My husband doesn't want me on ALLNURSES

WinterLilac · Apr 2, 2016

My partner prefers me going on AN. When I post a question, write a comment etc. I receive feedback from others in the industry. My partner has one eye on the TV while I'm waxing lyrical about things he either doesn't understand or isn't interested in.

Is this my ex pretending to be Farawyning? If not, I do respectfully request intelligent mindful responses. Battling wits with an unarmed person just isn't fair. We're trying to give insight to a sensitive topic, relationships. I aooligize if I touched a sensitivity. It was not my intention. Peace.

I know battling with with an unarmed person isn't fair, joke a. Which is why I told you to dry up.

OP has clarified that she is not being controlled. Clearly, she has not stopped posting. She has concerns about anonymity, yet you keep coming back to control, and are making statements about OP and her husband based on assumptions, and really, that have nothing to do with OP's own statements. Between that, and the ex wife paranoia and name calling, I'm wondering who has the "deep seeded" issues.

I aooligize if I touched a sensitivity, but I'm not apologizing.

This was pretty tough to text without arms.

I like "journalizing". Because I like the letter z.

Totally off topic, but I can't possibly be the only one that thought Sesame Street....and this thread is brought to you by the letter Z, can I??

I prefer the "Capital I" song. Old school. With the little dudes who come out and "polish up the I, to keep it clean and shiny so it brightens up the sky."

The lyrics go on in that vein. My brother and I recently discussed how very "Dancing with Myself" the lyrics really are.

But I digress. Back OT.

I have a brother. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that online!

I think he's paranoid and needs a psychiatrist.

The rule of thumb on the internet has generally been not to post anything anywhere you wouldn't put on the front page of the New York Times. We have our anonymity now, but who knows about the future. That said I feel safer posting anonymously than under my real name. Do remember when reading, take anything you read, particularly from anonymous sources with a grain of salt. Some people may have a skewed perspective or ulterior motive.

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?

Wow. . . This topic is only one day old and already there are SIX pages of postings to be found.

I received an email regarding this topic. Usually I ignore emails about posts from bulletin boards like the one that was sent from allnurses. But this topic caught me eye.

No. I did not read every post. Too many of them. But it seems that the "control issue" has been clarified by the "original poster" (OP). Hopefully that's true. Since I am here already, I might as well give my "2-cents worth". It's summed up with this: HIPPA. Don't use patient names or anything super specific about a patient that can violate HIPPA. Otherwise, share, vent, seek answers to question, etc.

As far as preserving one's own anonymity. . . well that's a personal choice. I started out on this web-site using the first initial to my first legal name followed by my last name. I held that UserID for years. Now, it's just simply my well-recognized nickname since birth. Why? It's easier to type when I sign in. For me, i'm an open book and I could care less what others think about what I post. Not everyone shares this point of view which is to be expected and respected. So, don't share anything about yourself you simply don't want people to know. (And, as always, following this web-site's Terms of Service will go a long way in keeping whatever is posted safe, honest, respectful and following HIPPA.)

Cheers! :)

True; I attended a seminar run by a man who works with vets returning from war with PTSD. One thing he has them do is to journal--with paper and pen/pencil as physically writing activates a portion of the brain that typing on a keyboard doesn't.

Would you mind sharing the PTSD info? I was just writing about that yesterday for a psych assignment regarding my dad (rated 100% disabled for PTSD).

every word in the language started out with somebody saying 'is that a word", lol

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

Richard Bach was never a nurse. This profession can be very catty, backstabbing, and even eat their young.

What does your statement have to do with anything?

Please don't inject NETY into yet another thread. This is a good one!

We need our own AN version of Godwin's Law. Inevitably it seems somebody throws NETY out there, even when the topic at hand has absolutely zero to do with anything remotely resembling co-worker relationships.
