501 ways to know you've been on allnurses.com too long!

Published

all right.

i confess! i'm a proper addict! this is a fantastic website - filled with goodies and great people.

and i know that i'm not alone :)

so... i challenge forum members to describe 501 ways to know you've been posting on allnurses.com too much. here's some to start off...

remember to put the numbers

1. you're still stuck in threads from 2002, trying to catch up.

2. during conversations in 'actual reality', you keep looking for the emoticon buttons whenever you are being sarcastic/trying to be funny/etc.

3. when arguing with your so, you quickly get your point in because you think the debate will get locked.

4. you try to find a pm function on the phone, so much easier than dialing.

5. when your family starts getting on your nerves, you want to pm a moderator to get them banned.

:D

Specializes in ICU, SDU, OR, RR, Ortho, Hospice RN.

Well I have just had the best belly laugh in ages.

I hope and pray I can be around as long as some of you and be posting similar comments.

I have to agree that allnurses is a fabby site and I have spread the site widely at my place of employment. :)

Specializes in acute care.

165. You make sure that your blackerry has internet access so you can log onto allnurses while on the bus, train, in class waiting for the professor, etc.

166. You have your allnurses window up and your MSN Messenger up IM'ing your friend, and while reading threads like "What patients have taught me not to do", "Weird reasons patients come to the ER" and "What's the grossest.." you INSIST on copying the funniest and grossest stories and pasting them in the IM so that your friend can read them, too.

167. You realize that this same friend has heard more disgusting and funny nursing stories from you in the short time that you have been an allnurses member, than he has from his sister and mother, who are both NURSES..
