  1. story about new mom that made it

    oramar replied to oramar's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Sounds like it was close, as close as you can go without actually passing over. Thank goodness because it means, one less motherless child, wifeless husband, childless parents. I don't think the...

    oramar replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    oramar replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

  11. NON-Nurses Giving Shots in MD Offices

    oramar replied to nyforlove's topic in General Nursing

    One thing you have to stress that even in the states where MA are permitted to do shots, the doctor is totally responsible for any mistakes they make. That means his license and his

  13. The Scarce Resource Dilemna

    oramar replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

  15. Am I In trouble?

    oramar replied to gwafuh_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely, you are not the only one at fault. I think there is to much worrying about fault. I think it was wrong of the supervisor to come up and lay it on you like it was your

  16. Am I In trouble?

    oramar replied to gwafuh_rn's topic in General Nursing

    My guess is that it is one of those learning experiences we all have. If the order was written at 2pm, then of course it should have been given by your shift. However, you did have a responsibility...

    oramar replied to ozoneranger's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    oramar replied to jennifers's topic in Disaster Preparation

    oramar replied to rayk1021's topic in General Nursing
