Agree with this in its entirety. Would love to meet you and me and your nurse wife one day....

Aw, SHOOT! 

I posted that to ruffle a few feathers and you have to spoil the whole thing by getting all Zen about it, SBE!

AND THEN you have the audacity to say something positive about meeting me AND my medical nurse wife Belinda!

I'm considering filing a grievance.

I did meet someone from here once. She lives in a city where I would go visit, near where my son and family lived. We met at a restaurant and had a nice conversation.

 I will forever regret not going to a conference in Orlando years ago where I could have met the admins, some other cyber friends, and the original founder Brian was still alive then.  It would have been a short drive for me but I couldn't make it.  

Oh, I wish you had! I went and it was fabulous, I met so many AN people! A great memory for sure.

I’ve actually gotten to meet several of my allnurses friends IRL. Next I want to meet SmilingBluEyes since she lives only about three hours away. But I’d also love to meet RN/writer (I’ve talked to her on the phone a number of times), sirI (we communicate via PM quite a bit) and the other admins, premnrs, Tweety and The Commuter (we’re all facebook friends), among others. I think we’d all really like each other.

You all reading to see if your name is mentioned? Well, my moniker is so dull, who would meet "MyWords". I wish I thought of a better name.

This premise that rings of altruism has been previously debated and found to be not based on objective truth: We are all here to be entertained and/or to feel better about ourselves or our situation.

My thought may be debatable, but my perception is that people here are generally trying to do what is right, or help others do what is right, for patients everywhere. If I wanted to just feel better about myself I could post all over facebook about my work as nurse and get plenty of feel-good positive feedback from people that really don't understand the work that we do. But I don't want anyone to call me a hero, I don't want to exploit my experiences and patients by turning them into something that is supposed to get me some sort of admiration. I come here to share experiences and the anonymity, in my opinion, means that there's less ego involved.  None of the people here know me personally, I could be a complete jerk and everything I've ever written could be a total lie and no one would know. 

For sure there is an aspect of being entertained, that's how message boards build communities. But I also think that there is a common thread among the people that come here in that they want to be the best nurses they can.

Well, JBMmom, I am a complete jerk who works part time being a decent guy, who sometimes posts things which some would consider to be untruths, and I really don't give a rat's rear if anyone knows or not.

Oh no. Does that make me someone from allnurses who nobody would like to meet?

What ever am I going to do with myself?!

I would make an attempt to meet TheCommuter. Her posts had a lot of thought and a great writing style. I miss her contributions. 

I say I would make and attempt, but she says she is an introverted person, and so am I, so actually meeting in person seems like a bit too much.
