My husband doesn't want me on ALLNURSES

Published

My husband doesn't want me on ALLNURSES. He thinks it is dangerous to post anonymously.

I told him that I don't write that which should not be read. And anything written can be read. Am I the only one with an overprotective husband?

Dude. No.

That's what I tell her but she's not buying it :D LOL

Tell her we didn't know you can get married at age 12, or however old you are. :woot:

(Kidding!)

Yeah... I don't think he's being controlling. I think he just doesn't want her to get in trouble at work. Which is understandable! My boyfriend is the same way. He's always like... I'm not gonna get you in trouble right?! I would just assure him that no... you will not get in trouble and that you will be careful. The bad thing about social media is that it can come back to bite you in the butt professionally, so you have to be mindful about what you share. Maybe he would feel better if you let him read a few of your posts before you post them and explain how its okay to post. Some people just need to be reassured.

I was going to ask why and then I saw he was worried about hipaa. Is he also in the medical field? You need to explain this is an outlet around colleagues where you can maybe get some stress relief. You don't have to post patient stories in order to get stress relief. I think that's the way you approach it.

I can see how others would think of control issues. That was the first thing that came to my mind honestly as a person who was in that type of relationship for years. I like to read and post but I never reveal what goes on with work. And I rarely see anybody that does.

If Davey says it is, it is. Artistic license, blah de bla.

It is indeed a word, much to my disappointment.

I go on other internet forums too, and I think for people who don't go around posting all over the internet it can seem really weird and dangerous. And to be fair to the husband it CAN come back and bite you if you aren't careful.

The other internet forum that puts up with me on a daily basis is private. I have been there for 10 years, known most of the peeps for 15 years, and have met the majority of them.

I can't even have my husband drive me to work unless I have the client's permission. He's not supposed to know where they live. I'm vague in my descriptions. "I'm going north of (this city)", or, "It's in town." I don't do HIPPA violations.ALLNURSES crowd.

Why does your husband drive you to work appointments? You don't drive? I read your post and thought it was a little controlling on your husbands part but I didn't say anything because maybe it's too judgmental and not my business. But now you're saying he also drives you to jobs? Do you go anywhere by yourself?
