My husband doesn't want me on ALLNURSES

[Kitiger]

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?

Tell him that many people have reservations about open sites but with AllNurses, I have felt that I can express or respond to situations that make a difference in my career. As long as we stay respectful to each other, I don't see a problem. There are many other avenues that are not nearly as respectful, many of which I just pass over their comments, don't respond to but let them vent in their way.

at least you didn't say "old" nurses eat young. I have had some real great discussions while obtaining my BSN on this subject and most of my colleques know exactly how I stand. I try to help the newer nurse but they must be willing to understand the reasons behind how I do things too. We all have to do the critical thinking that it takes to be a good team. I learned it as team leading in the diploma program as well as the many hours in direct patient care and the writing and rewriting care plans while newer nurses have a new avenue to learn there roles as nurses. The older nurse has endeavored to advance as times have changed while many of the newer nurses have grown up with computers and are definitely more versatile with them - we are in this together and need to share expertise. By the way, recently, i have seen more newer nurses chewing on other newer nurses and belittling each other than the other way around. As a traveler, I often see the challenges felt since I am often the new kid on the block and temporary at that.

OP, does hubs know you posted this thread?

[JayHanig]

If it's anonymous, how does he even know a posting is yours? What he doesn't know won't hurt him.

Always listen to your husband

My partner doesn't know you people exist. You're my little secret.

Not that she would care if she knew. I'm about as exciting as the textbook most of my posts come out of.

I love your idea of keeping journals and keeping them on bookshelves for your famiy to look at, what a wonderful idea, wish I had thought of it, hope it's not too late for me to start! My husband expressed to me that he worried if I went back to school, sometimes I think they are worried that they will be left behind. Sometimes it's just pillow talk and nothing more. My generation did not grow up with computers and some of us are further along than others. I do alot online, others my age are afraid to and worry about their bank accounts, their identity and everything else. To each his own, we all have different worries. It's ok to share.

Wow! Just by sharing with co-workers that you post, you put yourself at immense risk. Your co-workers and friends will not hesitate for a moment to throw you under the bus the moment you slip up and you will. I think that is her husband's concern.

Post all you will but not your picture, name, workplace and tell only your dog who won't testify.

He really is!

All input from a spouse is not about control. Her husband is probably concerned about legal implications or carrier repercussion. For the first, I would say, stay anonymous and memorize HIPAA. For the second, hey you worked 35 years. They are gonna get rid of you any way. You may have a lot to say, why not make a second carrier of it?
