Apologies

No harm, no foul.

You certainly livened up the place, talk about exploding threads :)

Hi there! I would love to get a little background. You've talked about working in OB, med/surg, and school nursing. I haven't been able to figure out if you're American, French, or Russian, or none of the above. I can't figure out if you're 23 years old, or have been a nurse for 23 years.

Maybe an introduction?

23yrs a nurse, in NZ, GB, and a couple of places in Europe, + 6 winters as a ski nurse/instructor

I trot this out as needed.

My advice for those so inclined to take it on the internet forum experience:

1) Not everyone is going to hear what you say the way you want it heard.

2) Someone is going to be offended, opposed or misunderstand/misinterpret your thoughts.

3) Someone will find angles into the topic you never would have entertained.

4) Someone is going to yank your chain.

5) Once you start a thread/topic- it is not yours anymore.

6) Pick your battles.

7) It's the internet.

Good luck and no worries! At least you weren't trying to see us a work from home scheme in every thread!

Are you American? British? Kiwi?

I don't believe your stories, but that's neither here nor there.

Yes! This! Please. You seem to have a fascinating history and I can't quite peg you down. Please tell us more about you. It would certainly clear up some people's misconceptions, I'm sure.

Glad someone else said this. I also don't believe the current "babe in the internet woods" thread. Lets see what's next.

It's not worth it. I think I have some really interesting stories to share, but it's simply not worth it. I don't have a thick enough skin for this, although I now I have had such a response, I would like to continue. But at the end of the day, I might just keep my adventures to myself.
