|  Disappointed I've been visiting this site for about a month. The most consistent "poster" is nursbot -- the news-searching & reporting robot. I see a lot of "viewing" going on, but when I look for recent posts, the dates are very, very old. Who cares what was "news" in the spring of 2005? Where are the current posts? Where are the nurses with ideas, questions, responses or even complaints? I'll check back, but honestly, I am disappointed that this site seems to generate more heat than light.

|  Re: Disappointed Hi Disappointed! Today is my first day on the site and I was thinking the same thing!! It doesn't appear to be a site that is generating much debate or discussion....but, in all fairness, I haven't spent a ton of time on it yet.....that's just my first impression. I'm an emergency nurse who went back to school to get my masters in nursing ed so that I can retire from our wonderful (smile) profession with some life left in me. Truly, tho, emergency nursing is in my blood and I keep in touch through teaching in a "new ED nurse" course at the health system where I'm employed and by working some casual hours. I teach in the med/surg component of a school of nursing and regale my students with tales of the ED......I've even converted a few!!! How about you? annie: |

| Re: Disappointed Thanks, Shortbus!! Funny name. When I was in nursing school, we had a T-shirt especially made for a guy in our study group that said "Ridin' the short bus to nursing school." It was cute.....had a little, orange short bus drawn on it, driving down a highway. He was way more kind-hearted than those of us who thought up the idea for the shirt and paid for it (me, mainly...haha). He would only use it as an undershirt, for fear of offending any short-bus riders or family relations of short-bus riders. Haven't thought of that for a long time.....good memories. I'm not sure how much I'll visit the site.....like most nurses, my days are so packed....but I will peek in when I can and see what is going on. So, this site belongs to you???? How does something like that happen?????? BTW, if you have the time, could you tell me how to use the smiley icons and different fonts/colors, etc? When I attempt any of that, I just get the command...not the choice that I made. Thanx!! annie |

| Re: Disappointed Hi all, I just joined yesterday. I actually hadn't looked at how old the dates of postings were....silly me! Anyway, I'll keep browsing and posting and maybe we can get things moving again. Sheila |

 | Re: Disappointed To be honest, I just figured out HOW TO POST; the page takes a long time to load. So, I'm sure that you'll get familiar with me yet. I'll warn you that on another site, I'm on the "warned" list; I can be controversial at times, sorry. I can't figure out the nurses that I work with who pretend that everything is wonderful (if the docs or managers are around), but the claws come out otherwise. A lot of them are very catty and cliquish(sp???). and I'm still surprised to see this (with nurses) I certainly expected better! It makes for a not so fun work environment. Anyway, I'm glad that I figured this site out, and am glad to be here. BTW, I can be a very nice person, which I generally am. I have a tendency to stick up for the underdog..... |

However, I'd like to start visiting more often. In fact, let me know if ya'll are in need of a Moderator.  |

| Re: Disappointed Try this forum Nurse-forum.com. The members seem to post a bit more than here on Ultimate Nurse. I think one reason is that the transition from one post to another is a bit easier to navigate than here. I hope this helps. Cheers  http://www.nurse-forum.com/index.php |
