Trigger Warning: This is a general venting thread. Toes may be stepped upon. Snowflakes may face warm temperatures. No one person is the target.
Please, fellow AN participants, make the following stop:
1) Referring to your particular work environment as 'busy'. They are ALL busy. We get it.
2) Using the word 'devastated' in regards to something that does not involve death, loss of limb, or major natural disaster.
3) Talking about the PVT- I think I speak for 99% of the million or so AN members when I say this - "Patience is a virtue"
4) Doing people's homework for them when they have made no effort beyond copy and pasting to do the work themselves.
5) Asking a complex question and, upon getting a thoughtful answer from an expert who took time and energy to compose said answer, failing to thank the stranger who took time to help you.
6) Mistaking the straight truth for bullying.
7) Mistaking an answer that differs from what you want to hear for bullying.
8) Telling experienced nurses you'd NEVER want to be like them when you have no CLUE of how their experience influenced their answer.
Yall are killing me! I personally hate the HEEELLLPPP!?!? Confused!!! Apply to JPTLQ/ROMT or BHRTG SPRING QUARTER 2019!!! ones. Although, I'd just like to never ever hear the word bulling again.
"I have applied for 100 jobs and no one will hire me! I don't understand!! I have a 4.0 GPA and was valedictorian in high school, captain of the volley ball team, deans list every year, president of the chess club, and prom queen!!! Doesn't that count for something?!?!?!"

"everybody is bullying me"
What really bugs me is when they come on and ask for advice and then when they receive said advice they don't like it and get all pissy. Then they start saying everyone is u bunch of mean old bully nurses who must treat their patients horribly.

Ah yes, the super geographically-specific posts with acronyms that only people living in that county would know, that are in the General forum are also winners...
As someone who plans to take the TEAS exam next spring and periodically checks that section...
"I need some advice on the TEAS because I have not bothered to look at previous posts with the exact same question or the articles from people who did well" or "I have failed the TEAS x number of times and need some advice on how to pass, but I won't ever tell you what I am doing now to study." I also just "love" *insert eye roll* when a poster asks the same question repeatedly within a relatively short period of time. We have read your question the other ten times and still 1) have no idea what you are talking about and are waiting for you to provide more details that another person already asked for 2) already replied to a previous post you must have not read because you were so busy basically reposting the same question 3) do not have the time, energy, or mental strength to answer your question at that exact moment (or ever).
oh yeah. Remember LPN's are just hand maidens. (sarcasm at it's finest.)
