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

Anyone? If you are interested, it might give some perspective of the difficult environment I work in.

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'm not saying don't post. Obviously you have a varied and interesting past and could contribute to many discussions here. What I am saying is it is common courtesy to get to know the message board's dynamics. Your unique posting style is not typical for this message board, which is why people tend to comment more on the delivery of your posts, and less on the content.

If you genuinely want to gain favor with the general membership here, step back. Instead of creating new posts, contribute to existing ones. Offer advice. Share stories. Less attention seeking, dramatic posts will gain a far warmer welcome.

Okay, I'm not going to post this story. Instead I'm answering someone else's thread, to hopefully give some good advice.

Do lots of that. Give guidance and support to others for a little while. Let members get to know you that way.

I'm appreciative of you taking my comments in stride. I hope your summer was good, and your students/patients are well.

Perhaps post in international nursing or world nursing posters there may have more interest in your anecdotes, escapades and unique adventures.

Since OP is not going to post the story, thread has no point. Closing.
