addicted to allnurses

I used to be addicted. Just because I have over 20,000 posts doesn't mean I don't have control of my problem. I can stop anytime I want to.

Seriously, I enjoy this site, and learn something every day.

This is an awesome site, I only have 400 some posts so not as talkative as some.

I like to sit in the chat room when I have some time, I love talking to the students as well as those with experience.

it is addictive. But like any other, you have to TRY to control the cravings. LOL

But at least its a healthy addiction and doesnt really do anything but maybe put a few pounds and inches on as you sit in front of the monitor.

Prudent usage is a positive health factor.

I don't post as much, been on since 1 1/2 years ago and only 404 posts, but I do have this as my home page. Its been great listening to others going through alot of the same stuff I have. Even other co-workers have been here as well. This is a great site!

me too! But it's the summer and I have nothing else to do, so I justify it with that:lol2:

Perhaps we should start a support group on this forum, then we have a really good excuse for checking it all the time??!!!

Ya know, on one hand, I love this forum sooooo much that I wish every nurse and nursing student knew about it. But then again, I found myself not sharing this website with ay of my fellow students. Hmmmm.....

I'm with you. I absolutely adore allnurses.com. Maybe one day, you'll see a little Gamecock avatar (?) under my name.

Thanks to everybody for the enlightenment. I quess this is a very positive addition. I have told many people about this at school (where I tutor student nurses) and work and the response I mostly get is "when I am off work I don't do anything nursey" so one of the things I love about you guys is that you don't stop being nurses when you are off work. There's a real love for the profession and all it embraces. Thanks for being there.:monkeydance:

"when I am off work I don't do anything nursey"

it's not just that i love allnurses, i love everything to do with nursing!

i was just proclaiming my love of this site yesterday to my boyfriend, as i told him, i really feel like i have an advantage over other new nurses having known about this site...the student stuff, the NCLEX info, what to expect in the first year of nursing, and what experienced pros encounter everyday...i love it. of course he said something like 'der, well you might be surprised...' that's why i love this site, you guys know what i mean, right?

i just found out about allnurses about a week ago & i'm already addicted too! i have LOTS of free time at work, which i spend meandering around the site. i don't comment/post too much, but i feel like i've learned SO MUCH about nursing school & nursing just since i've found this website.

Hi! My name is Chadash, and I am a allnursaholic.

Really, allnurses has been a source of (can I say this) healing....maybe catharsis.....but it has really helped me get over NOT becoming a nurse!

You guys are great, and I have learned soooo much from you all to make me a hopefully better CNA. I know you all just hate me being here (I can be aggravating) but thanks for letting me hang in there, just a little longer, OK?
