The Mockery of Nursing

Published

Just a bit ago the top three threads involved:

1.I have a DWI. Can I be a nurse?

2.I am stupid. Can I be a nurse?

3.If it takes me five times to pass NCLEX, Can I be nurse.

Not much left to add. Says it all.

tolerate the horrors of dealing with kitchen appliances and thirty 13 year olds with no issues. ...

Personally, being the teacher in that situation would land me in a psych ward within a month.

That teacher is a braver woman than I. I can deal with dementia pts, blood, poop, whatever, but thirty 13 year olds--I shake in my boots at the thought. :)

Okay, so I have this silly idea that people should do their jobs, do them well, ask questions when they don't know what the hades they're doing, and expect this weird thing called "personal responsibility."
. A thread. Someone who took on a job, knowing one of the major drawbacks ahead of time, and knowing that there would be penalties if they quit. Anyone want to bet on the amount of time it takes before someone gets mad that I suggest the OP actually (shock upon shock) fulfill the obligations incurred.

that depends. are they a "really good nurse"? do they "have a calling?" are they kinder and more compassionate than their co-workers who are assumed to all be bullies because the original poster cries when she has to deal with them?

Since when did "My co-workers disapprove of my terrible work ethic and my martyr spirit, and now do not want to bother with me" become, "OMG I AM BULLIED AND I SHALL CRY ABOUT IT?!"

I think plenty of managers are in management because they disliked/ were lousy at bedside care!

it's been three to five years now. i just don't understand why "i am unprofessional and cry whenever anyone doesn't give me the proper attention and greetings" translates to "my co-workers are all mean bullies who eat their young."

I personally just don't get this. Why would you take on a job with conditions you KNEW you didn't want to take responsibility for in the first place?

Or maybe I have TOO MUCH common sense.:uhoh3:

Underlying theme of some posts in a specific sub-forum:

It's not faaaaair that my foreign education doesn't meet the requirements in . Sure, domestically educated nurses have to meet those same requirements but the nursing education in is different so it's not faaaaair and it's discrimination!

My thoughts, if posted, would get me banned.

Excuse me while I tab out to fill out my unemployment claim for last week.

What scares me even more is the number of posters who pat the poster on the head and say "There, there, you can still be a nurse." I'm a convicted axe murderer. Can I still be a nurse?
