Student Nurse "Help me!" Threads

Published

I think I'm done answering student nurse help me threads here.

I've gotten rude answers, or they never even bother coming back to the thread to acknowledge the answers they received.

Some will ask life choice questions like "Where should I move?" or "Where should I apply?". Do they think someone is going to offer them a job here, is that why they start these threads? You have the whole internet to research towns, cities, regions, but instead you post a thread asking a bunch of strangers where you should move?

Some help me threads seem to be 'Help me do my homework' threads.

Thank you for reading.

If JC ever comes and asks for my P&P, I'll probably fall to the floor quaking in fear.

Oh, you didn't mean Jesus Christ. Never mind.

Either way, take a deep breath & say, "the binder is here on the shelf, or I can look it up online." :yes:

I won, I won! On the Internet!!! I personally think it was my strategic use of all caps! Never mind that the same suggestion was given by about 10 people...

You still win, because everyone on the internet is special and unique.

Everything you post is original, no matter how many times it's been posted before.

Thats the magic of the internet!

I agree with you on this point...however this is a unit culture problem, not a "crusty old bat" problem.

Or it's not unit culture, it's just this particular person can't get along with others. Of course, as charming as she is on here, I just can't imagine her having trouble getting along with people...

I just snorted into my tea. Thanks for that.

Oh you are gonna so regret using your real name and photo![/quote']

Yup. Quick google search and I know her real name and place of employment. And her Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram and other online personas. Sad that youth is so trusting; guess it takes maturity to realize idealism does not exist in the workplace ;)

Wow. I did the same thing just now. That was way too easy. Yikes.

This is one of those situations where, if I was a mod, I would seriously consider banning her current username just to save her from herself.

Because my Pinterest, Twitter, and Instagram are so incriminating.

You don't think my employer researched me thoroughly before hiring me? Come on. If there was something to see, I doubt I'd hardly have my position.

Nobody is saying you are interesting. Just that it's all fair game for everyone to see.

Oh please sarahrnay! Let us old, crabby, mean nurses have some fun! For Pete's sake! We work way too hard and take way too much from people. We need to just laugh once in a while ;)

Back to the OP's intention:

"Where can I find a place to work? I mean, I took the NCLEX 7 times, my GPS is 2.91, and I'm unwilling to move-- why is this so hard??? :-("

Ok. I know. I'm being kind of mean. I admit it. But I have had quite a week and I deserve a little lenience. Thank you.
