Unit Clerk Reading Allnurses.com ..

[PacoUSA]

So the other day I happen to glance at the computer screen of the unit secretary (who I have since learned is doing prereqs) as I walked behind her and noticed that she was reading a post on this site.

What was interesting about this is that at that very moment she was reading one of MY posts from 2012 ... what are the chances? I kept silent. And she will never know that the real PacoUSA was standing right behind her.

LOL!

I've never been "outed" (although I think I could be figured out fairly easily).

I did figure out who someone else is, though. I dated her now-husband in high school.

Hmm. Wonder if that's one of you reading this...

I just asked him - he said no.

Someone could probably figure me out if he really wanted to. I use a fake name of course but people can still put two and two together...

I figured out one of my coworker's AN ID when she posted a little too much info about herself. Never told her and I don't ever plan to.

I've discovered a few classmates on AN because they posted what school they're going to, personal stories that I've heard many times, and issues going on with the school (not a good idea). As far as I know, I've not been identified.

I was once giving a lecture at a nursing convention a few months back when a couple of people came up afterwards and said that I sounded just like the risk manager on allnurses. I told them that great minds think alike, so I was not surprised that we had the same opinions.

I've never set foot outside my parents' basement, so I'm good......

I figured out who one person is on here. Not gonna say who. She may have already "outed" me too.

Be glad it's not you.

Seriously though - I only put the "may be one of you" line out there tongue-in-cheek. She doesn't post frequently.

I have since left that hospital, and I'm pretty sure I barely made a memorable impression for her to remember me and make a connection, so I believe my anonymity is still intact 😉

Same here...except that said coworker--same person across two separate jobs, no less!--used a picture of herself as her avatar. So between the photo and the details in her posts, it was easy to ID her.

Whereas I look nothing like Shaun the Sheep...though more than once, I've caught myself going to working wearing my AN jacket, which I've had to ditch in my truck before I entered the building.

[calivianya, BSN, RN]

I'm actually a very open person - I literally haven't said anything on here that I haven't probably said to my coworkers or unit leaders at least a few times before. Even the very snarky comments. I snark and cuss a lot in real life... even in front of managerial sorts of people... so I personally wouldn't care if anyone figured out who I was.

To be honest, my language is way cleaner on here than in real life because cussing gets filtered out... so people actually might think I'm a better person than I am if they figured out who I was here.

Any reasonable person who has the slightest loma linda experience and looks at my history can deduce almost instantly who I am. It doesn't bother me though. I stand by what i say, anonymous or not. I treat what I say here the same as any other public platform *shrug*
