Repetitious Threads & Recycled Reponses

Published

Specializes in Psych (25 years), Medical (15 years).

With any process which has been witnessed a vast number of times, we can factor in typical variables and foresee the probable probable outcomes.

So it is with responses on this well-trafficked forum. Through the years, it has been noted that numerous thread topics repetitively recycle, as do the responses.

Here's a few examples of situations and responses:

Personality problem with a patient and/or family member? "They're just being jerks, you're good, they're bad, just apathetically have empathy for them and remember to CYA by objectively charting that they were acting like jerks."

Problem with your job? "Quit ASAP and have another one lined up, but don't burn any bridges, because that might come back to bite you in the butt."

Problem with a coworker? "Confront that coworker by ignoring them, and report their behavior to the manager, but don't be a tattletale because nobody likes a tattletale."

Problem with a superior? "Report them to HR who won't do anything about it because they're on administration's side, so see Problems with your job?"

"Well, you say you've only been working as a nurse for five minutes, so I'd give it five more minutes (because a hero is one who hung on for five minutes more than the celebrity) and try different areas in this wide field of nursing, and you could always work in psych where all the wash out and burned out nurses go."

I am being bullied.  In fact, your lack of inclusivity by excluding this topic is just one example.

Can you- virtual strangers from around the world- please tell me what my home state BON/school/employers' policies are for (fill-in-the blank)?

"Now I am being bullied by a bullied victim and will take the criticism of my insensitivity personally and in return, attempt to locate the Achille's tendon so that the bullied victim will fall flat on their face, feel the pain of my slings and arrows, thereby undergoing a profound revelation that I am right and they are wrong, I am good and they are bad."

"We seasoned nurses can tell you exactly what your home state BON/school/employer's policies are, but first you have to go through a hazing where we belittle you in order to elevate our own low self-esteem, okay?"

"You seasoned nurses are attention-seeking COBs who eat your young and don't give me what I want (like Likes) and I'll be glad when you all retire so we Snowflakes (who are sensitive to the needs of ourselves) will make this world the way it's SUPPPOSED to be!"

"You seasoned nurses think you're so clever, being competent at your job all the while having fun near those of us who merely require a magic pill for our mayday from a plane that's already crashed into the mountain!"
