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.
Thanks for the review and helpful feedback. We are currently upgrading allnurses.com and hope that you keep coming back!
