I am new to this online world of talking on forums. I've made a mess of things, and I ask your forgiveness.
I'm not a 'troll' although that is a reasonably new term I've discovered.
I have lots of stories, some really difficult ones, but when/if I post them in the future, I will give much better background information.
I have worked with several US nurses over here in the school job, and they've been great. I have seen some cultural differences, not good or bad, just different, but we got on great, and keep in touch even though they're back in America.
So, again, my apologies for getting off on the wrong foot.
Glad someone else said this. I also don't believe the current "babe in the internet woods" thread. Lets see what's next.
It's not worth it. I think I have some really interesting stories to share, but it's simply not worth it. I don't have a thick enough skin for this, although I now I have had such a response, I would like to continue. But at the end of the day, I might just keep my adventures to myself.
Hey, at least it hasn't been boring with your input! Boring is the ultimate in bad on forums. If you can learn to ignore or otherwise somehow live with the inevitable negativity in the wild world of the internet the arguments can actually be fun.
That said the arguments also shouldn't be personal. Debate the post, not the poster. If you do feel offended by somebody's response feel free to flag it. Use the little exclamation point in the yellow triangle at the bottom of the post, this reports the post as against the sites TOS and will be followed up on by the mods.
Ski nurse? I'm intrigued. Here in the US, most ski patrollers function at the BLS level, some as paramedics & there are docs on the hill at some resorts. But a nurse? Cool. What's your scope in that role?
Anytime you walk into a room full of strangers it is wise to keep your mouth shut and ears open until you get the lay of the land.
In a word, lurk.
If that is a new word, it means to hang out, read some threads, learn the language, get a sense of what is offensive, hot buttons, respectful disagreement etc., before starting topics of a questionable nature.
