Special Snowflake!

If I hear that phrase here one more time, I might have to slap you in the forehead. Stop. Please.

I will not accept that Snowflakes and COBs are the only options. There must be a happy medium in there somewhere.

Well, the sad fact is that I'm probably the worst of all worlds, THE HYBRID!

As a current student who has a long, long time to reach the level of knowledge and expertise as most nurses on here, I have to say that I hate when that phrase is used to generalize all student nurses/new grads. I know a lot of us act like know-it-all brats, but we're not all that way

Actually, snowflakes are very special. Each one is unique. Have you ever seen one under a microscope? I thought not.

[JBudd, MSN]

let's see... special snowflake,

to crusty snowflake,

to specialized bat,

to crusty bat,

which gives enough time to become......

a special crusty OLD bat!

[Lev, MSN, RN, NP]

Can snowflakes be crusty?

[JBudd, MSN]

never been in a freezing storm where even the snowflakes become rock hard and icy?

(found at times in those NETY type break rooms, heh heh heh)

Dogen, you're old.

And bald, apparently.

All Special Snowflakes think they have Bat superpowers. Then they melt.

What exactly does that look like?

'But I don't think you understand that I actually am the specialist and the crustiest and the oldest and the battiest.'

Sounds like the crusty old velociraptor mentioned a couple of weeks ago.

I have to make an admission.

I've seen the snowflake term tossed around here a few times. I actually thought it was one person's nickname. As in, everyone was talking to this one person who seemed to really annoy everyone.

After reading this thread I get it now. Gee, I can be so dense sometimes.

But I agree, there should be more than just snowflake and COB. I mean, already, we're leaving out the "Higher Calling" people. Or are they just a different variation of the snowflake? An especially white and pure snowflake? And what about the Diva's? The ones who make comments like "I did NOT make a mistake, you're just threatened because I'm so much prettier than you!". Or are they just a variation of the snowflake too?

This is getting too complicated. See why I was confused?
