  1. Started my probation. Need help!

    osceteacher replied to Calirn_'s topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm always a amazed that the country most obsessed with giving prescription opiods has some of the strictest policies on opiods, if you're giving them out like candy why be so anal about them? Such a...

  2. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    osceteacher replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe if you weren't so incorrect people might take your post more seriously. To suggest 4-5 patients in the ICU would be the norm is objectively nonsense and just scaremongering and in fact its the...

  3. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    osceteacher replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Someone doesn't know what they're talking about. Its not about saving $34 trillion for crying out loud, its estimated to cost $32 trillion and the US ALREADY pays $34 trillion so it would save $2...

  4. Nurse Practitioner (Mother) leaves 21 month old in car for 8 hours

    osceteacher replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I don't like the tagline 'this could happen to any of us' because that ain't happening to my kids. I don't really have a massive amount of sympathy for the mother only the child that

  5. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    osceteacher replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Sadly I realised after I posted my second post and therefore couldn't edit my original, but that wasn't the only incorrect part of your post so I still stand by what I said. I imagine this is the...

  6. Falls

    osceteacher replied to Marija1's topic in General Nursing

    Termination is a ridiculous thing to do over this from the scenario you gave. I mean, seriously ridiculous. Yeah, you should have done XYZ and you should take more personal ownership of your mistake...

  7. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    osceteacher replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, unfortunately people will just take a statistic and use it as a gotcha moment, its a particularly egregious misuse of statistics that you see regularly from people on the internet. We have lower...

  8. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    osceteacher replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Its a real shame that the first post is this often incorrect and fallacious one. Bernie Sanders does not want a UK healthcare style system, for crying out loud people. You take a few numbers and damn...

  9. Can I get Fired?

    osceteacher replied to Minniegirl0604's topic in General Nursing

    Doubt it, you're not administering anything in to yourself. I always talking from an NHS perspective of course, but there's no way you would get in trouble simply for practising on each

  10. Nurses that “only do it for the money”

    osceteacher replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

    I became a nurse for the career, never been in hospital, never worked in hospital didn't even know if I'd like it. Thankfully I did and I'm good at it, just because someone signs up for this reasons...

  11. Are all for-profit hospitals soul-sucking despots that truly only care about the bottom line

    osceteacher replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    This is how private healthcare generally works* The rest of the developed world's hospitals do not generally work like

  12. I was slapped by a patient

    osceteacher replied to FNPStudentLife's topic in General Nursing

    Its always good to vent but you really need to get this

  13. Ridiculous medical mistakes on TV

    osceteacher replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nursing Humor

    Thanks! I knew it was Ryan Renolds but I couldn't remember the film. Just reading the comments in there. "Best ending ever!". No, its one of the worst! I didn't even notice that one wasn't vented,...

  14. Ridiculous medical mistakes on TV

    osceteacher replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nursing Humor

    I watched a film and it had 2 ventilated patients right next to each other, the guy in the middle grabbed 2 power point plugs and pulled them out, both patients then instantly flatlined. Wound me...

  15. Med error

    osceteacher replied to snh2009's topic in General Nursing

    Don't beat yourself up too much, I once put atropine eye drops in a patients eye, didn't read the prescription and it was for his mouth. Guy had blurry vision and a less dry mouth...I did report it as...

  16. Interesting case of the spilled pills

    osceteacher replied to KCMnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Huh? This is proper mental. There are too many gifs I could think to

  17. Curiosity Killed the Cat and Got 50 Hospital Employees Fired

    osceteacher replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting, 50 people is huge. I once checked my own records which I know is definitely not allowed. Not sure why I took the risk at the time but I couldn't get through to the doctor for days and...

  18. Unvaccinated Boy in Oregon gets Tetanus

    osceteacher replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm no fan of censorship but these kind of false facts are dangerous and the people perpetuating them should be banned, especially when they're health professionals. If you're going to offer a counter...

  19. Robot tells man he'll be dead in hours

    osceteacher replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Poor robots are getting tarred with a brush they don't deserve. They've got no chance when they become self aware. A 'robot' did nothing, a human thought it best to tell a patient they were dying by...

  20. Unvaccinated Boy in Oregon gets Tetanus

    osceteacher replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Imagine being so deeply nutty that you think you can extrapolate the imaginary 84 deaths due to tetorifice vaccines to suddenly being 8400. Or suggesting that the public don't know that vaccines...

  21. Are you angry about the NMC OSCE???

    osceteacher replied to WrigleyRN's topic in International Nursing

    I work for one such place but I'm not here to advertise my own courses so I shall share some information from google. https://www.nursingjobsuk.co.uk/training/osce-training...

    osceteacher replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    This is quite ludicrous to read. The world is getting

  24. Are you angry about the NMC OSCE???

    osceteacher replied to WrigleyRN's topic in International Nursing

    OSCE is much improved now, the pass rate has shot up due to simple but obviously needed changes. it went from 40% to about 80% and our trust now has a 100% pass rate in the last 8 months. I am no...

  25. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    osceteacher replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    We're all capable of making mistakes, I'd like to think most of us aren't capable of making one like this where you wilfully neglect all of the core principles of safe
