Yes, everything turned out very well, thank you.
A lot of things upset me about how the whole thing was mishandled, but one of the things that upset me the most was how in the world someone had been able to get a Ph.D. in a technical field WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO COUNT TO TWENTY ON HER FINGERS AND HER TOES!!!

My neighbor has a PHD in Computer Science, and is one of the most breathtakingly, frighteningly stupid and immature people I have encountered (yes, he subscribes to The Nation) . His overall demeanor is similar to what I recall the more oafish high school kids to be like, and he constantly needs help with the most mundane things of a practical, tangible and everyday nature. Being a friendly, helpful stoat, I always do my best to assist but it's always something like:
PHD Neighbor:
"OMG! My car won't start! It just makes this clicking sound!"
Scruffy stoat:
"I see. Did you check the battery cables, the battery fluid level and the battery's charge?"
PHD Neighbor:
"Ummm...no. How do I do that?"
Scruffy stoat:
"Oh, Okay...I"ll be right over."
(PHD Neighbor's car is running just fine ten minutes later)
Although I've met some brilliant PHD's, I've also met some who have spent their lives in an extremely insular academic world which robs them of many life experiences that most people would likely consider "basic".
In fairness, Nursing does involve a fair amount of (basic) math and so your account is quite disheartening.
