I have been a member here since September 2001, and have been treated with such respect and courtesy each time I communicate with someone on the All Nurses Discussion sites.
It's not often that we stop and take the time to let others know how much they're respectful ways and professional attributes are sincerely appreciated, this is why I am doing so now.
It is a pleasure to belong to a nursing discussion group that does not badger one another, or put one another down for the way they feel. It is a pleasure to be among nurses who respect other's opinions even if those opinions differ from their own. It's good to be a part of an online nurse's discussion group that welcomes newcomers, does not form cliques with the intent of excluding all others from their discussions, and always communicates with one another in a mature manner like adults should.
I visit another nurse's discussion site that is no way as gentle, respectful, kind, accepting, and professionally mature as All Nurses is. Thank you all for your kind spirits and ability to make another person here feel so welcome. Happy New Year to you all!
Sincerely written,
Renee:)

I also agree that allnurses has been a valuable nursing resource for me personally and the advice and support I have gotten here is priceless....
on a personal note , I find it amazing that I have met so many wonderful nurses, but more importantly friends, peole that I can share non nursing "stuff" with ...
so yes, thanks to everyone for making allnurses such a wonderful site
each person brings something new ineresting and important to the table here...
You are one of the reasons I decided to go into nursing school!
Isn't that crazy? When I was laid off back in Oct. after being a travel agent for 13years, I was needless to say so freaked out about a midlife career change. Since I'm a caretaker for my husband who has numerous medical problems, I thought well I might as well check into nursing.
And check I did, through this board, I've learned more about the ups & downs in this field that I thought imaginable. And nothing I read scared me away, in fact it reconfirmed my decision to go to nursing school.
I found this site also in Oct. and was so impressed w/everyone and learned soooo much about this field. More so than just discussing it w/nurses themselves directly.
I can't tell you how much this board has meant to me either. Its been like a GOD send. Yes sometimes the posts can be rather disturbing to read, but you have to read the bad to appreciate the good. And Renee you are one of the good.
True I don't know you, but from I've read of your posts, I respect you and know your a woman of great faith who practices this in her daily walk. As an example is this thread that you started yourself so you could express your feelings and give thanks.
You are a good example Renee, & I wanted to let you know that you have touched me directly in confirming my decision to become a nurse.. awww, I sound kind of sappy don't I?
Oh well, I hope to hear from you more often in this board, you are again a wonderful inspiration to me and just wanted to share this with you.
Renee, I had to perform a search of your name because Iwas worried; had not seen your posts in so long--I was very relieved when I saw a "Cheerfuldoer"post dated 1/10!! Welcome back! I missed you!
