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.

This thread has gotten out of hand with rude and divisive posts attacking and insulting groups of people based on gender, race, religious affiliation, experience, age, etc, etc, etc.....
