Starting to think there should be some limits...

I've said this before and I'll say it again: I think new members should have to read an informational article about the good ole PVT and take/pass a quiz about it before posting yet ANOTHER question that has doubtlessly been answered countless times prior. A tutorial on the use of the search function might also be beneficial.

And also on the required reading list would be the post that was so eloquently written (memory is failing as to who wrote it) as to why you should not ask strangers on the Internet to do your homework for you.

^^^ And one of the well written posts in why not to use your real name and/or photo here (or really, any message board or forum).

I'd even give over all my royalties for the "READ THIS" and "PVT QUESTIONS?" articles...oh, wait...I don't HAVE any royalties, lol....

Still, wish they would read them BEFORE posting the same questions the person asked on the same thread that day.

And the "can I interview a nurse?" question.

I'm fairly new, too, but come ON people.

People who do it are advised not to but it falls on deaf ears.

Regrettably, often nursing instructors may ask them to post about an issue such as "ADN vs BSN", on a nursing bulletin board. At which I ask their instructor's name and contact data, so that I can explain why this is inappropriate, unacceptable and to STOP IT!!!!!

I'm sure it gets very annoying. I'm really new here and even I see the same posts over and over and think "really?!" But common sense is not too common. Making people read something first will be of no help either as people will just click "yes I read it" without actually having done so! So just carry on with the head shaking and skip over those threads :)

There should also be a limit to how many self-righteous, annoyingly petty threads you can start..

You have wayy too much time on your hands... It's not that serious.

Even if they don't, we seem to catch on pretty quickly. So many times the very first reply is "Is this a homework question?"

And you posters know who you are!
