Strange thing is that no one has ever heard of allnurses....that's at different work places and like when my dh was in the hospital this past week. It really really surprises me. I encourage others to log on and check us out. Whether or not they do...I don't know. The only allnurses friend that I personally know is a nurse I met here on allnurses, she posted she was moving to my town (3,000 miles away) I PM'd her, later we met and have been friends since. Our spouses are also friends. I LOVE ALLNURSES!

Honestly, no. I work with such a small group of people, and most of the time we get along great ... but I like to come here to vent, read about others' experiences, and share ideas that might be taken the wrong way in our little fishbowl.

But I have talked about AN to nurse friends that I know from school or previous jobs. There's nothing I've posted here that I'd be mortified to attach to my name. The internet isn't all that private, no matter what. Anyone who's spent 15 minutes with me IRL knows how opinionated I am, anyway!

Yes I do, but I'm the only nurse on staff. I have told a few close friends and my family.

I have mentioned it several times when I thought there was a particularly relevent thread. Never have had anyone say that they've heard of it or use it 'tho. Kind of mystifies me as this is a LARGE (50-60 people), computer-savvy group and the threads I've mentioned haven't been anything inflammatory, just pertinent to specific things we've run into over the months.

No, I don't talk about allnurses.com at work. 98% of the time I don't even talk with my partner right next to me about anything personal because it is so darn busy.

Old NM from previous job used to read AN everyday in an attempt to recognize staff. NEVER spoke of AN at that job but have at other jobs.

I put sometimes. I quite often talk to my colleagues about the subject matter. Sometimes I use at as a teaching tool because it is a good example of social learning and knowledge sharing. I also used it in one of my assignments for a Master of Education which was for the subject of Elearning, Theories and Practice. It is a site that is easy to navigate and has something for everyone involved in the care of patients either directly or indirectly. The area for improvement that I can see is that it needs to be a little more global but that could be a reflection on the culture of its origins.

Not often, but I work with a mod.
