But of course, nobody cares. The rich will get MDs and the poor will get midlevels.
Worse still, many NP programs are now giving out "doctorates" of nursing practice so that NPs can introduce themselves to the patient as "Dr." Smith.
In short, the VA is willing to gamble with your life if it means saving a few bucks. It's pretty harrowing.
> I do know people who moved to the area from California, but they fit in wonderfully
ie, white?
Was it normal, or was that just what you and your friend group experienced? Is there any hard data?
I find it hard to believe that a 2.75 GPA would be anything but the bottom 10% or less of students.
or a revolution
Unfortunately, my hand hurts just looking at the example in the promotional video I found. I don't see how you could hold your hand up at that angle like that and not end up straining it. However, I'd love to be wrong.

> Plaintiff alleges that younger nurses called her an “oldbie” or “old bitch” and referred to rice she ate as “lice.” (Lee Dep. R. #33-4 at 170) She asserts that one nurse stated, “you Chinese people eat anything that crawls and walks” and also stated that Plaintiff does not have “chinky eyes” even though she is Chinese. (Id.) In December 2013, Plaintiff reported the incident to a different supervisor, Debbie Brosovich (“Brosovich”), who responded that she was “overreacting” and being “sensitive.”
As an Asian, I just can't get behind any of these "diversity" pushes when they unilaterally mean "we don't like having Asians around."
People are going to manipulate things in their favor as much as they have the power to do so. Oligarchs in America and elsewhere have the most power, and thus do the most manipulating. Also, it's no secret that the vast majority of wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few oligarchs.
Well, have you thought about buying a larger plot of land? Seems like the obvious solution if you are intent on controlling wide swaths of land surrounding your house.
Yeah, for the people in power (ie, the US/anglosphere at large)
I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. It's very difficult for me to follow textbooks that have 200 different colors and 5 sidebars per page.
In terms of born premature vs born early, I understand that premature is the medical term. As a medical student, I also understand that it can be helpful to use more precise words in describing a situation.
However, I personally think that a lot of our medical jargon is due for simplification. For example, is there really any benefit to saying "epistaxis" rather than "bloody nose", or "rhinorrhea" rather than "runny nose"?
In the case of "born early" - premature and preterm are already interchangeable. I wouldn't mind adding born early to the mix.
With that said, I'm confused about algorithm 2 (difficult words). How does adding "Yes!" in front of a sentence change it from a 0.45 reading level to a 0.25?
Am I missing something?? Was something else changed in that sentence?
I also think it's interesting that the article accurately pointed out that writers will censor themselves when writing for the intellectually challenged. And yet, I see examples of censorship in this very article (intentionally or not).
For example: "In recent decades, as disability activists have won more civil rights, both in the US and internationally, accessible writing has gained greater attention." vs "People with disabilities have more rights than ever before."
I feel like leaving out "civil" from rights could be construed as censorship. After all, what good is it to know you have rights if you don't even know what type of rights they are?

Maybe you could add a link if you want to expand to the second one. But it's just too long for sharing.
