Why do you come to All Nurses? is it for the information? the camraderie? to waste time? the jokes? relaxation? What reasons?

I come for the info and to get a feel for what the different fields are like. I also love the friendships that I have made here. This is my relaxation time (the only time I get) and I can learn something to boot!

i enjoy allnurses because:

i've learned much in terms of nsg., exercises in restraint, humility, passion and reflection. anything that you can learn from and takes you to a higher level is truly something to celebrate.

i've met people on here that i have felt privileged to talk with and become close with.

but i do love my tv and being a vegetable. my brain gets to rest. and jnette, i too just watched animal kingdom last noc, about the grizzly bears. i watch animal planet all the time when i can.

i come here to find out everything i can about nurses and nursing,3_2_2.gif so i can be informed before i start school. i like the commradery, and also the point blank matter of fact information that i can get. i like the honesty and like the prev poster said that someone will answer your questions or actually give advice without pretending they are listening. i like talking to others in the same boat as i,1000.gif and knowing that i am not alone in the way i feel on most things. it is a great site and i am definitely hooked...lol:chuckle

At first I came here to find out information about NCLEX and read about people who were going through the same stress as I was. Now I will continue to visit because everyone is so supportive of everyone else and it's nice to talk to people who understand what is truly is to be a nurse. I love it!:)

Okay.... whatever floats your boat ! :uhoh3: :chuckle

There's surely something here for all !

Netters, did you really think that there weren't people out there at least thinking what was stated in the post you are referring to? I'm just surprised that someone admitted it. I appreciate that.

3. The old crotchety nurses who want the white hats to come back?

................HEY! I resemble that remark!

I come here because it is entertaining, the stories, the jokes, and even some peoples opinions. It also helps me keep a pulse on what is going on with nursing and what concerns there are in different areas. Some day I will be living somewhere warm with no humidity. Hopefully allnurses will still be there for the answers to my questions! Thanks everybody! :p

Specializes in Med-Surg, Trauma, Ortho, Neuro, Cardiac.

All of those reasons Kim!

I've been at work and have posted medical questions and have gotten good answers before I left work for the day.

This group inspired me to leave a toxic unit a couple of years ago and transfer to a more positive atmosphere.

Besides my inner drive, and my spouse's inspiration at recently completing his Masters, this group is part of inspiration for me going back to school.

What can I say. Over 7000s posts, that says it all right there. LOL

I come here to learn about the field that I will eventually work in. :) I've learned lots of things just by coming by every day and reading the new posts. Before I started coming here I had no idea what Telemetry was and I had never heard of sepsis. Hmmmm, I still don't know exactly what sepsis is. Other than it's some kind of infection. I see it in posts that list cause of sepsis as bowel perfs. Oh my. Anyways...that's another thread. :p

I've learned lots of other things too, there's just too many things to list. There's such a wealth of knowledge here.
