Make It STOP!

Nurses General Nursing

Trigger Warning: This is a general venting thread. Toes may be stepped upon. Snowflakes may face warm temperatures. No one person is the target.

Please, fellow AN participants, make the following stop:

1) Referring to your particular work environment as 'busy'. They are ALL busy. We get it.

2) Using the word 'devastated' in regards to something that does not involve death, loss of limb, or major natural disaster.

3) Talking about the PVT- I think I speak for 99% of the million or so AN members when I say this - "Patience is a virtue"

4) Doing people's homework for them when they have made no effort beyond copy and pasting to do the work themselves.

5) Asking a complex question and, upon getting a thoughtful answer from an expert who took time and energy to compose said answer, failing to thank the stranger who took time to help you.

6) Mistaking the straight truth for bullying.

7) Mistaking an answer that differs from what you want to hear for bullying.

8) Telling experienced nurses you'd NEVER want to be like them when you have no CLUE of how their experience influenced their answer.

Ohhhh oh. Ok. I see what's going on here. PreMed? Bored and visiting from another forum?

Nope, pre human.

And flowing locks, no "butch" haircuts (wth?) and eyepatches.

What? No eye patches? Oops guess I broke that rule my last couple of days of clinical experience. Oh, wait, I had an eye injury and if I was going to do my job, I had to wear one.

"It only took me 8 tries, and I finally passed the NCLEX - let me share my expert advice with you now on how to do it."

Well, it only took me one try. Want to hear my expert advice how I did it? No? Well, then spend all that money on all those NCLEX classes and books that you are going to try to memorize which won't help one iota. Better yet, did you even listen and do your homework in school>

Sorry, that one gets me. So many nurses I know passed on the first try. Maybe it is the schools they go to? Maybe they picked one with less than a 95% pass rate, like, oh about a 50% pass rate. That makes a difference too.

"there's bad weather coming TONIGHT that I've known about for a week!!! Obviously I can't get to work!!! How can my manager/job punish me for this???"

(I understand there are extenuating circumstances in some cases, BUT there is also lack of preparation, feeling "special" that they shouldn't have to go to work in bad weather, etc.)

Specializes in Pediatrics.

"I made one med error/a patient fell/I said a curse word at work/that patient complained about me/that nurse looked at me funny. Am I going to 'loose' my license?!?!? PLEASE HELP URGENT!!!!"

"I've failed NCLEX 47 times, what can I do? Nursing is my dreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeam!" :banghead:

"I failed NCLEX 11 times but on the 12th time Jesus helped me pass. Here is my advice on how to pass NCLEX..."

Someone's first post:

"My husband just had surgery today and now he's in terrible pain and bleeding and I think his stitches just ripped and also his one side of his stomach is all swollen and bloated up and I need to know of this is normal and what should I do?"

Or

"Sorry this is going to be a long post. In 1993 my grandmother who I loved dearly was a patient at St. John's hospital in Springfield, Kansas. I could tell from the start the nurses weren't caring and the doctors didn't know what they were doing.

*3 paragraphs with every detail of that hospitalization*

"So what I need to know is, should I sue?"

"I failed NCLEX 11 times but on the 12th time Jesus helped me pass. Here is my advice on how to pass NCLEX..."

Just completed my ASN degree and decided I don't like patient care, what jobs can I get that don't include bedside care?
