Does anyone want to know the dilemma I had last week, me vs the doctor case

I'll bite. Where are you currently working?

Well what happened? You can't just leave us hanging like that.

Following. I want to see where this is going.

No. But even if we all said no you would post it any way.

Love, I gave you the benefit of the doubt quite awhile longer than others here. But this is getting to be quite strange now. Do you spend as much time reading as you do posting?

Message boards have generally understood etiquette. Posters might share interesting stories from time to time, but those threads won't be the bulk of what they contribute.

Message boards are often more give than take - meaning, you contribute to the overall membership with support and advice more than you take. At the least, it should be 50/50 overall.

Newer members are usually cautioned to have a solid foundation of posting history before posting things that might be controversial. The reason for that is because if you come out immediately with sensationalism, no one knows if you're for real, or if you're just creating click bait or trolling.

Also, a thread like this - outright attention seeking, is a big no-no. What are you expecting here? People to say yes? Do you see how strange that is? If not, then please take it from me - it is strange. Very.

I have tried more than once to help you with message board etiquette. I think it's just not setting in. This thread is not going to give the responses you are hoping for, unless your end game really is to create drama.

Directly related to your subject, most of us here tend to not want to fuel the nurse vs. doctor fire because we just don't see the point in it. You'll have your good ones and your bad ones in any field and it helps no one to create or add to "us vs. them".

How old are you nursingaround? Twelve?

Jacob080110 · Sep 20, 2015

Please tell us, I would really like to hear about it.

OP: No, but thanks for asking.

You're right, I really don't get it. I share what I think are some interesting anecdotes, especially as I've had quite a varied career in a number of countries, hoping someone might get something useful out of it. I generally think the discussion is good, even when people disagree, although I will admit, that first post about a 'sexless nurse' - the response left me stunned. I truly thought it common sense. But it did highlight what appears to be a big difference in opinion. What would be interesting to figure out if it is USA vs European way of doing things, or perhaps old nurse vs young nurse, I'm not totally sure.

Sadly, I guess you, among probably many others, don't see this.

Is there anyone out there who does?

If not, I'll try and stop.

I just got back from the summer break, and was looking forward to posting here again. Maybe it is time to call it quits.

I'll pass. :yawn:

No, just no.
