I posted something I thought was very nice and it was removed. I'm not sure why. Would you mind returning it to this thread if you think it's appropriate because I'm not sure I can replicate it?

Will do if I can find it.

The admin and the rest of the staff is working through this horrible news and attempting to keep all the posts together. There have been some technical glitches, please bear with the staff, as you can imagine, everyone is personally and professionally affected.

There isn't a nurse out there that wasn't impacted in one way or another by AllNurses.com. Prayers for family at this time.

There was an initial post under this same title. Was it posted there? We had a technical glitch and that entire thread disappeared. If it was in that post, it cannot be retrieved. Sorry.

Thanks to the mods and admin folks who are working hard in a tough situation.

I mentioned prior to this that we should all be careful about jumping to conclusions in the beginning of a news story like this as details change frequently from the first hour or so.

Regardless of what happened, it is a terrible tragedy. My prayers go out to the family/friends of Brian, his wife, and kids.

I've keep saying this...I can't believe this, it doesn't seem real. But I know it is, and that really hurts.
