Why are some people on here so rude?

Published

I'm a pre nursing student and I asked like 7 questions and people have been on my back.

Now what is the point of that?

I even asked a question about being depressed and being in school and someone told me to quit complaining (we're going to assume that this person is in the field and not some troll)

But why?

Why bring down someone who is just trying to make better of their life?

Some people are rude because people ask questions that could be solved with a simple google search, or simply searching AllNurses itself. Also, a lot of people tend to ask questions that only their school could possibly have the answer for.

And while sometimes people don't use a lot of words to point this out, that doesn't mean they're being rude. They're just answering your question in a succinct way.

And some people want you to do their homework for them. I did my homework when I was in school, I don't want to do yours for you.

I haven't gotten through all the threads,but I would like to just add a little something. I personally like a good debate because it really challenges my personal thinking. Sometimes we are set in our ways and it's good to hear other's ideas. I appreciate when someone challenges the way I think because sometimes were not always right like we think we are. If we put down our defensiveness and realize that others are not always in the wrong and we're not always in the right we can learn some very good things. I have learned a LOT on AN. There are some with very good insight that you can learn from if you'll step back and listen and just give it a little thought. Why does anyone come on here and post and expect everyone to agree?

Ps. By the way these are my favorite threads. When I read the title I went woo hoo!!

The OP came here simply stating she was "depressed" ok. It has gona as far as thicker skin, google it, I've lost track. God forbid some of you nurses treat your pt's like this? That is why I said I'd have to wonder what mental condition you would be in if acting out like this to others. SOME might think it's ok to play, give hard tuff it UP advice.. this isn't boot camp people!

If she seems sensitive why nit be gentle and treat her with respect and give professional advise you don't need to be a Nurse Rachette for Petes sake..

Btw, I'm the one that was insulted multiple times even after I made it VERY clear English is not my first language.

I won't engage to those who find this entertianing.

It's mean.

This thread has been reported numerous times for straying off-topic and for name-calling and general insulting or borderline comments.

Yes the Moderators and Administrators could close the thread down.

Yes we could slap a few hands.

However, we overwhelmingly prefer the adults who post here moderate their own behavior, by fashioning posts that adhere to the Terms of Service.

There is an ignore feature, search it out in the Dashboard (click on your name, top right above) and if someone's posts irritate you no end (it happens), then place them on ignore.

Or if a thread gets under your skin, step away and leave it alone for a day or two or a week or maybe forever.

If members are unable to self-moderate, yes we will step in and take action.

Thanks for your attention.

Well for those of you who don't like the type of stuff on these boards this is another good quote

"Be the change you wish to see in the world" -Gandhi

Nurses should be advocates and leaders..post topics you want to read and encourage congeniality by acting that way imo.

I feel like taking this on.I went back and reviewed a number of your posts .Let's talk about the "depression" thread.I think that struck a chord because it truly sounds immature,like something a teenager would say.You have the blues because things are not moving as fast as you wish.You are not clinically depressed.You are in a great position to work hard,save some money and prepare.You should be proud of yourself.Which brings me to the "jealous friends" thread.Again,really comes off as very immature.Be proud of all you are accomplishing.You sound like the jealous one because your friends are "copying "you.Be the BEST you can be,forget about every one.

Lastly,Have you considered you may be on the autism spectrum?You do seem a bit socially awkward and I do see the trend in the responses to your posts.I am betting this happens in life and I am sure it will continue through nursing school.A little counseling can teach you better communication skills and if you are diagnosed you can learn a lot to improve things for you.Good Luck

The drama on this forum is crazy. Absolutely insane. It's better to not feed into it. I feel like I'm in middle school and everyone's period's synced.

Yes, I remember your the one who thinks teenage drinking and driving is ok because they are going to do it anyway.

Sorry if I don't put much validity into a person who has those views.
