How did you find out about allnurses?

It was a complete accident really. I was trying to find scholarships and stuff for nursing. When i clicked on it I thought it was the wrong one so I quickly clicked back. Before it vlicked back the page had opened and I caught a glimpse. Well, of course from there the rest is history. I have been in school for 3 years and just found this about a couple of months ago. Boy am I glad I did!

Googling.... either for Academy of Nursing (which is horrible and I decided not to go that way for study guides) or for Excelsior College (which is wonderful, and which I am now proud to call my alma mater).

In any case, allnurses has been a blessing....

Hey everyone . just wondering how do YOU find out about allnurses.com. I found out about it when I was searching for somehting about nursing school and I looked for it on a search engine. I happened to pass this site on that search. I thought this was interesting site, but not exactly what I was looking for at the time. When I finally realized I was going to do it (nursing school). I thought about this site and been hooked here ever since.:)

I found it from a link off of another message board. This site has been very helpful to me and I love the support that we have for each other.

I found it from a Google search for nursing schools.

Google search for "nursing humor" to prepare for speaking to the freshmen.

Ummm...I googled it like everybody else I guess! I was looking for info on links for nursing students!

I think I was looking for information on entrance exams for nursing and I find this advertisement for this website. I decided to check it out. I've been hooked every since! ?

Googling also. i was searching for general nursing stuff and also about being male in the nursing field. This sight popped up and been a regular visitor lately.

I was surfing for a migraine site and voila!

Gotta love it!

Funny story, actually. I found allnurses and registered a username about a year before I even decided to go to nursing school. I am a member of a breastfeeding support/information message board, and in the general nursing discussion forum here, several people were discussing the breastfeeding website, talking about how sick we all were for nursing our 3-year-olds. So it became a small interboard flamewar. That was my first introduction to allnurses.

Then I decided to apply to nursing school and realized how valuable the student nurse forum is.
