Nurses Professionalism

Published

Nurses have you ever been discriminated or treated very poorly in the workplace based on gender, race, religion or sexual orientation?

When you say "God bless you" because you mean it, and want good things to happen, then it's fine. Even most people who don't share your beliefs won't be offended, because they understand you are offering them something good and intended for their benefit.

The way you seem to be using it is as a conversation stopper and to place yourself above negative commentary, it rubs people the wrong way. It also tends to confirm people's worst perceptions of "holier than thou" believers.

I absolutely agree and I am a believer. It's not the right image when your God-Bless-Yous sound like Go-Screw-Yourself. Neither God nor people are fooled.

The word delusional comes to mind. May I add that its blessed, not bless. When you say "I pray you all are bless" its poor grammar. I'm not trying to attack you, so I won't list the other grammar issues. What I'm trying to say is that your posts are hard to read with the poor grammar. You come across the wrong way. At a certain point, it can't be everyone else that is wrong. The word internet troll comes to mind as well. Its just my opinion and you have the right to disagree, but you are digging a hole for yourself. It would be better if you would tell the truth to everyone and just apologize for any misunderstanding and consider your wording carefully. Maybe even read your post before posting it. But with your story constantly changing, it makes you hard to believe. As nurses, we hear stories all the time and we are excellent at figuring out when someone is telling the truth or creating a story. You could still make it right if you choose to. Then you may be able to find the info you are seeking. But most people here don't want to help someone that can't help themselves (as in do a search first). Most of us have been discriminated against and that's called life. But you come across as if you were trying to stir up trouble about discrimination vs asking for knowledge or discussing solutions. Try coming across as humble. Try coming across without being condescending. You might be surprised at how people respond to you. There are some really wonderful people on this site and the combined knowledge on here is impressive.

My other point of view is that maybe we should stop feeding the troll. I was trying to give it a chance by saying it like it is to her. But I doubt our advice will be taken.
