  2. Why would a facility over-hire nurses?

    oramar replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

  9. Flu Vaccine caused the flu of 1918?

    oramar replied to Vtachy1's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That fellow that said that is an idiot. Not only was there NO vaccine in 1918 but no one even knew what a virus was. A virus is so small that no one had a way of seeing one back them. Do a little...

  16. rhythm question

    oramar replied to Hoosiernurse's topic in General Nursing

    Even so, is that eye rolling necessary? What does it accomplish? If it were me I would merely indicate I was not comfortable with something in report. I would engage the person in a discussion...

  17. Nursing shortage....really?
