General Nursing Melting Pot

I've always been attracted to people's behavior and attempted to understand why they behave as they do. I have a theory here:

A definition of melting pot is "a place where different peoples, styles, theories, etc. are mixed together" and that's why I believe General Nursing is a popular forum. It's a potpourri of nurses, spanning the entire spectrum of nurses and nursing.

What do you think? 

Why do you come to the General Nursing forum?

I admire you perseverance Daisy! Makes it more fun for me!

Edit: I just realized why guessing this one is so difficult- I don't believe I ever posted a public image of him that I drew.

I could see how you could have taken the cartoon character as Joe. There are some similarities and everyone on allnurses knows Joe.

I give all of my characters names that are a play on their real names.

This cartoon character's name, with all due love & respect is:

Such a tragedy ?

Yes, Emergent...

Perhaps that is why I never posted Brian's character- I didn't want him to be remembered with sadness. But I'm sure another reason is that I didn't want to be interpreted as being disrespectful.

When I do someone's caricature, I'm honoring them in a way-  they are interesting enough to me to inspire me spend time creating an image.

When I think of Brian, I think of him with great fondness and gratitude for starting this website. I wanted to include his character in the melting pot because he is a big part of allnurses and he is not forgotten.

And I think of the one conversation we had back in 2011. He was very kind and helpful.

That's what I want to remember about Brian...

1. Couldn't think of her name, but I read some of her articles.

8. Right right right. Lorie Brown's name escaped me.

19. Thank you. That was one of the last pics taken of me at Wrongway upon receiving the Daisy4RN award. I was canned a month later.

Belinda's pic came from her badge when she worked at Wrongway, taken on a Monday morning after working three 12's. She looks tired, but her sweetness comes through.

Here's a larger pic:

And here's Belinda in a recent comic:

I don't know  "outed".

I'm sure popcorn eating and ginger ale drinking NurseBlaq either knows or wants to know...

Yes her sweetness does come through. They always have good timing for those pics don't they, but then again even with good timing mine always look like the DMV pics, ugh.

Yes Melissa...

Thank you. I'll be sure to tell what her you said about her when she wakes up to feed.

You got that right! They took my pic back in 1986 at Weed Rover Township Hospital right after I had my lobotomy!
