THEM: "I graduated x months ago and I STILL can't get a job in L.A.!!"
ME: "Have you considered that there IS a world outside of California?"

That's my source of contention as well. Hello! Nursing is so versatile. There's so many unfilled, entry-level nursing jobs out there if you're willing to move and take a chance in another location.
"My [online] ADN to BSN is just as good as your brick and mortar degree!"
So we heard. And thou dost protest too much.
If your entire ego and self-worth is tied up in denying that you actually, kinda, sorta feel a little insecure about your online BSN, for the love of all that is lovable, go get a Master's in something brick and mortar and let's hear the end of it.
Did I pass? you must know if I passed because you passed. Why wont you tell me if I passed? Don't you care if I passed? I can not possibly wait 48 hours, I will surely die. Don't you care if I die? TELL ME IF I PASSED!!
And the new wall of shame from relatively recently: Why do nurses have to be licensed? Isnt school enough?
I admit a peeve of mine are threads titled such as "I hate lazy nurses!". There was a recent one and I didn't respond. I get indignant when I read "About to take the NCLEX!!!!! HELP!!!" or just threads titled "HELP MEEEE!"
Like, call 911 if it's that bad!! How can anyone on a forum actually help a HEELLLLPPP!!!! It also sounds, I dunno, kind of demanding. "You need to heelllppp me!!!" I do? How interesting. And annoying. If you need HHEEELLLPPPP!!!! call an ambulance. If you need consolation, advice, or feedback, just ask for it :) No problemo.

Love it when people don't get the answer they want then say it's bullying. Then some genius jumps in with "where's your empathy as a nurse" abs proceed to act like a saint.
Honey, you're not my patient. Nurses can be snarky if they want to be, and contrary to belief, we're not required to be mother Teresa 24/7.
