As nurses it is our job and PRIVILEGE to care for and about others without passing judgement, who's situations we may not understand! We must remember to carry on the honor of nursing in everything we do!
To those who are personally affected by this tragedy... I carry you in my heart!
Very sorry to hear. Must be very difficult and my condolences to his family and to allnurses. I am new, and not a nurse, but, it certainly is a good place for nurses to meet. RIP

Blessed Be to allnurses:
I used to be an active member of allnurses some time ago and reading about this tragedy really hurt my gut. I know that the many faithful participants, guides, moderators and administrators of allnurses MUST be in deep pain while trying to process through all of this. May the Creator embrace ALL OF YOU, the extended families of the Shorts and the AN community and bring peace to this. May this bridge togetherness and love.
I am saddened by this. I have been a member for many years and AN has helped me through many decisions and career questions. I teach nursing and always tell my students about AN.
My prayers are with everyone- Brian's family and the AN family. Thank you for all you do. It is much appreciated. I am glad you will continue AN. Take your time and grieve. We will be with you every step of the way!
