I don't usually directly link to or even really discuss AllNurses.com on my blog, as I prefer to keep my writing here separate from my moderator work on the forum.   However....today, the two worlds will converge.

I...well, all of us, have been blindsided by this.  I couldn't believe when I saw this in the news and I went to the forum hoping that it was a horrible mistake or a bad joke gone wrong.   Not much is known at this time other than five lives have been lost.

I am honored to have known Brian and to have been part of his team at the forum.   He was a good guy and I'll always remember how cheerful he was at NTI this past May.
