Dear Incessently Needy,
Just because you have a desire to be around people all the time and tell them about things they (let’s face it) don’t really care about doesn’t mean they want the same things. Get a grip already, you’re a college student, act like one.

Dear Male Gender,
Why must you actually fall into the stereotype that society has given you? Is it really that hard to pick up a phone and call when you say you’re going to or make up your mind about what you want? I seem to have no problem picking up a phone and calling you, it would be great if you could return the favor, especially when you said you were going to call. But alas, it seems to be the way of life, I guess I should just get used to it rather than thinking one of you could actually be different.

Dear US Economy,
You really picked a crappy time to go down the tubes. (Of course, if it weren’t a crappy time for me it would be for someone else, but that’s besides the point.) The job market is a heck of a lot harder when the economy sucks and everyone is on a hiring freeze. (Even for those of us who have degrees that can get us “good” jobs.) Please turn around soon so that I will not be unemployed at the end of the summer.

Dear People who think a degree in nursing automatically equals a job,
Just because I have a degree in a good field does not mean that I will get a job. Everything is effected by the economy. There are newspaper articles saying that there is still a need for nurses. I don’t deny this. (In fact it will be true for a long time.) But just because there is a need for nurses does not mean hospitals have the budget to HIRE more nurses. Many hospitals are on a hiring freeze. (Or only want people who already have experience.) Some hospitals are laying off nurses. (If they’re laying people off, their not going to hire more.)
- Sick of explaining

Dear Hospital Doctors,
Please use language that is easy for non-medical personnel to understand. When my friend Moose was in the Emergency Department yesterday, the only reason she had any clue what was going on was because her two nursing friends were there to explain what the heck you were saying. It would be very much appreciated if you could explain things in terms we can understand so we can ask you questions that matter rather than questions clarifying what you just told us.
