I love getting a couple of hours CPD effortlessly!

I love being able to get answers to questions i have no clue about, particularly when I'm now sole nurse I don't often have many people to 'bandy' ideas around with apart from my boss who is fantastic, but when she's not sure either or we're debating something

I must have been staying away frm the posts with tension in!

I love this site beacuse I can pick up new tips and usually the jokes and videos are hilarious! and cheer up my day :) I joined the site about 3 years go when I was looking for help on anatomy and it came up in google! been very helpful and entertaining since.

Have had lots of advice on a number of questions i've had now its been great :D

I feel I need to search round the site more as I never knew there was that "wiki" section! just had a quick browse through.

I'm going to add to mine

5. it now counts towards CPD

Thank you for starting this post. It can be a bit disheartening for me when a spat breaks out, and conversely hugely rewarding and motivating for me to read all this lovely stuff! Also very helpful for me to know what you think are the strengths of the site, so I can try an improve it. So thanks to everyone who has replied too!

Thanks for providing the site Arlo. I wouldn't be without it.

There's a great, varied bunch on here and although we sometimes may have debates, heated or not. I feel that is often what makes the forum, as we are clearly all very passionate. Besides, if we all agreed on things I'm sure there wouldn't be as many posts on here!

I think debates, discussions and disagreements are par for the course BUT not always a bad thing, sometimes we get out of hand but again it just proves we are passionate and truly believe in our points. I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing

Thanks again to everyone on here and of course Arlo

I have met (virtual) and in the flesh some really nice people on here. I love all the amazing ideas that people come up with, and I know I will always get a zillion answers to any question posed on here, whether veterinary related or not.

Snap to everything already said

One problem with the site...it takes up too much of my time

Re: HAPPY FORUM

Saskia Quinn — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 19:18:19 GMT

I like meeting (well virtual meeting lol!) others in the profession, getting to know how other practices are run, picking up tips all the time, the learning I have got from this site has been really invaluable and I am pleased to say I have made some nice friends from here!

Re: HAPPY FORUM

hissycat — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 12:13:51 GMT

This is easily the best forum i've come across

It's been a lifeline since i've discovered it

Its invaluable as a source of clincical info and the working practices of others

i love a good heated debate and on here I find people can get their point across without resorting to expletives! (i'm sure those who read other internet forums will know what I mean!)

Theres never too much textspeak. I like proper words

People are super supportive when you have a problem but also honest if you need it!
