My thoughts and prayers for the Short family and the staff here at AN. I found AN in 2006. It has been a place for me to come and share and ask questions and occasionally vent. I am forever grateful to Brian for creating this site.

I am so very sorry to hear of this tragedy. My condolences to all the staff at Allnurses, his family, and anyone who felt like he was a part of their nursing family. I know I did.

There are no words.....

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!

I would like to say I am deeply saddend but

this tragic news of Brian Short's

passing. All nurses is a a wonderful

site and for that I have Brian to thank.

There are so many posts on AN that

give everyone from pre nursing to nursing

and thos who are already nurses and

relative healthcare professionals

to share their experience so others

Will have the option to use the

Information given to them and incorporate

it into their study habits. I was amazed

by AN when I discovered it. I knew

I had a place I could go where I would

noticed and can share my successes and

downfalls. Again all my prayers to Brian

Short and his family. Thank you for continuing

this wonderful chat group where pre nurses

nursing students and licensed nurses can share

their love for nursing with others.

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.

love to you all,
