I've been on AN for a while, I signed up before I got in to nursing school. I read several times a week, but I'm more of a lurker, I rarely post.
I lurk on the School Nurse forum all the time, although I am not a school nurse. I come from a family a teachers-- Mom, Dad (now admin), Sister, Grandmother, Aunt, Uncle and some cousins; all teachers. I think that's part of the reason I find your threads so entertaining, it makes me giggle knowing how pesky teachers can be. And overall, you guys are just fun and I love reading your threads.
But you know what I love best about your forum? How tight knit and supportive you are of each other (*Disclaimer: this is not to say other people on other boards AREN'T, I just think this is a smaller group, thus allowing a tighter knit). You guys are always so supportive of each other. I was just reading a random thread and Farawan (pretty sure that's spelled wrong 😳) started her response with "You can come to us with ANYTHING, okay?" That made my heart smile ðŸ˜.
So pretty much, you guys are the cool kids and I wanted to give you a shout out. You're also a bunch of smart alecks, so what's not to love? 😉
I was at work all day and couldn't get on here, but this thread just exemplifies my point, it only took like 3 posts before a wedgie pic and hilarious tangent came about haha.
And my hospital doesn't have a uniform policy, and I just so happen to own a pink scrub top 😉

Thank you.
The only truly cool one is Flare. The rest of us are a bunch of dorks. Especially OldDude.
I really can't get through the day without my SN peeps. They are so smart, and giving, and supportive, and freaking hilarious.
There have been many times I was unsure (read my Narcan thread) and although many nurses weighed in, these folks here on this forum are the people I trust to know exactly what I'm asking. We don't always agree 100%, but I listen to them a bit harder, because this is my job, and they have become my co-workers.
If I ever get blocked at work I will be so sad. I count on my friends.
Girl, please. When I have a big decision to make, I ask myself "What would Far do?" (WWFD)
There are a lot of really nice people here on AN. I hope you get to know more of them over time.
