Or you can become a premium member and gain instant access to chat without meeting the above criteria.

I have been coming to the allnurses chat room for a couple of months now.. I really enjoy talking with other nurses. I am a true "techno peasant" and not very knowledgeable in computers. Hope I can figure out how to "post" so that I can continue to come to the chat room!!!!

Hi, i am also a new member, and i must say i have enjoyed chatting to friends i have met online. I am a 2nd year nursing student from Jamaica. I have gotten alot of help from nurses on this site and we have become great friends. I would love to chat with you, welcome to allnurses. Take care

I too have been coming to the chatroom for awhile noe so I am posting in order to keep up with the privelege.

[edchunt]

I'm making posts but I must be in the wrong category. i would like to be able to open the chatroom. what do Ineed to do now?

[edchunt]

I must not be posting correctly, I am not able to get into chat and I really enjoy chatting, i am becoming slightly frustrated and getting tired. I keep trying to logon but I am having 0 luck

[edchunt]

Maybe i misunderstood . Is it that I need to be premium and have 15 posts and be registered for more than two days or what am i doing wrong?

[brian]

No you do not have to be premium, but you do have to have over 15 post. The system will update your account within 24 hours of you reaching your 15 post limit.

Please make sure your post are contributing in nature, not just simple little post to boost your post count. The idea is that you share or give something to the community, in order to gain access. It is also to limit trolls and recruiters from registering and abusing the chat room.

Hope that helps.

I like the new criteria. I have noticed a few trolls in the chat room. This will keep a few of the ones that I have seen out!!.

I am very sad, i have only visited the chat room a few times but i really enjoyed being able to talk to other nurses about my day, or just everyday stuff. it is sad that a bad seed had to ruin things for everyone
