Allnurses.com history?

[OBNURSEHEATHER]

So...

I've been paying attention lately to how long people have been hanging around on this BB and it's made me wonder. When did this BB start? Looks to me like the oldest member is (was) Rick. He's got the next person beat by a year, as I see it. So was it just Rick posting all by himself for a year? I thought this place was like a roach motel... once you check in, there's no checking out. :chuckle

So when did allnurses start? How long have you been coming here? Any "original members"?

Brian, I think that this site was your destiny. It has enriched so many peoples lives. :)

It is my home page, my passion, my obsession, my life, my WHOLE WORLD--well not quite, but I do come here as often as I can stick my kids in the tub (ha ha).

Thanks for you.:kiss :kiss

I am especially grateful for not having to deal with a barrage of "pop-up" ads and other distractions. I would be able to deal with banner ads if it would help bring in some revenue.

1.8 million hits a month should attract some revenue.

Thanks for the superb site.

Thanks Brian, that was very interesting. I went on-line in about 94, and I vaguely remember world-wide nurse.

Since I did my web site, I have also had e-mails from home health nurses around the world, and that is really cool. Nothing like your traffic here though. I didn't even bother to put a counter on the site!

Keep up the good work. And get those boxer shorts ready for Heather, OK?

Thanks Brian for creating such a wonderful site. I know I'm here everyday, as my husband likes to remind me. :chuckle I'd like to second what Russell said about the pop-up windows, etc.

I enjoy reading everything and commenting where I have something to say. I say alot as my posts # has grown quickly! I'm just starting my nursing journey this summer by taking my pre-req's...with that said, I'm thumbing through a medical dictionary often trying to figure out what some of you are talking about.

My hubby says I'm always sitting on my a** at allnurses.com, so I figure I might as well have allnurses.com across my a**

Hey, what about it???? Sure, T-shirts, boxer shorts, tank tops, -- with the website, of course, and some of the great trailers you all have attached to your posts... Any plans?

I too am hooked on it; like a good movie, reading just the most recent threads can send my emotions on a roller-coaster ride, educate me, challenge me . . . Great site!
