Meaning of your username?

Published

Hey ya'll!

I am new to allnurses and just was curious what everyones usernames mean. I know there are previous thread for this but I figured there have been some username changes and new members since then.

As you can see my username is Flightless and its just short for flightless bird AKA penguin which are my favorite animal lol I had a hard time trying to pick a username that was unique but didn't give me away! Haha!

So lets hear it!

Specializes in Ortho/Neuro (2yrs); Mom/Baby (6yrs); LDRPN (4+yr).

My middle name.

No! Thank goodness and I am blonde! Guess I could have been Mary Ingalls but she was too bossy and then was blind.

And her husband Adam was kind of not hot.

I'm a dude, who works in ICU!

ICUDude would be more apt, then.

Maybe I'll change it

And her husband Adam was kind of not hot.

Guess it didn't matter...since she was blind and all.

Irish Phoenix (Harry Potter). I'm a Harry Potter nerd. I'm in nursing school because my Hogwarts letter never arrived.

Dont worry it just got lost on its way from England... Probably a Falcon ate the Owl. [emoji23]

Mine's an existential question.

Can I graduate?

On the surface, it was a question about nursing school at a time when I was figuring out my oddness was an actual condition. Underneath, it is a question about my state of being. Can I move on from the state I am in to something better? Can I leave the negative and bitter behind as I move through the complexity of life?

So far, the answer has always been "Yes!" Although, sometimes, it has been "...eventually."

(I have no band experience, sorry. I was one of the closet Trekkie/Star Wars, literary nerds. I like physics jokes and Jane Austen. My brother, however, was amazing on trombone.)

I got one for you ...

Two atoms were walking across a road when one of them said, "I think I lost an electron!" "Really!" the other replied, "Are you sure?" "Yes, I 'm absolutely positive."

Specializes in Med-surg, school nursing..

I've been saying your name can-ee graduate. No clue why. canIgraduate makes such more sense now.

Mine is boring.

I love Monsters Inc. ;)

Specializes in NICU.

I love all things vintage...anything from the 20s-50s or so...music...movies....fashion. pretty much all of my online names include vintage somewhere

Specializes in CVICU CCRN.

Aww, I've been enjoying this thread from afar. Love reading all these. Mine dates back to boarding school - there were many Catherines, Kates, Caitlyns, etc. So, I became the Cat from Cali.

I'm a car buff, so when I finally got a pretty sweet 48 Ford pickup, I wanted vanity plates. Calicat was taken, so I got creative with the spelling. Sadly, the truck suffered an untimely demise when I rolled it one night...but the nickname stuck.

Oh and let's see: punk rock, Harry Potter, LOTR all yes. Physics jokes, also a yes.

Violin, cello, piano and alto sax. Also, choir. I don't play much anymore though. Looks like I'm in good company!

Your story is not plausible due to the phenomena known as atomic entanglement aka: "spooky action at a distance" -Einstein Hahahaha :D

Mine's pretty self explanatory; I started out an LPN in Florida, bridged over to RN & then moved to Iowa right after graduation.

I had another one on here :Redirish77. Red hair & Irish somewhere down the line. Should said Swede though 😉.
