"LPN's who mentor BSN's/run circles around RN's/should be grandfathered in/have to go back to school to do the same job as yesterday...." YES, I am very guilty of all of the above.....YES, it felt really good to vent and to know that others were in my shoes as well.
But RN's who can't pass the NCLEX should be granted an LPN license takes the cake.....and on the cake metaphor, we would all like our cake and eat it to, but those days are gone. Period.
And I KNOW ya'll are sick of hearing it...because when I start sounding like broken record...oh, wait, I think that may be an annoyance too....:***:HAHA!
"I have never experienced X. Therefore, X does not exist."
"I hate people. Sick people disgust me. I faint at the sight of blood. Should I become a nurse?"
"I have a negative GPA. Which schools will accept me?"
"All nurses younger than me are lazy, entitled, and incompetent."
"I have been in nursing since God was a boy, so I shouldn't have to train people/work nights/work weekends/work holidays/learn to use the computer/wear gloves/change my practice in the slightest from what I learned in school."
"I shouldn't be expected to work evenings/nights/weekends/holidays because I have kids/no kids/dogs/a hobby farm/an exceptionally needy gerbil/an active nightlife/a spouse/no spouse/church/a hangnail."
"I shouldn't be expected to drive to work in the snow, despite living in a very snowy area."
"My best friend's neighbor's uncle's baby momma's twin sister's mailman's grandmother's mechanic's first cousin twice removed, who lives 50 miles from the middle of nowhere, said the nursing home in his town is always looking for staff, even after the state shut them down last month. If you're not wiling to care for 175 patients by yourself, 60 hours a week, all 3 shifts, for $7.50 per hour, you just don't want a job badly enough."
"I am the hardest working nurse who has ever lived. I haven't taken a sick day, vacation day, lunch break, or used the bathroom at work since 1962. I do all of my patients' care, make beds, cook all of their meals from scratch (including catching, slaughtering, and field-dressing wild game), and do all of their laundry by myself. Nurses who take time off or do less than me are lazy."
Non-US and Canadian nurses, who want to work somewhere other than the US and Canada, who ask random questions about random immigration requirements. HAAD seems to be the most common. Isn't that what the World Nursing forum is for?
Kind of like when they want information about something. You wonder if they know about Google.

Yeah, sometimes you have to wonder how someone clearly able to create a profile on an online message board is also apparently unaware that the the Internet exists.
The posts that annoy me the most are from the older nurses who are really rude and condescending and act as if they were never experienced being fresh out of nursing school before with no clue as to what was going on. It's as if some members of allnurses actually enjoy making others feel bad about not knowing some things.. I've noticed it is always the older more experienced nurses who tend to be the cattiest.
People who complain about topics being rehashed are annoying too. If you dont want to discuss the topic again, then why did you even click on the post? If you're tired of seeing certain things constantly discussed, then deactivate your AllNurses account. Lol its a FORUM. Topics will be discussed over and over again!
