You're right, not everyone feels warm and fuzzy about their jobs, but ya know what? Not everyone feels the way you do, either. I only read a few of the posts on your original thread and stopped because there was SO much negativity in the post. You do not speak for me, yet you had the gumption to include all of us in the "we". YOU may be unhappy with the nursing profession but I am not.

I agree.

Membership feedback and feelings are critically important and respected here.

With all due respect, and in all honesty, i somewhat disagree with that.

Thankyou Mods! (And sorry I use a banned word meaning to complain in a post, I forgot the rules, try not to again! ) I love allnurses!

Not always are members complaints resolved to their satisfaction.

Often a member complains, "nothing is done about my complaints and nothing changes around here". However, the administrators are very keen to membership mood and complaints. Sometimes they do something, sometimes they don't. Mods have been gently chastised by administration more than once, and even mods dismissed from their duties, due to membership feedback. So it is important to them/us. There's much behind the scenes you don't see.

I have posted an entire range of emotions regarding my job and also my personal life. I have found some members to be inflammatory in their responses, and I admit to doing some of the flamming myself. I've learned to keep my fingers under control and use the triangle on the bottom left to report the poster instead.

People are always going to have different opinions whatever the subject matter. The thing that really urks me is when someone reads the last post of a 10 page thread and has a huge reaction without knowing what the thread is actually all about.

The long thread, I started, about the chronic COPD'er with 1 lung turned out to be very informative for everyone. I got a response from a first time poster who actually took 2 hours to read the entire thread before responding. I was impressed!

If a thread is too long and I'm not interested enough to read the whole thing then I just don't reply. I believe you can say anything you want on all nurses, it's all in the way it is said.

Ok, I'm off my soapbox now!

There are two threads that got closed and I can't get into them anymore. They are:
http://allnurses.com/forums/f50/frig...-new-post.html
http://allnurses.com/forums/f58/nurs...-new-post.html
The last one was similar to the one Rules for the ER.

What i said has nothing to do with satisfaction or "nothing is done about my complaints and nothing changes around here."

The first is full of a back and forth flamefest of no use. The 2nd is not funny and in the various incarnations of this so-called humor have resulted in flames to the original poster, so seeing the writing on the wall it was removed immediately.

There are valid reasons in keeping with the TOS's goals to keep it a friendly and supportive atmosphere that threads are closed and removed.

I didn't mean for you to think I was putting words in your mouth.

You merely were disagreeing with the statement that "Membership feedback and feelings are critically important and respected here." I understand that and I went off on a tangent, not necessarily talking about you personally, but in more general terms, and not just to you personally but to the membership reading this thread.
