How to make this a safe site?

Posted over 4 years ago A few discussions were started on here about safety issues. One of the suggestions was that the NL staff should verify that members are licensed nurses or nursing students before granting full access to the site. Do you agree with this?

| Posted over 4 years ago It seems like a good idea, but how can we be sure our info wont be accidently given out, or recieved as a result of solfware glich or hackers. Also, I would hope it wouldn't keep students off the site. Now I have seen people on here who fish for medical care, also we had a jerk being a jerk...............they called him/her a troll because he/she said inappropriate stuff on threads to include racial slurs. Id like to see the jerks off. Sounds ok, but I'm cautious. We only have one heart, take care of it! Angie |

| Posted over 4 years ago The things you can do to keep yourself safe online, is never give out personal information. Don't put your personal zip code, choose a different one, don't use your own name. I see several here who use their first and last names. Change this and make up a nick. |

| Posted over 4 years ago I tired to edit my personal info but couldn't do it. Some stuff you can change, but I couldn't get my last name or city off. I sent a message to "Editor" to ask how, and never heard back. Does any one know how to edit that info? Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that stood it's ground.

| Posted over 4 years ago My name came off without any problem, however the only way I could change the city was to change the zip code. |

| Posted over 4 years ago I would like to see some VERIFICATION done on this site to prove that you are a nurse or nursing student. |

| Posted over 4 years ago The information would go to NL staff only and noone on here would have a way to get to it. It would not keep students away. They only need to send to NL proof they are a student. |

| Posted over 4 years ago I think it is a good idea, one of the medical sites I also belong to is owned and run by doctors, in order to be accepted you must be an RN or higher than that in Medicine, you first give your lic number and they verify it and then you are accepted. This would prevent stalkers or the few weirdos we have had here show up and end the solicitors that have tried to get in, although we nipped them in the bud, but it would work, not sure if this site is set up to do that though. I am just not sure with the students it would work out because who is to say the paper proof is real? And who on NL wants to be in charge of trying to verify if a document was real or fake? It can be created as we have all seen on the net, anything can be photo shopped and the schools are NOT allowed to give out or verify admission to school, so I think this would be a problem for THAT reason, we do not want to limit our nursing student s from participating in this site. It would be nice if the profile was more accurate when you set up your account, people putting in they are RN with BSN then they are still students, who is to say they would ever finish school, it is just confusing. Your service should be student, then you could put what you are in school for: RN, LVN, CNA etc. that would be my input for whatever it is worth. A busy RN is here |

| Posted over 4 years ago I omitted a lot from my profile page because I was approached by several members that are verrrrry strange. I wanted to post photos , but did not for the same reason. I am not yet a nurse OR even a student yet, but well on my way to becoming a student, so please don't exclude non students. I learn so much from you guys.Thank You All !!! |

| Posted over 4 years ago Will someone please message me and tell me how to get the city off completely? I tried changing the area code but the city never changed. I took off everything else. "Softly. deftly, music shall caress you. Feel it, hear it, secretly possess you...." |

| Posted over 4 years ago Go to "MY Profile" Then Click "Edit" Type in the new zip code. Do not forget to go to the bottom of the page and click "Submit" I bet that is the step you are missing. |

| Posted over 4 years ago I think I got my info to change to "viewable by friends only". I see many of the posters are on my friends list. If any one isn't would you please do me a huge favor and go to my profile and see if any of my info is still coming up? Thanks P.S. changing the zip code will change the city, but I really would like to get my last name off, and it keeps saying incomplete info and won't let me submit. Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that stood it's ground.

| Posted over 4 years ago I wonder if there is a way to make it so that you can only view a person's info if they have asked to be a "friend", I try to be very careful who I let on my list, but you can still everyone's info even if you haven't accepted them. Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that stood it's ground.
