Ok this is not a cut down in any way, shape or form on the site. I think Brian has done an excellent job with it, and I like it alot. This is just a curiousity question? I have a few reasons, but will not go into it. Mostly because sometimes I beleive I think a little too much, too deep, and get carried away.......so I'll keep shut.

Anyways, why do you come here? Any specific reasons? What else do you do online? Any other decent sites related to nursing, or not?

Just like my last thread (wild, sus k, level II, Hollykate etc) I am expecting this one to flop, because I suppose in all actuality it might be a dumb thread, but was curious.

hi guys!

I guess I havent been around as much as I used to... Been sleeping too much I spose....

oh-- why I come to this site,, ok....

well... I am a computer junkie.... haha

also, I like talking/writing to people who know whats goin on in our current state of work...

Most of my buds are still finishing their 1st degrees, and very few of them are nurses...

SO.... I guess.... I come here to vent, read up on whats doing,

say HIDY HO! to everyone every now and then...

oh=== Rick, Susy-- I havent seen/heard from yous in ages... whassup?

I'm here for pretty much the same reasons everybody else has stated. There are so many tidbits of info to pick up and interesting to see so many different opinions.

I like discussion but I don't like to see people getting blasted for saying things that others disagree with. As adults in a caring profession we should be able to extend the same compassion to each other that we do to our patients and disagree in a way that shows respect to our fellow professionals.

I don't get much chance to talk about work--hubby doesn't want to hear about it and there is never any time to talk to my co-workers.

I see that this thread has been around for several months.

I come to this site to keep up to date with nursing and healthcare issues, to vent, to have fun, and occassionally to share an opinion.

gee...I came for the free food and stayed for the show....LOL

I actually come here several times a day to see what people are saying. I am a vouyer at heart I guess. I originally came here to see the sight after seeing a banner on another sight. I beiong a very conservative person in a "liberal" field ( I use this term as a generality) often find amusing some of the posts and views of some nurses that do not share my beliefs. BUT I DO RESPECT their views, and I will always defend to the last drop of my blood thier right to have those views (even if I think they are wrong) Plus the humor section is GREAT:cool:

All of the above.

I also go to the Mass. General Neurology boards for my "little neuro problem."

It's nice, however, to be able to say in one sentence to another nurse what would take a paragraph or two to say to a "layman."

I think Brian Short has done a teriffic job here. I like being able to read/participate in discussions with differing opinions and having folks say they respect what *I* feel with no bashing and flaming.

You guys are pretty darned great.

Just for the record, allnurses.com has no connection with perverted e-mails or any form of SPAM or unsolicited commercial e-mails. We pride ourselves in respecting our users privacy and keeping their e-mail addresses private.

These days, it is next to impossible to avoid getting SPAM e-mails and it is even more impossible to isolate or associate the e-mail with any particular website.

Thanks ;)

There are (evil) programs out there that surf the web and collect e-mail addresses for the SPAM-meisters.

If for ANY reason you feel you have to post your e-address then put something in the middle with instructions to remove it in order to send.

Eg:

[email protected]

comment: remove the NOSPAM to e-mail me

And use a filter on your email program. I like the outlook express program for my hotmail address. They both have excellent filters. I get very little SPAM.
