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 was going to suggest a Flounce Drinking Game, but some of the threads around here would result in mass alcohol poisoning.

I don't see the problem. We're all nurses. :p

How many SATA did you get? How many questions did you get? Did any get charged the $200 & pass? Did any get the bad pop up & pass? Did anyone get X questions & pass?

I think we might need a special NCLEX-forum bingo (bonus, instead of B-I-N-G-O, the columns can read N-C-L-E-X). What would the free square be?

Red Jello-O!

I'm confused about the red jello -- I used the search function, but it came up in a surprising number of posts and I didn't know which one to read. I will gladly read it if anyone remembers the title!

I failed NCLEX 12 times, can I appeal and work as a nurse anyway?

I can't find matching scrubs!

I have diabetes. Can I get a service dog so I'll look really cool when I'm a nurse? I don't need one for school.
