Finding old co-worker

pickledpepperRN · Apr 2, 2003

Good idea!

How about a place for finding old co-workers on this board? What do you think?

I'm holding my vote til I think on this some more. I don't want to start something that could lead to stalking.

Oh wow, didn't think of the stalking issue.

Well how does classmates.com prevent that?

Perhaps we could just post WHO we are looking for and if that person is out there (or someone else on the board knows them) they can PM the person that posted them and say "hey, here I am and I have been looking for you too"...or some other sentiment! lol

There is an Australian site called schoolfriends.com and it doesn't stop at high school but is for anyone from kindergarted to tertiary education

I agree. Ex-husbands/wives/patients. No thanks.

classmates.com has an area that you can register under employers.

Another site that I have not gotten around to checking out is: http://www.nursesreconnected.com

Regarding stalkers, I think that the boards of registration will provide your address to anyone who knows your name. Can't see how it might be worse here.

Poor Rusty!!!! :)

Trust me, even if they're harmless it's just too weird!

I think on the nurses connected site, you put in the hospitals where you worked in the past. Then if someone else goes to the site and looks up the same hospitals they could probably contact you. I haven't had any hits yet.
