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?

NETY? You're going to have to talk english if you want me to understand you. What my statement has to do with is Richard Bach suggesting throwing caution to the wind, which is commonly known to be a real bad idea when talking about work on social media. People can and do get fired over their postings. And Some co-workers have issues I'll never understand and may very well go to their manager with anything they think can hurt someone.

What does your statement have to do with anything?

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

Uhm.... Just so you know... "NETY" means Nurse Eating Their Young... FYI.

P.s.: In case you wonder, "FYI" means For Your Information.

His great concern for her life is her being one of thousands of anonymous posters. As long as no one gives patient identifiers out....or makes themselves identifiable to employers...what's the problem?

It would be "wise" to consider what a bizarre concern that is.

I explained it twice, so if you don't understand, I guess I won't be able to change that.

Mine probably doesn't want me here, either.

So, I post more.

My S/O told me no FB or AN allowed period. I should be cleaning house, etc., for him. (So I'm not here if he asks 😁). Actually, he bans my usage, but being as he works days and I work 2nds, I do as I please online, as I'm alone all day 7 days a week. I'm planning my departure from him soon, and would recommend that for anyone who is controlled to this level. Just stating they prefer not, with a valid reason, is ok for the partner to voice.

I wasn't asking you twice.

I don't see a link between the Bach quote and NETY, so I disagree with you. NETY is was overused here.

I was clarifying NETY, as requested by you.

I think the FYI comment was a tad bit condescending. Something tells me you might be well one of the people I was talking about.

Thank you for the explanation. It's one I hadn't heard before. I was responding to a posting of the quote. My point was That I believed it to be contraindicated with regards to the nursing culture in many facilities, where he believes it is good to be controversial, but in some cases in nursing it can be quite politically harmful, since there exists lateral violence where a coworker or manager can take what you say and hurt your standing with it. Mentioning NETY was one of several examples I used to support the premise of lateral violence in some facilities. . .

Perhaps... But I did not want to make any assumption about what you knew or didn't knew. I know I struggled with many acronyms on this forum so, I'm looking out for you buddy.
