the questions, but the huffy responses WE get when the OP doesn't get the answer to which she/he thinks she/he is entitled.

Did you have to burst my balloon so early? Couldn't you have waited until page 10?
We can hug! Acute went to work, and since he ruined the group hug yesterday with his unwatched scrubs and his dude fist bump, we don't have to tell him. ((((((((((Hugs cani's thread and all those enconsed within it's boundaries))))
