I guess I don't understand all the group anger directed at this poor misinformed CNA. Sounds like she mostly just needs information. I've worked in facilities where we have to beg for appropriate PPE in order to safely care for our patients. Too many facilities dodge their respponsibilities, IME.

If someone here bugs some of ya'll so much..why not just ignore them? Why the repetitive insults and put downs? In group mobbing fashion. I'm seeing a lot of this here lately on allnurses and it ain't pretty. JMHO.

With all due respect Mattsmom...the posts have all been edited by this poor misinformed CNA, as you put it. Yes it looks as if there is a lot of put down commentary, but the original posts were disturbing and just plain stupid. And yes, there is such a thing as a stupid question.

well I dont partake in needless flaming of anyone but this poster has said a lot of nasty little tidbits, guess you must have missed them...

misinformation is one thing

downright ignorance is another

this poor misinformed CNA as you put it has sputtered some real hatred out along these boards

and now its been convienently removed by said poster, so yes , those of us who responded are human, capable of anger and other negative emotions, sure its fun to take the moral highground but when someone comes around just for the sheer joy of insulting you and your lifes work you are allowed to get a lil angry...

I love how some ppl figure that there is always a group out to attack innocent posters

I am part of no group

I was expressing my own individual anger at that CRAP that I was reading...

in a grown up real world we do not have an ignore feature , we take it upon ourselves to ignore ppl, or respond, either way its a choice

you choose to ignore, and in this case I didnt..

I think it would be fairer if you had seen all sides to the story , but you're entitled to your opinion just like the rest of us are mattsmom -and you know thats not meant to come out insulting because you know from all my posts that I have a huge amount of respect for you and the work you do...

I think this is what the OP wanted. LOTS of attention, negative or positive. Most kids do.

Sigh...yet another candidate for the "ignore" feature.

What is this ignore feature you all speak of??

fab4fan · Jan 10, 2003

At the top of the screen, click on "user cp". It will give you edit options, including "Ignore". Click on ignore, type in who you want to ignore...there you have it.

And so I won't see post by this person even if they didn't start a thread? :confused: Thanks fab4fan!
