Do any of you SN folks let your coworkers know that you are on AllNurses ?
If so, do you disclose your username ?
Are you comfortable with this ?
Just curious. I do not want anyone I work with to know or identify me on here.
Thanks !

I haven't. No specific reason but this is so public.

Nope. My coworkers in the hospital don't like the "real" AN, too nasty for their tastes. I wouldn't have stayed if that's all I saw, but this group has helped me immensely in making this SN thing work. I definitely wouldn't tell the teachers.

I like AN and have suggested that several of my co-workers become members. This forum has greatly influenced how I practice as a nurse. I love hearing other nurses' stories and challenges, and how they react to them. To my disappointment, only one of my colleagues liked AN enough to join, and she lost interest after just a few weeks. It's not everyone's cup of tea. No one knows my username, and it's a good thing, because I've shared in great detail about one facility where I worked for 12 years. I know we're not supposed to share too much information here, but I feel like this is the only place I can get honest (sometimes brutally honest) feedback when nursing issues occur.
You have Eeyore as your avatar, you must be awesome. I am a deep judge of character like that.
BABY Eeyore, at that.

I like my fellow nurses a lot and I don't care if they went on AN or were facebook friends. Although on facebook I am wary about adding teachers.
