Happy Thanksgiving!

Well its a Holiday and if I get my Residency this coming year these may be my last for awhile.

So wanted to post about a TV show I have watched some and was following for break time.

Caprica on SYFY.

A while back SciFi became SYFY for some stupid reason, and slowly they have been changing the content they air. Now they have programed Wrestling and Canceled Caprica. Here are some quotes:

are you fracking kidding me put caprica back on!!!!!!! its the best show on planet earth!! i wait for Tuesdays i even sit there and watch SGU just so i can watch Caprica afterwords! if anything cancel wrestling its not even science fiction!!

Why does “Reality TV” have any place on Sci-Fi television, let alone Wrestling??? I am so tired of tuning in to find fake ghost hunters, wrestling, and now my god a “grandma knows best psychic”???? What are they thinking. Give us back true (old fashioned) Science Fiction! not “SyFy” it is Sci-Fi!
SAVE CAPRICA!

One other thing I am doing a search on this show Caprica and get the main office numbers and thier addresses and emails to write and call them. This is one show I will fight for to get back but the others shows, I dont care what happens to them. But this show is special and different. I am a big fan of fantasys science fiction.


I know this a blog about Medical school but its important to take breaks and have a little fun.

This show was fun for me, fantasy.

SYFY claims its ratings, Uh ratings are so yesterday and out of touch its not funny, if the show did not have viewers and a fan base then when you google this subject not much would come up, do for yourself and you will find a lot of comments and sites about this.

Paying for TV is becoming a joke, the channels change content so much and repeat shows over and over, sometimes for years, that they insult us. We are insulted because we are getting nothing in return for our money. The channels get paid by advertising and us and then they turn around and try to find the cheapest way to provide what they think will make the views watch.

LOL yeah wrestling is what science fiction followers want to watch.

Sorry SyFy I give you a big fat F for failing your audience

Hello,
I know that you are in residency right now and I doubt you have any time for your blog.

I am a RN and I am, of course, considering Caribbean medical school--St. James or St Matthews. I was pre-med in college before I became a nurse and I have always considered going back. So now, I am 34, just got married and ready to take on the challenge.

I was military, which wrecked my credit, so I won't qualify for anyone's loans. I have a million degrees already (2 BS, 2 MS) so I am tapped out on fed aid unless the school is a US school. I am looking into the new GI Bill, which will hopefully open some doors and, if that doesn't pan out, I am trying to explore other avenues to get money for Caribbean education.

Do you have any ideas at ALL about how I could fund Carib Ed? My next idea is to solicit friends who are physicians for a pay-back-service loan :-)

Thank you for your thoughts and best wishes on your Journey! Your info in the Med Forum was PRICELESS!!!

I'm so sorry I'm seeing this late.

I have been a little down myself, having to retake step 2 CK I can't match now. I may land a residency off cycle though.

Anyway, for the Nurse wanting to go to a Caribbean medical school.
Since your credit is a mess, look at fulfilling the preqs and then the MCAT, you only need 25 or better and you should have a chance at one of the big 3: AUC, SGU and Ross. They have US federal student loans and they have a good track record for residencies and success, GL
