FLAME ON!

What general discussion topic on allnurses do you get the most annoyed at?

For example: My pet-peeve is the "I hate working the floor. What cushy nursing jobs are there that do not require any real work?"

How would you like to respond to these topics?

For example: I would like to respond "Quit being lazy, put your time in, and develop into a stronger nurse before venturing out."

Without being specific enough to identify anyone, please contribute with your thoughts about topics that annoy you the most.

Please do not insult, demean, or disparage anyone. After all- at allnurses we are allfriends.

You clearly have two brain cells left, and they don't get along.

Best quote ever! I may have to steal this one.

There is a little bit of truth in all conspiracy theories. However, there is one conspiracy theory that is absolutely and positively true Pretty nurses shown to be much smarter than ugly nurses with years of experience

Thank you for articulating exactly what I've been feeling for the last 9 months as a new grad. I kept telling my preceptors I know everything but they just kept rolling their eyes at me. I'm going to show them this now.

:no:They're not rolling their eyes. They're trying to remember where they left the car keys and whether Nixon is still the president.

Me too, and then I get nasty grams from users and irritated notes from moderators.

Here's one that drives me crazy:

"Greetings fellow nurses! I'm currently majoring in Complete Waste of Money Studies at ULSA, but I'm not happy. My DREEEAAMMMM is to be a nurse!!!! I have a 2.06 GPA, and I hate math and science, but that shouldn't matter since I'm kind, compassionate, and called to be a nurse!! Are there any ABSN that are completely online that don't require any science or math prereqs? And ones were the clinical is online too! Plus I still have $80,000 in debt from my BA degree, sooo I need something cheap and fast! I only want to work with babies or in labor and delivery (I had SUCH a good experience when I had my baby and I already know EVERYTHING about birth since I went through it!!) I don't want to work with sick, old, crazy people, and I hate blood, guts, and body fluids! Ewww! But none of that matter since I have a calling!!!! Oh, and no nights, weekends, or holidays! I deserve this since I have a calling, not like some nursing students here who are only in it for the money! Pleassssee HELP ME!!!!!

Yeah, I dont think you can get into any programs with yur GPA. Plus, no good program have clinical online.

"Well I didn't ask for negative comments! Go away! You're just a jealous BULLY! And you have bad grammar so that just shows how much you know! Anybody else going to tell me what I want to hear?"

I don't say what I want, yet. I'm a newbie. Gotta get dug in a bit before I let fly.

I even clicked on it.

Only to tell you (a complete stranger) that I'm offended.

I recently graduated summa cum laude alpha gamma beta from HarvardOxfordYale university.

I have applied for several management positions to no avail. Do I need my MSN for a management position?

I should qualify right??...I graduated in the top 0.2% with a 5.0Gpa (on 4.0 scale) all while stripping on the weekends.

any advice? HELLLLLP

"You completely misread my post! How dare you step on my DREEAAAMMMS! Your comment is highly offensive to me, and it's people like you that give nursing a bad name! If I'm ever sick, I hope you won't be my nurse!"

oh boy....
