PSA to the thread police this is not a homework assignments these are just random questions I posted for random people to intelligently answer. Lol The responds are so hilarious...people take policing serious. Lol
We have a search feature in the upper right hand corner in say enter keyword and a blue box that says search. It is very useful when looking for information about topics.

Like any other community there is certain...etiquette...that is followed. Rapid fire questions make nurses feel uneasy...under fire in a manner of speaking. I answered in another thread...

Op...your questions have been in rapid succession over a short period of time and it can seem "spammish" in nature. Collect your thoughts....nurses have a personality trait that is a job hazard. We need details. We don't answer questions without gaining all the information possible to then make the best decision/answer.

I know you are looking into nursing as a career change...you will learn that nurses want to know all the details before they answer. Our minds start ticking off questions...why is this question being asked? why are there so many questions being asked? what exactly does the OP want to know? Is this homework? Is this family oriented? Are they looking for legal advice/evidence for something? What are they looking for? Why do they want to know? What are the details? What do they mean by obnoxious doctors? Is this research for their program?

Nurses are reticent to answer questions that they have no detail about....it's a quirk to the profession. Explain the details of what and why you are asking the question....we will be happy to help. We do require everyone to play nice.

OP, what are your thoughts on tattoos? Do you feel like you've been turned down for promotions because of a tattoo? Do you feel like there should be some guidelines or rules in place with regards to visible tattoos?

Have you ever been discriminated by a rude physician who talked down to you because of your tattoos?
