nurses that "mercy kill" their patients? Seriously, who would want him taking care of their loved ones?

It would be nice to see him, or anyone else, accomplish something worthwhile after this.

No doubt those supporters would applaud a new career for him.

And is taking online classes at Arizona State. ASU confirmed that he's taking classes but isn't officially in a program there yet.

He said he was enrolled in the ASU online nursing program. The college said he was not in any degree program just taking some online classes as a non degree student.

If you were part of the team at a college deciding to let someone in the program, how quickly would you pass on him? Especially for a nursing program. He did not actually show any compassion or empathy toward the men he killed. As he is a high school drop out (unless he found a way to complete HS, it would be pretty easy to just put him in the no pile.

For most, just having a high school education, which he may have, is not enough. Most colleges I know of do not accept everyone.

Traditionally, you'd need decent SAT/ACT scores, although those are going by the wayside I think.

But people with troubled backgrounds are routinely accepted into college.

College is a place where you generally start with a clean slate, and your road to success lies mainly within you. If you had difficulties with academics in high school, it won't be easy, but people can change.

Of a psych career.

Keep him OUT of the psych system.

Staff on those units have a lot pf power over the patients. A sociopath sometimes unsupervised around vulnerable people who are in mental distress, they could become targets of monsters like him. It takes just one dark triad asshole to make a psych unit not safe..

His fame and notoriety will overcome him as a proud boys hero and right wing celebrity.

Speaking tours and some bucks.

George Zimmerman had some repetitive events that seemed to put him in a bad light.

to be a nurse. This gun-toting jellyfish hasn't shown that he can do that. I think that he would drop out or quit before he got to boards. His enthusiasm will be nonexistent after his first 12-hour shift, having some sick person puke on him, or cleaning someone's butt. Go ahead, Kyle, get ready to empty urinals, bedpans, and expose yourself to unknown contagious organisms while your patients all need you at once. Gown up, Kyle, you can never make up for what you did. But, maybe redemption is a needle prick away...

Nah, he can't do it. He'll pull all the worst patients, and he'll call up Gaetz for a job. Then he can be a pimp. Go for it, Kyle! Patients will request another nurse when they find out who you are.
