What does your username mean?

[LifesAJourney]

Let's do something fun! Everybody on allnurses.com has a very interesting and unique username. What is the back story of your username? Mine is just like it states, "Life's a Journey!"

[lilredrunner]

I'm a redhead. One of my favorite songs is a song sung by Sam Cooke called "Little Red Rooster", wherein a rooster keeps everyone in the barnyard upset in every way, and is too lazy to crow for day.

The runner part is because I'm a runner.

Lil' bit of sugar, Sugar.

OK, really, the sugar diabetes.

[Whoatemyburger]

That I'm a young female Latin Medsurg nurse :-)

[Thundernoob]

Well my Priest ( healer type ) in World of Warcraft was named Thundernoob, actually I think that's why I wanted to go into the medical field in the first place lol I did always play healers in MMOs

[Blue Roses]

When I was in high school we were studying Tennessee Williams, who is a classic American playwright. We read The Glass Menagerie, and I came to identify with one of the characters, Laura Wingfield. Her nickname, given to her by her potential love interest in the play, was Blue Roses.

[T-Bird78]

Nothing fancy, I had an imaginary friend as a kid who called me T-Bird since none of my real friends did. I've just always kinda liked that for a nickname. Even now as an adult I don't have a nickname!

[Do-over, ASN, RN]

I'd been wondering, but was too embarrassed to ask...

[Leonca]

In high school I went through a period where I thought Spanish words were really neat. I took the Spanish for lioness, leona, and added a c to create a name that would have a chance at being distinct online.

[vintagemother, BSN, CNA, LVN, RN]

Vintagemother... Because I felt like an old mom. Indeed I am an "old soul" and tend to have characteristics of the "older" generation. (My chronological age was actually quite young....30. But I felt like an old mom)

When I started the path to become a nurse, I had one child on high school, 1 in middle school and 1 about to start kindergarten.

I wondered if I was too old because of my responsibilities to my family.

But I learned that I wasn't too old. I'm not too old.

I'm now an LVN and have 1 child in college and another in high school and I'm still going to school to become an RN.

I now know I'm not too old, even now.

[Cream and sugar LPN]

Well, I wish it was something meaningful or even quirky and interesting. It's just how I take my coffee, which is usually in my hands way to often as I scroll through AN's threads!

[AFmedRN2be, BSN, RN, EMT-B]

Well mine is pretty easy. ." AFmedRN2be" I'm a medic in the United States Air Force, and I just recently applied to my schools BSN program.
