AllNurses

Moderators are bias toward the majority political affiliation. Very radical left leaning in the Politics section. Moderators will apply warnings and selectively remove comments or put restrictions on account functions if they do not agree with a opinion. Open prejudice against the only group that's PC to discriminate against.

My son is currently a nursing student, and has used this site many times in the past 3 years. He raves about it. I also work in the medical field, so I logged on and found it very helpful in so many ways, even though, I myself, am not a nurse. I have had nothing but a very positive experience while navigating through this site. I have also referred this site many times to the nurses that I work with, and have had many great comments on how helpful this site has been to them.

30 year nurse member since origination with Brian who doxxed me over a thread he didn't agree with. What a cowardly act, However he trumped that by killing his family, then himself. The site hasn't changed much at all, maybe has gotten worse.
Pathetic is being generous.

If you want any profession advice this is not the place to go. Please contact the state board of nursing and your school instructor.

Very good source of information. A wealth of resources are available through this site. Well laid out and easy to navigate - Check it out!

Allnurses.com is a wealth of information and has been there when I needed answers to questions by real people/nurses in my trade/field. I use it all the time.

I really love the camaraderie with the Fellow nurses. Everyone there seems pretty genuine and helpful.

I am thinking about nursing but was looking for some real life discussion. Found this site and couldn't stop reading. Found so much information that is so valuable. Thank you for offering such a valuable resource,

I agree with everything in the post that was written about the site below. I have the same feelings and experiences on the site. I would like to add that I felt a felt a racial component directed towards my race was added to the online environment and was not addressed by them but I felt was escalated further against me. They knew and know my race.

I'm a nursing student and LOVE the site. There are active nurses that help you along your education. They answer your questions, give you guidance, and even rant about their jobs. Real life RANTS! As somebody that wants to become a nurse this is VALUABLE!

I was just banned from this site for no reason? It's ridiculous. I didn't do anything wrong or posted anything illegal.

I'm new to nursing and this site has helped me so much! Its very organized and does a good job and I'll continue to use them!

It is a forum where people are allowed to bash each other, the moderating and truth telling is non existent

Love this site! It's great to have a place that you can mingle with others in the nursing field. Strongly recommend checking it out.

This site was my resource as I switched careers after many years working and supporting my family. I was glad to find others in my same situation and want to thank my friends on allnurses for all their help.

For no reason, I was banned. I cannot think of any reason that I would be banned. I loved website until now. I did not argue with anyone, or anything in that manner. Bam, I was banned. No explanation, nothing.

I saw this site listed on Google... I didn't think much of it but I'm glad I clicked. It's exactly what I needed. This is a great resource for students who want a career in NCLEX. You will find EVERYTHING. Rants. Knowledge. Help. Examples. Discussions. Magazine.

I', sickened to think that this site for nurses was founded by a psychopath who took his whole family on vacation and them murdered them one by one, before killing himself,
Planned the whole thing and bought the gun ahead of time.
Disgusting.
This site has also never supported nurses. It will ban you for leaving a link for nurses who need help with addiction so they can get help from other nurses. Nurseboards.com is a much better option than this crazy site. Nurseboards allows you to actually create your own groups, make them private and even hidden from Google indexing. There is a group for every specialty. A much better option than this madness. IMO

I am a Cardiac Intensive Care Nurse and I have used AllNurses.com through college and I continue using it even today.

I went to the site and hoped to experience a community of shared experiences. But instead, I was greeted with elitist, self-centered, snobs with closed minds. If you have a concern or a question regarding your experiences in nursing or prenursing, google is your friend, because all nurses will only further make you feel like crap. Please dont contribute to this horrible place. It will ruin you emotionally and deter you from your ambitions. It will also impact your self-esteem even more than when you first came onto the forums when you had a real concern and legitimate questions. Just go to your school's counselors, these bigots are on a fascist level. They will discriminate against your GPA, your experiences with an absolute lack of compassion.
This place is a circle jerk and if you sell your soul and kiss $#*! here, you will be fine, but if you have an actual question or need support emotionally? Good luck, it's like throwing a bloody limb into a pool of piranhas. They will rip you apart. If you honestly have questions or concerns, make an appointment with an advisor.
I warned you.

You will be called awful, not good enough, suck it up, deal with it,

The website was founded by a guy who butchered his whole family. Kids and all.
The current administration seems just as whacko.
They allow bigoted, racist, homophobic posts to stay up and instead delete/ban those who take offense to such horrible posts.

I've been a lurker at allnurses.com for years and finally made the jump to being a full member earlier this year. The site is simply amazing. I absolutely love the changes that were made to allnurses.com earlier this year and can say that I've never had an issue with the moderators or site staff.

There ads on the site but, come on, what website in 2019 doesn't have ads?!?

Frequent posters come and go but that is natural given the fact that these are real, working nurses who have jobs and lives. The changing faces on the site keep it fresh and bring new perspectives to the conversations.

As for people getting banned, it happens. People get put in Twitter and Facebook "jail" all the time. Deleting toxic posts on allnurses.com is a good thing because I'd rather have real conversations instead of a couple sour apples ruining an otherwise helpful and informative website.

In short, I'll keep coming back because I love the people and I love the conversations!

Unlike the reviews here, I don't have any problems with the moderators of the site. From what I've seen they get rid of the trouble makers. Basically, it's a positive place and they try to keep it that way.

If you are a new-comer, read the TOS. If you break it you will be warned. Repeated abuse will get you banned. I believe that applies to all discussion sites. It's the first thing I read and it was standard stuff with specifics on what you can or cannot do.

Now, let's get straight into a review of the site...

It's monetized with ads - but so is a lot of other sites.

The mobile version is a bit slower than others.

Their search is basically powered by Google but for me it's not that robust. For some reason, I have a hard time finding anything new or specific.

It's a large site. I had a hard time finding where to post but eventually I learned. I did noticed that they will move your post to the "best place".

It's great talking to familiar 'professionals'. People who are going through the same thing you are at work.

Overall, I like it. I keep going back.
