Are The Anonymous Forums Helpful or Harmful for Nurses?

Are The Anonymous Forums Helpful or Harmful for Nurses?

You can covercontraversial topics in the Anonymous Forums

ProNurse

There is no doubt that the ProNurse forums are the heart of the site.

The way that most members share information with other nurses, student nurses or wannabe nurses is indicative of why nurses chose to care for others for a living.

One area that has always caused controversy is the Anonymous Forums.

When the site was started it was thought that these forums would be used to share frustrations about particular issues at work and to ask advice without having to put your name to your comments.

The forums have been successfully used for this on many occasions, even though a number of times the advice was sought on very personal issues rather than work matters!

Unfortunately there is also a tendency for some people to make unpleasant, or even insulting comments secure in their anonymity.

Suggested ways to use the Anonymous Forums


Keep your sense of humour!

If you post something that you need advice about, do expect some cheeky comments. It can be just too tempting not to make a funny comment when no-one knows who is saying it! Some may border on insulting, but we hope that these remain at a minimum level.

Don’t feed the ‘trolls’

If someone has said something ridiculous or annoying they are probably just trying to wind you up. Just ignore the comment and move on. Nurses know that there are some strange people out there – they visit forums and some of them are nurses too!

Don’t believe everything you read!

Any anonymous person can appear to be an expert. If someone makes a comment in our standard forums you can look at their profile to see something about them.

Be nice!

Treat other people as you would like to be treated. It is such a good feeling when a stranger does something considerate for you with no thought of reward. This happens a lot in our forums so join in and continue the trend!

Should I sign my posts in the Anonymous Forums?

There are some people who sign their posts as they feel that if you should stand by what you have said. However, while this does have many advantages, the aim of the forums is to cater for the majority and we know that a significant proportion of people using forums are worried about what people will say about their comments.

We want to ensure that these people continue to post and continue to get the benefit of the advice and friendship that they can receive from these forums.

If you want to put your name after your post that is fine and it can certainly help in some situations. However, it is not called the Anonymous Forums for nothing so don’t feel obliged!

    I believe that this is a neat website. The information ad facts that I gathered here was very helpful. I will undoubtedly bookmark this site. With a little luck, there will probably be new information by then.
