Some states NPs can serve in a way the OP wants: diagnose, write prescriptions, have their own practice, etc. But some states are a bit behind: they have to work under a doctor, can't write prescriptions, etc.
...And all of them, no matter what state, have to deal with the same cluster fuck of a legal/government/medical system, which similarly drags down the rest of the economy. These leeches take our tax dollars and spend it on their lavish accommodations, then have the fucking BALLS to act like times are just as tough in D.C. and they need more money?
The level of bureaucracy in this country has just gotten way, way too goddamn large and out of control. We need to abolish EVERYTHING and start over from scratch. Evacuate DC, then drop nukes from orbit just to be sure.
MTU is just like the United States--everyone in it think they're the best, and claims to be so, and does their best to superficially look so on the outside.....but on the inside there's nothing but mush.
That in turn reduces student fees, which reduces student debt.
LOL....really? Perhaps you can explain to me why tuition and administration salaries keep going up every year? You are really so naive as to believe all those efficiency increases are being made for the students' benefit?
No, actually the AMA isn't full of fascist dictators like 99% of our government. Well, at least not to the same extent, not yet anyhow. You do know that the AMA was one of several groups strongly opposing marijuana illegalization in the 30s?
you really need to think things a few steps further down the road.
I think it's you who need to think more.
Universities are in the business of educating.
How the hell is anyone supposed to be educated in anything, if they can't get any hands on experience?
Washing the dishes in the University food court is just as valuable of an educational experience as sitting in the classroom taking notes. Working in the university printing room is certainly worthwhile. So is maintaining a university email system....etc etc. Outsourcing all this stuff is absolutely the wrong thing for an institution of higher learning to do, if they actually value education.
Dude... ^^ THIS. Seriously....the University I attended (Michigan "Technological" University) recently outsourced their email, groupware, etc to Google.....I'm like, what the fuck?? You teach computer programming and IT, and presume to be a top tier engineering school, but can't even maintain your own basic IT systems? Do you not see how you are outsourcing your core competency and denying your students the ability to get real world hands on experience fixing this stuff?
That's the argument I made on Facebook anyhow, and several drones (you know the type....19 year olds who think repeating establishment propaganda is the same thing as making a logical argument) immediately attacked me saying I didn't know what I was talking about. OK then, fine kids...stick your fingers in your ears and whistle. Actions have consequences. Enjoy your $100k in student debt when you're unemployed, and too stupid and inexperienced to get a job....asshat.
So, instead of attempting to understand how others (in this case, me) think, you go off on a tirade doing the exact same thing you accuse me of?
Are you kidding me?? You're the one talking about childishness, and how people who refuse to use GIMP because they don't like the name are "childish." No, you're the childish one.
Nice generalization there, too bad it's bullshit... unless by "the rest of us" you're referring to yourself and the mouse in your pocket.
No, I'm pretty sure this discussion is full of twits like yourself who not can't see why people don't like this name, but are militant about the idea that anyone who doesn't like the name is probably just a childish moron.
Anyway, how many people "don't like the name?" For that matter, why should I fucking care?
Yeah, why should you or the GIMP developers care? Why should it matter?
I don't know. How do you explain "attention to detail" and the "desire to be excellent" to someone? How do you make someone understand why it's a "good" thing to put their egos aside and make the best software they possibly can?
If you're childish enough (yes, childish) to boycott a perfectly good, useful, and best of all free piece of software simply because you get all butt-hurt about the name, then don't fucking use it. We (i.e., those of us who aren't pedantic douchebags) don't care if you call it the Islamo-Nazi-Fascist-BDSM Simulator, so long as it does the work we need it to do.
Cool. And you'll continue in your isolated little community, all alone, never getting the credit you "deserve" or the attention most of you actually do desire......because you fail to actually deserve it, through your mediocrity.
GiMP obviously ain't hurting from their lack of participation
If it had a better name it would have twice the participation.
a person has that strong an objection to the name of the software, they're welcome to A) fork it and rename the software whatever they want - this is open source
LOL no....why would I waste my time doing that?
B) suggest a few alternatives instead of merely bitching so they can hear the sound of their own voices

I think you're projecting. People are just irrationally afraid, period.

how about we legalize the things that might be good for us?
How about we just legalize it all and quit trying to run people's lives at gunpoint?
Which is exactly my point.

"There is no such thing as a free lunch"
Asshat.
I'd rather be an asshat than a fucking moron

As easy as turning your mom on
I LOVED this book as a kid. Great plot and storyline.
This is what you would do if you were to get a voice call as well.
Really? You would keep trying for 18 hours, until the text,..er sorry voice call, went through?

How the hell are "cyber attackers" getting into NATURAL GAS CONTROL NETWORKS in the first place?
K.....you first.
Seriously, show me the debtors prisons..
Stand up. Look around you. Look outside. The whole country is turning into a prison.
Dude, is this for real?
Probably a troll, but just in case.....don't do it man.
What the fuck does this have to do basket weaving?
you really need to think things a few steps further down the road.

I'm not sure what part of the word 'loan' people don't understand.
I'm not sure what part of the word unemployment you don't understand.
Stop apologizing for your corporate masters; it's disgusting.
This is baffling, why does everyone assume that all people are equal and of equal worth under all possible circumstances?
Just an old fashioned idea from an old fashioned hemp document..
