What Kind of Threads Do You ENJOY Reading?

Published

There's an interesting thread floating around here asking what topics members hate to see. I thought I'd switch things up with one asking what types of threads we actually like to read and respond to. (Please pardon that glaring grammatical error.)

Some of my personal favorites include the articles. These are often entertaining and almost always educational. I also love the real-life stories about nurses being patients, the ones about the positives of nursing, and of course the funny ones and the WILTW threads.

Anyone care to share?

I enjoy the threads where posters get a reality check.

Life itself is a reality check. I don't believe in sarcasm and telling others with less experience off. I think that only reflects bad onto the OP of the said post. Most experienced nurses should respect newer ones and GNs , take us under your wing, not throw us under the bus.

Yes, it was ending a sentence with a preposition. I'm something of a grammar freak and I cringe whenever I do that. ;)

Not everyone was born here. Something to keep in mind. ;)

I like Game of Thrones related threads.

Haven't figured out how to relate it to nursing yet, so can't make a topic for it :yawn:

I'm gonna figure it out one day though.

Stories that show how amazing our role as a nurse is!

I love articles when nurses are venting about important issues. It inspires a lot of interesting discussion.

Also, kudos to the poster of "I know my shift is going to be a hot mess when..." It has put many a smile on my face :)

Il like the threads about nurses with tats.

I like troll cage fights. I come here for entertainment.

Are you serious Farawyn? I dislike the trolls. They lure you in with beguiling titles and maybe the first few sentences of their posts are interesting, then become so absurd that you can only hope are written by "trolls".

If that is what you mean by trolls?

Can someone please point out the glaring grammatical error? I don't see it unless it is ending the sentence with a preposition? I thought that grammar rule was flexible?

This is a thread about posts you enjoy....I get annoyed with responses that don't stick to the point of the title ;).

I understand what the thread title means. I don't know what in my response led you to the conclusion that I do not.

Hmmm?

I love the School Nurse section threads. Those folks are absolutely hilarious and so, so supportive of each other.

*curtsies*

There's a lot of love in the SN Forum. Thanks you.

I like the threads when GNs and students thank the experienced nurses for their help and guidance.

There are a few of them.

I like Game of Thrones related threads.

"Theon Greyjoy needs his wound dressed. That wound.

What would you do with the materials you have to dress his wound that are found on The Iron Isles?"

See? Easy. Nursing related.

I love the parody threads.
