@wuzzie I respect your point of view and it makes a lot of sense to me actually, I've thought about things I could do appearance wise, I do not wear make up and my scrubs are baggy... I do actually have womanly curves underneath... I agree walking a...

I mean to clarify she was oddly confrontational about my age and appearance, her reaction to me, it caught me off guard, and made me really nervous, I started shaking so I nicely told her that her comments made me nervous (probably should have used t...

I didnt go into detail but the gyst is she was very rude basically calling me incompetent because of my appearance and age. Ive done the brush of before saying how oh ill like when im older, but she had a very toxic and anxious energy the way she was...

It's really hard for me to gage what's important for them to know or not know, I'm just trying to impress but If they think that's boring then... should I just leave it to 2 bullet points per clinical experience and then add 1 bullet point for my pre...

CanadianRN16 - Thank you for the words of encouragement! I'll apply to be a member of the RPNAO and add that in, I don't now why I didn't think of that!

nursevickis, My faith in humanity restored by your comment... It seems people on here think a thread about a young nurse's suicide is the perfect place and opportunity to complain about young nurses in general, zero tact.

I wont say much more. I didn't really want a back and forth I just wanted to state my POV but maybe my wording was too aggressive I'm not sure. One last thing, I feel like we should leave this in a positive note, so I have open questions to ALL. Sin...

Why do you think I'm speaking in to you or any of you directly like your the bad guys? I'm just trying to have a discussion I don't understand why any of you are taking it as a personal insult, If it's something you already know than good for you... ...

Ruby Vee "Fourth, you seem to misunderstand workplace relationships. I personally don't know of any experienced nurses who make a practice of being ruthless with new nurses. I have seen an experienced nurse or two be ruthless with new nurses who ma...

Saying something is harder does not make the thing i'm comparing it to easy, Just harder... economically in a lot of ways it is right now, generally speaking outside of anecdotal personal experience. There is a lot of stats online about this very top...

Ok but your making this too personal. I did as well i apologize. I appreciate that you precept. I knew a couple of classmates that wanted to go straight to NP no breaks. I mean everyone has there own path either theyll get a reality check or theyll ...

I mean I didn't want to get into what generation had it harder, obviously people have had it hard in any day and age but I will defend my generation against condescending remarks from mainly your generation, that we we have it easy and this whole cod...

Quote Ruby Vee "You find what you look for. The fact that you seem to find so much passive aggressiveness, anger, nastiness and bullying says way more about YOU and what you look for in your interactions than it does about the people you encount...

I mean I think a lot of your are missing out on a important discussion regarding suicide and depression. Yes the OP used a poor choice of words referring it to a trend that can be observed statistically among new nurses. So everyone's jumping on that...
