We have all heard some wise advice on Allnurses, or the perfect quote, or just "the sentence that sums it all up" for you.
I think my favorite is this:
"You shouldn't have to learn your (nursing) job from youtube."
This statement was in response to a new grad who'd lost her first job, and was now trying to polish her skills - partly through youtube videos. This response just cracked me up!
How about you? What's the wisest thing YOU'VE ever heard on Allnurses?
I don't have a specific quote but want to give credit to Bortaz for sharing about his family member. I saw a whole community of caring people supporting not just an AN member, but by doing this supported not just the child but the entire family. So perhaps the wisest thing I have learned is how strong a bond ANers have and what that strength is capable of doing in a positive manner.
Liddle...I actually wondered if that was how you intended it after the fact. The sad truth is that the nursing faculty shortage means there is a lot of very expensive but very poor instruction going on out there. YouTube is a great resource, but no one should have to rely on it in lieu of quality education, it should be viewed as a supplement.

My mother always used to remind me that "should" didn't always mean "did." Sadly she was right!

And god bless you all for your support. She's doing great, getting ready for school to start. :)
I saw this as someones signature here on allnurses and thought it was one of the wisest and funniest things I had ever heard! Never saw the article attached to it. And by VivaLasviejas no less! One of my favorite posters!

Hehe I'm witty and I know it.
For those who said that they learned skills from youtube thats great you used it as a resource but for a director of nursing to refer it to a new grad and then show her the door... thats a little ridiculous.
Sadly she was right!
