  1. Scared to Death!!!

    oramar replied to suzyQ73's topic in General Nursing

    That is rough but very few people get through nursing school without having a rotation that doesn't go well. You are not alone. Hopefully you will have some good experiences

  2. US Govt Faces No Win Fight with Flu Vaccine

    oramar replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes, I have no doubt that making the vaccine was the right thing to do. It would have been criminal not to at least try. They actually did a very good job. It is the high expectations the CDC...

  5. US Govt Faces No Win Fight with Flu Vaccine

    oramar replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think you and I were quite incredulous when those promises were made Indigo. I even did a post called, "that is a big IF". How come two nurses off in the hinterland could figure out that the...

  6. No Prior Existing Conditions but Dead Anyway

    oramar replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Chances are that several other people in this family had it also. The question is WHY in a group of people with the same genetic makeup does one die when the others get better. I hope there will be...

    oramar replied to GFzalez's topic in Disaster Preparation

    They had that young couple on TV that had to deliver the fetus early to save the mother's life. She was only 6 months at the time and they knew if they took the baby that early it might not make it....

  8. What is happening in your hospital? Not using N95 mask, NO screening for H1N1 ,

    oramar replied to JobsearchingRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It is the conflicting information that is a pain. Some people will tell you N95 must be used and other's say sugical mask are OK too. Some people say that N95 can't be had and other's say "no...

  9. What is happening in your hospital? Not using N95 mask, NO screening for H1N1 ,

    oramar replied to JobsearchingRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It doesn't help that USA Today is carrying an article that says a surgical mask is as good as a N95. I was so mad when I saw it. It is on front page in lower left handed

  11. Worst Case: Choosing Who Survives in a Flu Epidemic

    oramar replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It sounds as if the vent this young man is on happens to be his own property, though I am not sure of it. I don't think you could take a persons private property. Much more likely is the situation I...

    oramar replied to LuvPedsNrsg's topic in General Nursing

    oramar replied to jessiern's topic in General Nursing

    I have to tell you the rapid flu test are highly inaccurate even when done properly. Don't risk you life and that of your child on a flu test that isn't accurate. We are in a epidemic situation,...

  14. Life right now as a new grad has become my worst nightmare

    oramar replied to BeatDownNewGrad's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Please don't resent the people you see in scrubs. They are not the ones that mislead you. In the past 10 years right here on this site I read a thousand post that said the same thing, "the nursing...

  16. Ny doh suspends vaccines?!

    oramar replied to RNsckofit's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If you read my past post I do believe I said on a antivax thread that the real problem was a vaccine shortage not people being forced to take it against there will. The trick is having enough for...

  17. CBS NEWS: Swine Flu Cases Overestimated...Whodathunk?

    oramar replied to H_2_O's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This is about what went on early in the outbreak. The title to the thread is misleading. The article is about the CDC's decision to stop collecting data so early in the outbreak. I was a bit...

  19. HCW Fatalities

    oramar replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

  20. NY Nurse Develops Guillain-Barre After Influenza Vaccine

    oramar replied to MikeyBSN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think it is a safe bet that the nurse got GBS from the vaccine. I remember the Hong Kong flu epidemic of 1972 very well. First of all because I got it and was very sick. Second of all because two...

  23. Do per diem positions get orientation/training?

    oramar replied to tinatinabobina's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Usually these positions go to very experienced nurses. I have had several per-diem positions. They have different names but usually are just about the same thing. High pay, few benefits and little...

    oramar replied to annmariern's topic in General Nursing

    My husband and I are in early 60s. I have watched him get better medical care than me all my life. That goes double since we have got older. He has never had any trouble getting anyone to believe...
