I realize some of you may thing this may be stupid, but while I have been here since 98' I really don't know any of you? We sit here and discuss things, vent, sometimes I have seen each other cut others down for no apparent reason. The names listed in the subject heading, just happened to be a few of the people that I most commonly see post, or end up in discussions with. there are many others, like Mustangsheba, etc.

What I thought might be a good idea (and I'm sure I'll be ridiculed and labasted with sarcasm for this one), was for the people that post or come here reguularly, to get o know each other a little better. Kinda of like intros? Since we seem to be bopping around the same issues and posts?

I'll start?

My real name is Sherry but I am called "Duckie" or "Aunt Duckie" by nearly everyone. I am 44, one daughter, age 26. Have 3 "furry" kids and am married the second time for nearly 9 years. Rick, are you familiar with St. John's Hospital in Cleveland? I was born there and then 17 1/2 years later my daughter was born there. Great idea for a post. There are a lot of great folks on this board, it's nice to look beyond a "Username".

Hi Rick!

My name is Kelly. I'm an RN,BSN. I'm originally from Fairview Pennslyvania(near Erie, PA) and moved to Conneaut Ohio 2 yrs ago when I got married. Conneaut is only 75 miles or so away from Cleveland. I've worked in a nursing home and a med-surg floor. Currently, I work on a medical telemetry floor. I would really love to work on a labor and delivery floor or mother baby unit but since I have no experience in this area, I haven't been able to get any positions on such a unit. My hobbies include sleeping and working. Working isn't exactly a chosen hobby but since I get mandated overtime right and left, I don't have time for much else. I do like to read though. Eventually, I plan on having some kids. I'm 28 years old and am a Leo.

Kelly and Sherry,

1st Sherry, yes I know where St. Johns west shore is......been there twice. It seems like a real nice place, never worked ther though.

2nd Kelly, yes I know where Conneout (spelling) is located. I drive through there quite a few times a year. Also know the Erie area, as my inlaws are from Buffalo.

I head to Pennsylvania to go fishing, hunting etc. Usually, up around the Tionesta area. I usally turn right on Rte 6 and take that to Meadville, then take 27 through Titusville. I know the whole area well.

Nice to meet you both....still amazed at the responses after all the bashing I have seen in here the last few weeks.

Rick,

This was a great idea! I decided to create a seaparte forum for off topic (non-nursing discussion) discussion at:

https://allnurses.com/pl.cgi?offtopic

Everyone can use this forum to get to know some of the other BB users out there. This is the spot for off-topic (non-Nursing related) talk. Please keep things pleasant... abusive behavior will not be tolerated!

I hope everyone likes this idea.

BTW, here is a little info on me:

I got my ADN in 1995, at that time, hospitals in Minnesota wouldnt touch new-grads, so I got a job at a nursing home, which I really enjoyed, after about a year, they talked me into being Evening Supervisor at the NH. About six months latter, I got a job CCU at HCMC in Minnesota and worked there for a few years. I loved working CCU, but allnurses.com was growing and demanding more and more time, now, I run allnurses.com full-time wink.gif Married, with 3 kids
