Those who can’t do teach.
And those who can’t teach, teach nursing.
I went on to a forty two year career as an advanced practice nurse. Nursing education never attracts the “brightest bulbs.”
She looks like she doesn’t exhibit a hostility to Twinkies.
Noticed that. $100k couldn’t buy you a latrine in a decent apartment in South FL.
She should’ve gone for more.
What is that word?
Her LinkedIn profile has her having gotten her bachelor’s degree in India.
I did my freshman year in 1970 at USF. It was a VERY different place then.
