Members are discussing a new website called 5starnurse where parents can rate and review home care nurses. Some members feel that the concept is confusing and could lead to potential liability issues, while others believe it could be a platform for unfair complaints. There is also speculation about the motives behind the site and concerns about privacy and transparency.
Does this bother anyone else but me? Just the headline invites parents to sign up to trash their nurses, rather than write good reviews. I'll reserve my opinion until I hear what you all have to say about this.

I think it's total BS to not be honest and upfront. Nikki even posted a comment to the effect of "Oh, I wrote to them about their TOS and they were so great and changed it." Umm, no, that's BS. YOU changed it because someone called you out on your privacy policy.

If I was going to start a website called rateyournurse.com, I would fully disclose that it was me just like if a nurse here started wacky****myfamiliesdo.com, I would expect her to be upfront that she was a PDN.
Also, 5starnurse is NOT like Angie's List. Angie's List is totally private when you post a review (well unless you post that you wanted your shutters painted hot pink and you're sorry that your dog bit the painter because that would make it pretty obvious). If you post a crappy review, AL will contact you and see if you want assistance resolving the issue and the company has the option of posting a reply to your review.
