Thankful...

I am so touched by this website, the threads are so helpful and warm. I am a new graduate from the Philippines, currently in the US and processing some papers. Like most of those new in the field, I am loaded with concerns, the "what-ifs" and being new in this country, I don't have a buffer to extend what I feel, especially someone who can relate to what's bothering me. Luckily, I found this website where all my questions are answered just by reading the forums. What I find so awesome in here is that the responses are wise, non-vindictive and very well grounded. The best thing about it is that it is very consoling to realize that my concerns are not unique. I thought at first that my self-esteem is staggering, that I'm feeling strange while the rest are so confident to kick off until I read about what others think and feel.I'm so thankful to this website.

This is a wonderful resourceful and therapeutic site for me as well. There are some that do flame, though, but not many. You can also block those particular people out, making it even better. I come here all the time when I get home from work to hear how others are doing. There are names that I recognize and I look to see how they are doing; did they pass NCLEX, did they solve their problems, etc. Whether we agree or disagree, I have fond feelings for everyone here.
