FLAME ON!

[trinitymaster]

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.

The interview tips!

Geesh there are pages of threads related to interview questions, but always.....interview tips for whatever specialty.

My state board there are about 40 threads of " I want to move to Oregon in the next __months, can you guarantee I will have a job"

1)Don't become a LPN

2)If you fail the NCLEX then you should be given a LPN license

3)All nurses in their 20's are self entitled spoiled brats

Or move. Or do night shift. Or work PRN. Or work anywhere​ other than a hospital.

"My best friend in nursing school failed the NCLEX seven times, but she should get an eight chance cause she's just a bad test taker and would be an awesome nurse because she's such a caring and loving person...."

Any topic that turns into a ADN vs BSN war.

People who take offense at everything.

Dude, if you don't do what we're complaining about, don't worry about it.

We aren't talking about you then, are we????

CNA's who bash nurses as "lazy" because the nurse delegates tasks that are well within the scope of an aide.

There is a reason why you are the nurse's aide!!!!

Or things like:

"Well, I'm a just a nursing student and even I know about xyz. I will never be soooo stupid/lazy when I am a nurse! Shame on that nurse! I have a 4.0 and my instructor told me... blah blah BLAH!!!!"

"I'm hiding in the linen closet, right now, so I can ask on an anonymous board, 'Did I just kill my patient? I just don't know what to doooooooo... I just gave my patient three times as much insulin as I should have. Will my patient be okay? What would you do? Heeeeeelp!!!!! I need answers ASAP!!!!'"

"I made direct eye contact with a clean sharp that was ten feet across the room... should I be worried? Do I have AIDS?"

And finally, the ever pressing question...

"Is nursing right for me?"

Hahaha! Most of this is hilarious.

But jeez guys.

Is ANYTHING OKAY to post on this board that isn't going to be dragged through the criticism grinder?

Stop bullying me.

[BrandonLPN, LPN]

"An RN with a BSN is better at performing bedside nursing than an ADN prepared RN because of the additional classes taken. A BSN isn't just needed for advanced care settings, that extra education is applicable in all cases. Anyone who thinks otherwise in anti-intellectual."

Same poster, 15 minutes later in another thread.....

"A Nurse Practitioner is just as capable as an MD in providing routine primary care. The extra education and training one receives in medical school in not applicable at this level."

Ooooh, now we can bust on you for stepping on a vent thread

[Libby1987]

Here's another..

!!!!!!!!

From a nurse who's been trained to death to document objectively that looks like silly nonsense that my daughter hasn't done since HS coming from a nurse or student nurse. Even if it is a vent, it looks like drama to me.
