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.

Super Nurse, EIEIO!

Non-nurses (students) lecturing nurses about nursing are the most annoying posts in the universe, imo.

Specializes in Surgical, quality,management.

Those who say that they have no life outside nursing school or even nursing, folks get your time management down!

Those who ask strangers on the net about career changing decisions.

The one I'm thinking about was on a parenting board; this nutcase had one login that was a single mother, another login that was pregnant with her first baby, another login was grieving loss through miscarriage....and even one login (that we knew of) who was a father of a set of twins, his wife having been killed in a car crash (sympathy trolling, Munchaussen's, whatever). Truly sick.

And my guess is that even though discovered and banned.....he/she found another online place to be, with people who didn't suspect the truth---yet.

Even with all this sickness out there, we still have people here who post full names, workplaces, names of employers, email addresses, PHONE numbers. Truly clueless!

My first foray into the internet world was on a "mommy" site. :eek: Oh my gosh some of those women were meaner than cat manure.

My daughter-in-law frequents a blog written by an "organic mommy" who scorns vaccinations and Western medicine preferring to choose from non-regulated OTC products. I have to bite my tongue, so to speak, NOT to respond to things she puts on FB unless it is medically unsafe . . .which it is most of the time.

I tell ya . . . . ."mommies" can rip you up.

Can I get in with a 2.5 GPA?

Response: No.

But it says the minimum GPA to get in is a 2.0!

Response: That doesn't mean anyone actually gets in with that. It's competitive, there are only so many seats, so they only take the best half or so and they will all have good GPAs. You should retake some classes and be sure to get As in them.

But it says the minimum is a 2.0 and I have a 2.5, I'll totally get in!

Okay. Sure. Go for it.

What is this influx of spouses of nurses and nursing students posting? Again, I call baloney.

Specializes in Long Term Acute Care, TCU.

I don't know how I will pay for nursing school. My PELL covers everything and I live at home, but I still need to go out once in a while.

My spouse spends every waking moment studying and working 40+ hours each week. How do I deal with their selfishness?

I gave a patient 100 mg of Lopressor despite them being allergic to it and they crashed. Why am I unfairly suspended from work?

The older nurses are bullying me. Will they be dead soon? I read that nurses suffer from a lot of stress.

You should be glad you weren't here in 2008/9 then We had some fantastic men posting in the international area about how wonderful their wives were, what great nurse they were, and how they deserved jobs as soon as they go their visas

Anyone remember Red Ranger? Now, that was a psych case walking. Western women = bad women.

I would have LOVED to see that!

Ahem, search bar. That's all I'll say. :locktopic:

My Next Post:

Please help with my homework assignment which is to write an essay regarding the relationship between the PVT, Canadian Nursing, and the fact that the NCLEX is really biased against beautiful people like me who are being bullied by nurses who will not retire while working at hospitals that refuse to hire an ADN with zero work history who has not passed the NCLEX in the last ten attempts, but will surely pass this time because God is no longer punishing me for not respecting ugly people who have a higher degree, but are definitely not smarter than I is because I refuse to give narcotics to anyone once I finally get my license after I repeat some remedial training at UMoneyGoodHere nursing school.

Laughing my butt off! I think you just summed up all the annoying posts this past month in one hilarious sentence!

Ahem, search bar. That's all I'll say. :locktopic:

I gave up on him after the plastic surgery posts!
