But, I never say anything here that I wouldn't feel comfortable saying in person.
I think you hit the nail on the head...
The other option is to not share any (or very much) personal information at all.

I've been recognized both on here and on other nursing boards. It's not too hard as I don't make a big deal of hiding who I am and I've recommended this board to others as well. I actually kind of get a kick out of people recognizing me from contracts I did 5-10 years ago!
My "rule of thumb" here is that I don't say anything that I wouldn't say in the break room at work (where you never know who's right outside the door). However, since I'm pretty outspoken that leaves me a lot of latitude!

I found a tech I work with on here by her description and comments. I still haven't told her because it doesn't really matter to me, and I don't know her very well yet.I would assume that anyone on my shift would be able to figure out who I am, and perhaps many people within the hospital itself.

Yeah, it is best just to leave it as is...co-workers going to the web to talk about stuff and/or to vent...or even just to ask questions. As long as no laws are borken on this forum, I just leave stuff as is. I know a couple of peopole who work a different shift and department than I do that post on here from time to time and I just don't bother bringing it up as the situation at work doesn't include this type of conversation (aka, hey, are you so and so on allnurses?)

I would hate to be recognized, so I don't post stuff that is really specific. I don't feel that I say anything bad, but I am a private person about how I feel about things. I come here and can vent and seek validation for things I feel and it works for me. I work in a nursery, and sometimes we get the craziest names and I want to post them, but I know it would identify me. Some day, if I ever leave my job, I will post my list.
