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?

Not the least bit NETY, here, but I do spit pre-newbies out frequently.
If they would just learn how to search, they would find HUNDREDS of the very same empty-brained posts justlike the one they just started!
So the #1 deficit off pre-nursing-for 2-more-years poster seems to be Critical Thinking. One might be excused for expecting the younger generation who were raised using computers to actually USE those computers to find specifics from actual sources AT THE SOURCE.
How about someone starting a thread for "Pre-nursing Pen-Pals" so they can wad up together and freak each other out. Get that out of their systems and THEN come on here to interact.
I'm sorry, is this too cruel?
For me, a childless mid-60's retired nurse, it is like being in a group of first-time-pregnant young women who are discussing Old Wives Tales and what their Auntie LalLa said that her BFF told her.....I mean, PLEASE!
I've gone and done it. I used parts of Flounce Bingo, and added a few from everybody else (I hope I didn't miss anyone). OK, so my link's not working because there's a cuss word in it. if you go to the link and cut out everything in between www. and bingo, and replace it by spelling out the word signified by "BS," you'll see it. I'm exploring other options.
