The Mockery of Nursing

Nurses Relations

Published

Just a bit ago the top three threads involved:

1.I have a DWI. Can I be a nurse?

2.I am stupid. Can I be a nurse?

3.If it takes me five times to pass NCLEX, Can I be nurse.

Not much left to add. Says it all.

How easy is it to get into American colleges and universities? The misuse of written English/American is incredible on this board. The posters claim to all have 4.0 gpa's, have no world knowledge (what does it take to be a nurse in ^insert European country^ but I don't speak, read or write the language), feel superior/persecuted.

So the thought of ever requiring hospital care in the US from some of the posters on this board is positively frightening.

If you're embarrassed to ask the question, think how this American feels to answer it. I can't explain it, how so many students with no apparent proficiency in their native language are able to gain admission to a college, gain admission to nursing programs, and so on.

I KNOW I'll need hospital care at some point (hopefully FAR in the future, but probably not), and I know my chances of meeting up with the semi-competent frightens me more than you know.

Wow. I had no idia (sic) what I was in for when I saw the letter writer thread. Craziness.

I need you all to advice (sic) me. I had a rough night at work last night. Do you think it would be OK if I brought my husband with me Thursday? :) He'll just sit next to me and not look at anything.

And yet another thread that I'm keeping my fingers away from. I swear, I just don't have the patience today.....apparently it's a new thing that the NM interviewing the new grad says "I don't tolerate nurses eating their young" and "I have fired several bullies". I say new, because I can't imagine a NM EVER firing a competent nurse because she didn't like how that nurse talked to another nurse? Sounds like total, flame-broiled BS to me. Want to hire a couple of warm bodies? Tell them EXACTLY what that newbie was told. It's gold.

I once worked for a NM that told me similar stories, all about how we have to create a warmer, more loving environment in which to "nurture" our newest employees. Too bad she was right there with the flame thrower PRN!

A lot of burning imagery in this post. Are you steamed?:smokin:

I made my own thread for the NCLEX forum. Kinda hoping it heads off some of those repeated questions!

Really? That would be really cool. Point me there! Oh I suppose I could use the search function, but why on earth would I do that?

Oh me too. I would love to take my cat to work. He wouldn't bother anyone!

I see we are starting to move on from "old nurses eat their young" to a new thread about how sometimes experienced nurses are not as smart as the young nurses.

aw, you don't care enough to post-stalk me? sob.....

Well, I ended up doing that. At this point I think I'm going to set up a perma-link to your profile, as you seem to land in the most interesting and bizarre parts of this site.

I know not everyone has the same beliefs as me. I got into nursing to help and heal people.

What do y'all think?????

Really
