Do Find These Boards Addictive???

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I have to admit that I am finding these message boards becoming addictive. The funny thing about it is my significant other and I have had many conversations about the fact that he would stay up until like 2 or 3 (sometimes later) in the morning to surf and post on stangnet ( a site for mustang message boards) I felt "ignored' sometimes as I usually end up going to sleep long before he does.. As I have discovered these boards, I think I know now why he stays up so late. I still go to sleep about the same time I always have, but my day time hours are increasing in these rooms and boards. INTERESTING READING!!

Anyone else find this as a problem?? :)

My name is my Michelle and I am an Allnurses addict. I LOVE this board, my personal feeling is you can't spend TOO much time here!:p Like everyone else, I would probably have DT's if I couldn't come here at least once a day and check out what's going on!:D

I'm embarrassed to say how many times a day I check in here! I just moved three days ago, the phone company screwed up, and consequently I couldn't get on the Internet for three whole days. It was awful! And pathetic!

I'm defiantly an addict. I check the board twice a day, before and after work.:D Even when I don't have a question, I still learn a lot from other peoples questions. Even when I went back to Ireland, I checked in as often as I could from an Internet cafe. This site is the best.

I am very much addicted to this board....lol

I have been looking for a forum where nurses can speak and give there opinions on their career. I used to go to all the state nursing associations' websites and look for some sort of forum...and I never found it.

I have learned so much..and I know I have only scratched the surface.

Thanks to the person(s) who founded this website, and thanks to all the nurses who participate and give priceless information to people like myself who have decided to follow in your footsteps!!!

Hi, my name is Berta. I am an allnurses site addict. I check it at least twice a day sometimes more. Sometimes I just lurk, other times I post. Somedays, I just won't get off my soapbox.

This is sad to say...but I think I'm becoming addicted. As first I was just coming on as a guest and then I decided to join in. I'm here at home and work. It's VERY informative. I love it
