    If you suspect someone in your life is a narcissist, there may be an incredibly straightforward way to confirm your suspicions: Just ask them. New research suggests that simply asking narcissists to out themselves can be surprisingly effective. Specifically, researchers asked this question over a series of 11 studies: “To what extent do you agree with this statement: I am a narcissist.’” The participants — and there were about 2,200 of them in total — were told to answer on a scale of one to seven. As it turned out, their self-scoring results closely matched scores on the traditional method...

    When I decided to become a nurse, I made up my mind from the beginning that I wanted to work in the Emergency Room. I have never worked anywhere else as a nurse.

    Wow. Hard to believe that this is the largest single collection of my works and thoughts. (Anyone know an easy way to pull an archive copy of all my posts?) Think about it, how many forums are worth 50,000 posts? No other ones in my estimation! Thanks to Jim for building this virtual house, and turning it into a home for so many of us. I'd also like to thank everyone who has invited me into their studies, offices, living rooms, bedrooms, and cubicles. You are all people I would like to meet some day, those of you who have...

    I'm asking for help. My daughter is an A+ student in her senior year at the University of Illinois studying to be a veterinarian (College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences). She has been on the Dean’s List every semester and has been given academic scholarships every year. She has been recognized as a leading volunteer and has been ranked as one of the top students in her program. Her grades and achievement (objective criteria) could not be higher. Here is the dilemma. After completing her application for Veterinary School at U of I, which included an essay, she has...
