Brian provided a wonderful place to learn,to grow to vent when we needed to and to just share, because lets face it nursing is exhilarating but exhausting! I wish he and his family could have have had the help he gave to so many and send my prayers to all!
I honestly don't know what to say. Stories like these just leave me speechless and confused. No one can know what happened in the home that day, but we do know how much we appreciate what Brian did for us. I hope the friends and family that were left behind can find peace some day with this tragedy. What a loss for all of us on AllNurses.
Thank you to all of the mods who are reeling from this themselves, and yet are keeping this all functioning.
Such a huge loss to the allnurses community. I can't even wrap my head around this tragedy. May you rest in peace. To the family and friends of Brain and the AN Admin and staff my thoughts and prayers with you. All nurses changed the path of my life, forever indebted to you Brain.
The team at eHealthcare Solutions sends our sincere wishes and hopeful thoughts to the surviving family and the family of the AllNurses staff and community. We wish you the very best in dealing with this tragic event and sad loss.
Thank you, Brian, for making Allnurses a place for us. I came here as a hospice nurse in a difficult situation and gained clarity from fellow nurses across the country.
I stay here for the camaraderie, laughs, advice, education, and fellowship. I am thankful for the impact Brian made on my nursing career here at AN.
To the AN Admin, you are in my prayers as you deal with the newness of this grief. God Bless You!
