hi ya'll!
just a friendly reminder that no potentially libelous information about specific schools, instructors, or health care facilities/entities should be posted in these forums. while it is important to be able to network, i ask everyone to also be mindful of the following:
(1) it is a small world - when we narrow it down to a state and throw in a dash of personal info, there is actually a pretty good chance someone may recognize you if you are not careful. your privacy is paramount to us.
(2) while allnurses.com is a wonderful place to vent (without excess personally identifiable details) it is not the place to express why ("x" specific person, place or program) is terrible. gripe away, (and since we have all had our stints in horrid jobs, facilities, schools or classes, we are not questioning that you are speaking the truth) but since we cannot permit allegations to be made about named entities, your care in not naming them is very much appreciated.
(3) please do not give out personal information about others. do not name names where anyone could identify the person in any facility including your nursing programs.
with thanks for helping your volunteer staff keep off the tums,
siri and the moderating team:)
