Why are some people on here so rude?

[Upward_Bound]

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?

I think that just like anywhere you will find all types of people on here. But I try to just take what I can and leave the rest, sometimes people have come off rude at first but when I thought about it I realized they were just being honest and I actually learn a lot from people on here.. Even the ones who don't hold back lol. But if you have issues with people being rude just to be rude.. Ignore em. They may be having a bad day,. Or maybe they're just like that, to everyone,

I agree. My first post on here was not a great experience all because I did not come up front with saying I was a Health Studies major and it was first post. Everyone jumped my case about it and my post was deleted even though it was a topic I was very interested in learning about, plus it was for a class project. Don't worry about those people. Stay positive! (:

It wasn't deleted. It was moved to the prenursing forum

Keep in mind that AN is a form of written communication. You do not have the intonation to determine intent of the response. Yeah people will say get over it. Every nurse here has gone through nursing school and understands how difficult it is. For me, I don't care for whiners. I tell my students the same thing. I don't do well with whining patients either. When you find yourself in a situation, you must work on getting out of it. If that means you go to a therapist or to a practitioner for medications, that's what it means. I tell my students, if you come to be with a problem, have two alternative ways in which to deal with the problem. The same with their reading/homework…what other materials did you access to find the answer? It's not being mean- it's teaching people how to problem solve on their own, which I sadly find many do not know how to do.

There is a difference in someone being a bully and someone being honest. The people who typically cry that someone is being a bully is someone who doesn't want to hear the truth or wants someone to validate them and tell them they are right.

I understand what you're saying to a point. There really are people who come on here and want everyone to agree with them, this frustrates me to no end. But there are people looking for legitimate advice and who are open to opposing view points-these are the people I'm talking about! Some comments toward that person are sensible, knowledgeable, and great talking points. Then you have the other side of the fence-those who are always snarky, mean and say unhelpful things. That's not fair or healthy. For nurses who always talking about the **** y'all have to put up with in the hospital and healthcare as a whole, y'all sure get very "confident" over the internet. I've spent close to a year volunteering at a major hospital in Florida, on the floor I was one very week, there was all of two nasty nurses, some like on here, and one horrible float nurse, but the vast majority of the males and females nurses were professional, considerate, and helpful. No, I'm not a nurse. And no I'm not a nursing student yet. I'm on my last year of prerequisites, but I can say, if the nurses I met around the hospital (since I was sent on a lot of errands) were majority anything like some posters on here...... Well I might have decided to change my major long time ago. Criticism is needed as professional individual because it acts as a stabilizer between appropriate and inappropriate behavior. So, I'll shoot back and give my own criticism: Some of the nurses, not all, seem to be mean spritied people in their personal lives. Advice can be given without snark and degradation. I won't allow my supervisor to speak to me like that and I won't allow for anonymous people on a board to as well. I upvote any comments I at least 80% agree on and move along. I've learned a lot from these boards in which I'm forever grateful for, when speaking to my other pre-nursing friends I realize how much nursing is going to be a wake up call for them. P.S forgive any of my spelling or grammar mistakes in my posts; I'm typing on a phone whose screen cracked a week ago.

I have absolutely no idea what the heck this says.

Does the NP after your name mean you are a Nurse Practitioner? Is this English?
