from angelchick - Hi all you wonderful people out there! :heartbeat I was truely blessed when I "stumbled" across "allnurses". I have only been a member for maybe 2 months now and I spend at least an hour a day on here! The posts and articles have been heartfelt, educational, and sometimes humourous! :D
I am a second year nursing student and I am sure I will be...

from SICU Queen - I stumbled across Allnurses.com in January of 2002. Since then, it has proven itself over and over again to be an extremely valuable resource. There is always someone online, and even in the middle of the night it's super easy to get questions answered. The expertise and professionalism of many of the nurses on here is superb.
This is also a...

from cotjockey - allnurses has been my “saving grace” more than once in the past few years! When I was working at the hospital, which was honestly the “best” job I’ve ever had, other nurses provided a lot of support and humor and advice when things got rough. It was always a blessing to be able to come here and talk with other people who knew where I was coming...

from maelstrom143 - I love allnurses.com!
I have been a member for several years and can always find an answer to my questions on this site. Not only does it offer resources and information, but is also a great source of inspiration and encouragement. The people that are a part of this site are insightful and full of knowledge and they do not mind sharing that...

from nursemike - Well, that title might be just a tad bit exaggerated. I do that, sometimes.
But I discovered allnurses as a first year student with severe anxiety on a good day and panic on an intermittent, but frequent basis. I feel blessed to have found it when I did, for the insights from more experienced nurses and the commiseration from others in my...

from nyapa - AN was here when I was going through a particularly hard time at work as an Enrolled Nurse. OK, so I am from Down Under, but people were here, people who understood, people who cared. Nursing is international and universal.
You have the opportunity to reciprocate, to share knowledge, to learn. Many of the specialty sites have great resources...

from DutchgirlRN - To my good fortune I happened upon allnurses.com one night while searching for some information about an IV medication. What I found was not only all the information I needed about reconstituting that medication but also a vast treasure trove of information on anything pertaining to nurses and nursing. If by chance you cannot find something, you...

from janhetherington - I really enjoy this site!! I've asked and answered many questions and heard from nurses all over the country and even the world. Nurses feel free to open up and share their embarassing, depressing and uplifting stories from all walks of nursing. It's very broadening to hear from others who hold different points of view, and very comfortiing...

from Grace Oz - ............. Because there is allnurses! :an!::::luvnltr:
Several years ago I happened across a fledgling nursing website.
'Ah, damn yankee stuff!'; murmured me to myself.
However, being the nosey coot that I am, I decided to check "this mob" out. Afterall, us Aussies and the yanks are allies and fought in wars together. They graciously...

from LPN,RNNow - Allnurses.com was here when I was trying to decide what to do. From being a LPN to encouraging me to get my RN, and through NCLEX-RN, and now as DON for a LTC. Allnurses has been here for me through it all.
Anytime I have a question or need to talk something out, I know that I can get on Allnurses and someone will be online to help me come up...

from Katnip - I found Allnurses when I was a mid-life nursing student.
I honestly say that I've met some of the most incredible, wonderful people here. I've gotten help not just as a nurse and a student, but when my 18-year-old son died I received a lot of support that I needed. It was in the wee hours of the morning when we were told-too early to tell...

from Franemtnurse - Loving to laugh, I was surfing the web looking for some nursing jokes, when a link to Allnurses popped up. Wanting to satisfy my curiosity, I decided to click on the link. What I found was awesome. I signed up right away, and have been a member of Allnurses since that very first day of June 7, 2002.
I have made many friends since then, and...

from donsterRN - I found allnurses.com by accident one day several years ago while researching nursing schools. Somehow, though I found what I needed, I returned to the site time and time again. OK, it's safer (and more honest!) to say that I never left. I've met some of the most amazing people here who have guided me, advised me, admonished me and suported me...

from CametoitlateTexan - I found allnurses.com before I started in nursing school. I have returned time and time again since then. I have found friends and colleagues here. I have found terrific study resources here. I have made career shoices based on the information I have found here.
I would label this site as invaluable. I visit several times a day.
Thank you...

from Angie O'Plasty, RN - I was a nurse's aide in the 1970's and worked evening shift in LTC.
We'd finish getting patients bathed and put to bed, and we'd have a smoke at the nurse's station and listen to the experienced nurses talk. They'd discuss the patients, the politics, the horror stories, the funny stories, nursing school and things like whether or not nurses...

from Liddle Noodnik - Ok maybe a 49 y.o. woman shouldn't use the expression, that something "ROCKS" - but what else can ya say? Great? Useful? Invaluable?
I've been a member for some time. My personal experience with Allnurses has always been positive. When I first joined, I was in a nearly impossible work situation. I'd chosen a field that was QUITE over my...

from CHATSDALE - it is a blessing to have a home site to come home to, where there are people who know what your problems are because they have walked in your shoes...who can advise you when to stand up and be heard at work and when it would be wiser to step back for a minute
there is always someone with a new point of view or a different slant to an old...

from dsoginer - I'll admit it; I'm addicted. I'm addicted to allnurses.com. After Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and Mississippi, I found myself questioning my job helping to make even more money for a company that did not reap nor did it sow. I ached to help with more than gutting relatives homes and wiping away tears of 80+ year old aunts who lost...

from puggymae - I always recommend this site to my students. I do not make it a requirement that they join but I include it on my course Syllabus as a valuable resource.
I have gotten great feedback from those who do use the site. Reading posts in the student nurses forum makes them realize that our school is and school policy is very much like all the...

As someone who interacts professionally with countless nurses and/or nursing students each year, this site provides much valuable information - for myself as well as those I interact with. It's a great way to keep up with important nursing news, and a great place to share and support others in the field. And as...

from Newandconfused - I am also new to this site. I love to read the postings before I go to work. It makes me feel like nurses really are united and not everyone behaves the way many of my co-workers do. Now if I could only figure out a way to take everyone here with me to work :)
