First I'll go to the home page and look at the new threads. Then, being a student, I go to the Nursing Student discussions and look around. Sometimes I go to the General Nursing discussion or Nursing Humor. I also find myself drawn to the specialty forums, because I feel like I need to know more about different specialties in order to choose something when I graduate. Right now I'm drawn to the ED and CC discussions. Sometimes I look around the Break Room, but because I'm relatively new, I rarely post in there.
No matter where I go, though, I love humorous threads or gross ones!
I first respond to my subscribed threads that I get the email on.Then the other 99% of the time I just click on the 'new posts' button up top and see what's going on that's interesting.
When I'm doing doing all that I check out the MICU/SICU thread to see what's up over there.
I stopped the email notifications a long time ago - it was too much (my fault for posting so much). Now I just go to "My Account" on the upper left and scroll down to "subscribed threads" and poof! There they are!
I can also delete subscription from there too.

When I first discovered allnurses, I used to wander to the NCLEX forum, since that was the phase of life I was in at that time. I primarily hang out in here (because it is the hottest here-always new subjects coming up), or the LPN Forum.
I also begin by reading the emails for responses from posts on threads and it lands me here, anyhow. I do visit the other forums sometimes, however, they seem to move somewhat slow and can see some of the same threads on the page for months, so, I travel where it is hot...LOL

Do you choose a thread based on your mood? Sometimes when I come to all nurses I'm looking for certain information. Sometimes I look for something that pertains to a similiar problem I am having. Often, I start with a thread and when it turns snippy or catty, I'm off to a new thread. Need a good laugh after a crappy day? There is always plenty to make me giggle or even get a good, deep belly laugh! I appreciate so very much everything that all of you share. I was just wondering if any of you have a method when choosing a thread.
