Just another thought......how about a scholarship fund? Or a fund earmarked for books? I am sure we ALL remember the bellyaching about the cost of books..... Will expound more later!

I like the idea of special premium rates for a specific period time of enrollment. I also think that perhaps to have the opportunity to meet other members would be a lot of fun

How about a quiz contest?

On nursing? Winners recieve AllNurses prizes - pens, penlights, tegaderms?

Meeting up would be great - and with enough notice even us foreigners might be able to attend - I would love to be able to meet some of the famous names here!

How about 10 free memberships? Draw names or something?

Hi all, reduced premiums sound good as well as a tee shirt with nurses of all colours to represent the different nationalities, (you could even pop a kangaroo in or something indigenous to different regions, flag maybe) on an ark or something as nurses have been 'round since the ark that says
"We're all in this boat together...at allnurses...we help to make you count"

I know you've helped me

Coming from a poor student I love the idea of a scholarship fund. I know that this may not seem like much but this website has helped me get through school and find a job in a NICU. I think if people were able to get financial help here as well it would be totally awesome! Someone mentioned the idea of those that could afford it contributing $10 to help someone else get a premium membership. I like that idea but I think instead it would be really cool if this site had more of a sponsership type of thing. One of you seasoned nurses taking on one of us newbies and offering help, not financial, but being kind of like an off the floor preceptor. I think it would help those of us out here who may not have a great preceptor or who just feels like they need to speak with a more experienced person than they are.

Hi Kalico and others

Love the thought of having an experienced nurse sponsoring new ones like us.. Sometimes the preceptors are good, I had a lovely one as a student but are so busy..some of them are a bit scary and just intimidate you. This would be such a bonus to have someone to ask when the going gets tough. .
