Alright, after several months of posting here in relative peace, I am now about to have people angry with me. I can feel it coming on....
Is it just me, or are all of these "help me!!" threads really getting on people's nerves? We have so many expert, helpful people here, and I think it's wonderful that everyone is so open and willing to share. And I do think it's appropriate to answer questions as to whether or not someone should enter the nursing field.
But all of these threads where people want them to do their work for them are just really irking me lately!! When the poster wants someone to do the leg work for them, AND THEN POSTS IT IN 8 DIFFERENT FORUMS, is a bit much in my book. And don't give me this "I don't have a creative bone in my body" crap. If you're going to be a nurse, you'd better find out how to be creative, or care delivery is going to be rough. "Please give me an idea for a presentation!" "Please tell me some nursing diagnoses for my care plan." "How do you do a cardiac assessment?" (That one really got me.)
The internet is a fabulous tool (that wasn't in use much when I graduated, and no, this rant is not just because I'm bitter), and this bulletin board is a fantastic forum for sharing. But give me a break. It's great to bounce ideas off one another, but trying to get someone to just do your work for you is taking it a bit too far.
Ok, clearly I need help. This is a Dayray-length post!! Thanks for letting me vent, and I'm ready for whatever wrath may come my way.
this post was initially on a different area of the board but i asked if we could get a copy of it here........i thought it would be useful for all of us.
lol, i was wondering why so many posters that don't frequent the student board were on this thread.
lol, i learned a long time ago to stay away from other boards since it is obvious by my screen name i am a student.
i'll amen that. we are okay to go look at the other boards but from some points of view, we are to stay put where we belong. heaven forbid that we ask for the view point of an experienced nurse. if i constantly wanted viewpoints from inexperienced nurses, i would ask my classmates. :chuckle
but oh well, this too shall pass. just hoping that i remember the lowly students and their confusing plight when i'm "experienced."
also just wanted to add that i do not believe that the majority of experienced nurses at allnurses are not willing to help students. quite the opposite from what i've seen.
yet, like most apple barrels, there are a few rotten ones.
I was really confused...I went away for the weekend and I come back and I see this thread in 2 places (?)--am I seeing things?
Heather, thank you for your last post...that explains well what I was trying to say.
Sorry some think I'm a rotten apple barrel. To be specific, I was in particular speaking of all the posts by student_nurse17, if it makes any of you feel any better. If you want to search my posts, you'll see that I'm not the most unhelpful person in the world.
