Dear Lesa:
The site is exactly what it says: AllNurses. Nurses from any and everywhere are free to post there. The moderation of that site is not as strict as NoBlood where expressions of personal opinion are concerned. As with anything else on the web, one must sort out what is of benefit and what is not. There are nurses (as there are doctors, lawyers, and just plain folk) who find all kinds of things and people toward whom they are derogatory, including Jehovah's Witnesses. I am sorry if you became negatively affected by anything you read on that site.
The reason I included that particular link was to offer a source of nursing job descriptions that Witness nurses have chosen that do not involve the need to administer blood. I certainly would not recommend that site as a source of accurate information about the beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses. There are nurses who post there who obviously are misinformed and acrimonious about Jehovah's Witnesses. As a nurse and a Witness myself, I don't particularly enjoy sifting through some of the obviously negative posts, but have done so on occasion to locate information on alternative nursing jobs that don't involve giving blood. Some nurses who are also Witnesses post helpful items there regularly, and it is strictly for these contributions that I use that site. It is one way Witness RNs have of encouraging one another. Occasionally, useful accurate information can be transmitted to interested posters, as well. But I certainly can understand your feelings, and appreciate your speaking your mind.
