I'm currently in nursing school while working, and this got me.

“While those seeking degrees in veterinary medicine, law, and podiatry will still have access to the full financing available to future professionals, our department will henceforth limit loans for those Americans simply blowing off a little steam by attending nursing school in between shifts at Buffalo Wild Wings,” said McMahon, who questioned the federal government’s role in loaning out money so students could purchase masks, gloves, and stethoscopes for their “fun little nurse costumes.”


I like my Littman! But yes, lord, the costs of supplies and everything else is an entire thing.

On the plus side, I do kind of feel like Batman. Get four sets of scrubs, each with a dozen pockets, and then fill those pockets with ten thousand things to have on you throughout the day in hospital.

Then you get home, exhausted, go to take off your scrubs, and ten million alcohol pads come flying out of the pockets for some reason.

I've found glucose strips in my dryer. I dunno what's going on anymore.
