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!
Specializes in ACNP-BC, Adult Critical Care, Cardiology.
In Philippine culture, Juan de la Cruz is traditionally used as the characterization of the Filipino every day man. The character is most often portrayed in newspaper editorial cartoons wearing traditional Filipino male attire. The name came about because both "Juan" as a first name and "de la Cruz" as a last name are very prevalent in the Philippines, sort of like the equivalent of "John Smith" or "John Doe" in the US. It is my way of paying homage to my Filipino-American heritage.
Specializes in Oncology (Prior: Ortho-Neuro, Metabolic Surgery).
New username, new avatar, new post. :) I had been using my online gaming name as my AllNurses identity, but I thought it was time for nursing stuff to have a name of its own.
Ioreth is the name of the healer in the House of Healing in Lord of the Rings. She's the one that told Gandalf "The hands of a king are the hands of a healer." I will never have the hands of a king (not my temperament), but I do hope to have the hands of a healer. My new avatar is the flag of Gondor.

My mother gave me the Collected Works of the Irish poet WB Yeats for my birthday. I picked my favorites and became my alter ego Seven Sonnets.
Can you help me find a reference to this poem? I love poetry, all kins, and have not been able to find this. I did find reference to the Seven Woods. Is that the same poem? Thanks for your help!!
Yes you figured it out Billswife! It's "In the Seven Woods." "I have heard the pigeons of the Seven Woods...." I guess I could've been "The Fool by the Roadside" or "Crazy Jane on the Day of Judgment" but I don't want yall to think I'm a lunatic!
