I would assume you were going for IMPACT?

I think you got it! With what's out there, you've got to be shocking to get the attention.

It makes me uncomfortable, perhaps that is your intent, if you wanted people to squirm a little and sit up and take notice you have succeded. By the way, is there any chance of us seeing your sites honorable mention in the magazine.

Thanks for the feedback. We had several objectives when comming up with the ad. We wanted humor, we wanted creativeness, We wanted to stand out.

We didnt intend to make nurses feel uncomfortable, although we thought that a few might. Sorry if we offended anyone.

oramar, I will check into getting permission to post the content of the article where allnurses.com was highlighted in the article.

Please feel free to leave more feedback :-)

I loved the ad! It's about time companies start using there imagination. I though it was very clever and funny. Most ads in Nursing publications, are pretty dull boring.

Most of the nurses I showed the ad too, were cracking up laughing. Hope to see more clever ads allnurses.com! smile.gif

Loved it!!! I showed it around and got NO NEGATIVE FEEDBACK, from nurses.

I appreciate the site for both content and as a source to communicate with other nurses.

nice job!!!

I think its a perfect fit for the sometimes warped sense of humor we nurses have.
