Goodbye...

[Music in My Heart]

For quite awhile, I've been feeling more and more dissatisfied with the content, tone, and bent of many, many threads on this board.

I think I've just hit my limit.

I'm formally withdrawing from participation here.

To some of you, farewell...

To others, good riddance...

I, too, have noticed a change in the tenor of this site. However, I am sticking it out for the present. There are too many great nurses out there whose opinion matters to me

I think the negativity comes more from our work environment than anywhere else. This is the place for us to vent. I enjoyed your participation and hope you will reconsider joining us when you are able.

Don't let the haters get you down.....I have found many good things about this site and have seen MANY attention seeking posters. I hope you come back, I enjoy your posts. :)

I think people need to vent, but it would be nice if everyone would TRY to share a positive work experience once in a while. I love my workplace, mostly because of the people in it. Where else can you work and be surrounded by so many intelligent, energetic beings, most of whom WANT to do the right thing for their patients? We hav shared so many laughs (and a few tears!) but we are family of a sort.

You are awesome and I have loved every post of yours that I have read. I love your sense of humor... you make me smile. You are also a fantastic writer. I hope this is just a break and you will come back. Pleeeease?

Even in my short time here I have noticed that the character and the tone of the site has been changing and it seems that we have lost some excellent resources (thinking most specifically about GrnTea). I have always enjoyed your posts, your honesty, and your willingness to teach others and share your mistakes. I am sorry to see you go. I am even more sorry that a few bad apples are so pervasive and infectious.

I understand your desire to take a break. There has been a lot more negativity here lately. Personal attacks are rampant, whatever happened to disagree with the post, not the poster? I too have read threads with some really inappropriate content that is allowed to continue despite reporting posts by the offender. I have decided to just not read those threads rather than not participate at all.

Please make this a break and not a goodbye. I will truly miss your input! Please come back after a much needed break!!

I've enjoyed your posts. Sad to see you go!

I feel like I'm posting in an alternate reality. I've been here for more than a decade, and I haven't noticed that the place has gotten particularly different or weird or less pleasant, what have you.

Wait, before you go, if it isn't too late already, is your user name Music In My Heart, Song In My Heart, Musical Notes In My Heart or ???? Seems like everyone has a different interpretation.

I always thought it was Song in My Heart!

[kbrn2002, ADN, RN]

I always pictured it as music in my heart...crazy that even a chosen user name can be a point of discussion and debate!
