Do you disclose AN to coworkers

Published

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 intimidated them because they didn't intimidate me!

And because I'm " a mean moto-scooter an' a bad go-getta!" :woot:

A Bad Mama Jamma?

I know right now you may not believe it, but oh YES, I certainly can be.

I have been known to wither with mere words, succinctly and plainly and truthfully spoken.

I'm even better on the page; I've been told more than once by recipients of such missives that they hope to hell they never have to get another such a letter from me. Because when I'm right, I'm right, and all the squirming and justifying in the world can't change that. And even more galling to them is that I am such a NICE bad mamma-jamma.

No Stars- I think I could have written this about myself. My thinking is soooo black and white. I wonder if it is just how "nurse brains" are in general. It is either right or its wrong. Gray....very very rarely...pretty much never.

I'm not presently employed but the most I would disclose if I were, would be the website. Never my online identity.

HECK no. I am friends with many coworkers on FB but I have them all blocked from my posts. A lot of coworkers I'm not FB friends with, I have totally blocked.

There is a user on here whose screen name is my last name, which isn't too common. I want to shout to the world that it IS NOT ME! just in case :)

Well, is it me? Am I you?

Is the person COOL?

I am not hiding anything. I just prefer not to disclose who I am since we do have a social media policy in place. We have some people at work who like to stir things up. This is the only social media I participate in though.

Wait...what? I thought this was the evidence based research site. :yes:

I have a former co-worker here. Worked with her in the clinic and now she's a school nurse.

Hmn, Cattz, that's not how I meant it, though. I'm not a black and white thinker at all, and there's room for lots of different hues of gray. Must be the artist in me. Except-- don't mean to be sounding snotty or pious, I am pretty much trying to stay with The Golden Rule because for years nobody "did unto me" as I would have them do; but *I* can do that now, in reverse, because I've been on that other side. I don't have to like it or even be 'right'. There may be something of which I am not aware.

I'm as patient as the day is long, but by golly, if you step on my toes, when I have had enough, or I know I am right in my stance, well, it WILL get said, whether you want to hear it or not. But I am not harsh or crass; I believe 'plainspoken' would be the word.

In person I am subtle, kind, friendly and nice (and silly, too.), but no-one has ever convinced me to do what I didn't want to do. I'm actually tolerant and pretty much live'n'let-live, but I stand MY ground. I can be strongly stubborn if it is important enough to me to do so.

To me, there's a real wide latitude on how to do something differently but still arrive at the same place. If I am wrong, I'll own it. But otherwise, get OFF my back!

I get what you are saying Stars. Heck no artist here, I can only draw stick people on swing sets, in front of stick houses with a few flowers.

We just gotta do what we gotta do :)
