Every since I found this site,I cant wait to get on it!I am a very busy person,like I am sure you all are.My question is,how often do others get on here,or about how many times a day?I am thinking alot of you are addicted like me?I wonder why?It just seems to be such a stress easer.Do you all feel the same?Maybe it is like a bunch of duck hunters when they get together,they can go on and on...Oh well,just curious.Oh yea,and does anyone know if this ever will stop,or is this my newly found hobbie?????
Thanks

I am on several times a day, don't think I have tried to count though. I come on for many different reasons, to seek advice(not medical), for stress relief, for laughs, current events or nursing news, and to be with my fellow health care professionals. I LOVE allnurses and proud to say that I am addicted, and will never seek allnurses anonymous for my addiction....lol

i'm on here several times a day. i currently a bsn candidate at a local school. i've been wanting to be a nurse for quite sometime now. this site just keeps that hope alive for me. and it's also great to see what others in the profession are saying about the profession itself, current nursing news, tips from current nursing students, etc. so yeah - i'm on here everyday.

:redbeathe I am in love with this site. :redbeathe I wished I had found this place when I was still in nursing school but luckily I discovered it when I was studying for NCLEX. BELIEVE me this was the place to go for help and when I needed to vent. It is great to be able to connect with people here you may not know but are in complete understanding of what goes on in nursing. I am exhausted after working today and should probably go to sleep now but I am still here. :nuke:

I'm on here way more than I should be ! Between a full time job, full time school, kids, hubby and all that goes along with being a wife and mother, I have little if any spare time. Of course the minute I get some spare time, I hit AN! I'm on several times a day for chunks of time that range from a few seconds (checking out if any interesting new posts pop up) to an hour or so.
I'm actually frightened about how much time I'll spend here once I graudate in June and have ALL that time to do what I want with!

I'm addicted. I am wondering if we need to start a Recovery group for Allnurses.

I'll sign in a few times a day. I do limit the amount of screen time I spend in a day.

I am on here often, maybe not every day but I have been here since the site was new. I have watched it grow and it seems to get better all the time. I was afraid the site would get too big and become impersonal, it didn't. Now I realize it is a reflection of what is going on in nursing, the issues, the new laws, the solutions we have found and I see a lot more new nurses and nursing students on here. I also know I am safe here, the administrators don't allow posts that are nasty or inappropriate.
Thanks for a really cool site for nurses!!!!!!!!!!!

Several times every day. My husband is disgusted with me. He says I am an addict. He's right.
