I want to acquaint myself with you folks!!! (Aim/Facebook)

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Hey there! I just wanted to cite that I have no friendfs (AWKWARD!) and I'm looking to talk with like-minded people online via aim/facebook, and possibly phone some, occasionally. I moved to Daytona, FL to go to nursing school and get married. I'm twenty-one and will be starting my pre-req courses on the eighteenth (a week from today) !

Please PRIVATE MESSAGE ONLY, your facebook/aim or if you would like mine instead. Just want to get to know some like-minded people. I just got over severe depression, had it for about six-seven years, and all of my friends go back to when I was depressed, and go back to where I moved from (Rhode Island) well times sure have changed them and me! Please, don't be shy!

Purpose: Basically, I just want to meet some cool folks, hear of their personal life, or touching stories, and talk about nursing/patients/clinicals and stuff! Thanks!

Just on the outside chance that this is 4 real:

Please be careful and skeptical. While it is certainly possible to make friends online, it is also very likely to come across folks with not so good intentions. Why not frequent this forum for a while, keep posting and see what develops. My guess is you won't have folks beating down your door to exchange phone numbers, etc., but I believe you'll be safe here.

We discourage passing personal information on allnurses. The internet is huge and it is full of not so nice people. What I think you should do is private message someone one here and ask if you can befriend them. If they agree then you and they can personal message each other. But whatever you do please don't believe anything you read on the internet unless you know without a doubt it is true.

There is an old saying: "The best way to have a friend is to be one."

You'll be starting school next week and meeting classmates. Presumably, you have neighbors. Be a friend to those around you and friendships will develop.

Hi,

I find your screen name interesting. You are or sound like a married man, looking on a majority female board, for companionship? If intuition serves me correct, you have little interest in your wife and since you have recently relocated, have no friends? Am I close or way off? I understand not everyone has friends, but it usually is a red flag, when you do not. It is also a red flag, when someone begs for virtual friends on an Internet message board. Then again, requesting Aim and FB with private message only....something your wife, could not address. Anyway, I dont think this is wise for you, or any one reading this post. Too dangerous, creepy and for you, cheating. Please rethink what you are doing. Peace!

Its great you want to make friends, but i really hesitate giving any personal information over the internet to someone i have not met. I'm within your age, 23, and get along GREAT with just about everyone so if this were in real life, i wouldnt hesitate.

best i can say-- join some student nursing association or something offered at your school. You'll meet some great people with the same interests!

best of luck.

Try meetup.com for friends instead. This is way too broad of a forum to go passing around personal info.
