Good Bye

It's time for ERnursey to say goodbye. It has been great fun to be part of the blogosphere but what started out as a lark has started to take over my life. I'm spending too much time parked in front of the computer and not enough time getting off my duff and getting out in the world. I woke up awhile ago and realized that my children would be grown and gone in a few years and I didn't want them to remember mom spending all her time with the computer.

A heart-felt thanks to everyone who has taken the time to read what I have to say and comment. Good bye to all the other bloggers who got me started on the blogging road.

GOOD BYE EVERYONE, GOOD BYE!

Enjoy your family! You will be missed.

She will definitely be missed. I think of her as one of the "original" ER nurse bloggers. When I started reading I was but a young pup in nursing school. Now I'm......still in nursing school.

Joeymom said...

Oh, dear. Well, enjoy those children, they won't be little long. And think about becoming a nocturnal blogger, like me. ;)

Blogging does have a way of consuming your life if you let it. I completely understand your decision.

Enjoy yourself - You will certainly be missed!

Sad to see you go. Take care of you and yours.

You've been one of my favorites. I loved so many of your stories and your sassy attitude. But you deserve a break--or even retirement. Thank you for making our lives more interesting.

I hate to see you go, but family is more important that the blogosphere. Be well.

This is my favorite blog, I really look forward to new posts and your sense of humor. Actually, after reading the post about nursing 101, I thought to myself, "you know, she is right" and have been making a concerted effort to straighten linens and stock the warmer ever since. Sounds silly, but it's true! You have inspired me to be a better nurse.

I will miss your posting. I always look forward to turning on my computer and finding a post from you. I do understand though because, as you can see, I am suffering from the same thing. Maybe I need to learn this one last thing from you...take time with your family/kids.

Please come back to visit occaisionally.

God bless you, ER Nursey. You will be missed.

Good-bye ERNursey. Thanks for the good times and wonderful information you gave to us non-medical people.

Have a great life!

Good-bye and good luck.

You will be greatly missed, I've looked forward to your blog with baited breath for months but no more.

Enjoy your kids youth and good luck with whatever you choose to do in the future.

Ah, man. We're losing another good one. Consider posting every once in awhile when something extra juicy, cool, neato, etc. happens. OK - if not, just know you'll be missed!

Peter said...

Goodbye and thanks to my all-time favorite person to visit on the internet. Please consider coming back sometime. Thank you for all your wonderfully thought-provoking, honest, and insightful words. You're a no BS kinda gal and we'd all be lucky to have you take care of us or our loved-ones. I'm happy for you and sad for me. Have a great time with your family!

This is a huge loss for the nursing blog world. I am so sorry to see you go.

trinity said...

I'm really sorry to see you go - I'm not in the medical field - I'm actually in Education, but still enjoy your writing immensely. I'll miss you too.

CountyRat said...

I miss you already, ERnursey, but I am happy for this good change in your life. Enjoy every minute.

WhiteCoat said...

Your children will read through what you have written and remember mom as an insightful, thoughtful, and caring person. And a heckuva nurse to boot.
Cheers to one of the bloggers that got me addicted to blogging.
You'll be missed by all.

Joanna said...

I will miss your rants and stories. Enjoy the time with your family.

And, if after the kids have moved out, and you feel like starting the blog back up, I'll read it!

Ellen said...

I will really miss your blog. For some reason I only discovered you a few months ago, but have looked forward to each post. I am an ER nurse also and felt as if we worked side by side...except I enjoy Triage more. :)
At least I can read the past blogs.
Thank you for your thoughts.

Will miss you - all the way from South Africa,

p.s. how's this one - first three charactars of verification are 'RXN', which I figure must stand for retired ex-nursey !!

Aww heck. I'm gonna miss you. Thanks for sharing a part of your life with us.

RehabNurse said...

Good luck to you wherever you may roam!

Visiting the rest of the blogosphere is time-consuming too...use RSS feeds...it's quicker!

Life is what you make of it...enjoy!

If you ever get bored, come visit Hotel Rehab...we always leave a light on (less falls that way!)

danny said...

How did I miss this post? Bye ERnursey, and don't forget: you're a great person. I'll miss your writing, though I didn't comment much. Good luck with life and everything. :)

frectis said...
