    oramar replied to gentle's topic in General Nursing

    How old is this person. Are they on a transplant list? I never had a person with EF that low. I wouldn't think they would live long no matter what kind of treatment they

  4. H1N1 Vaccine in October, IF all goes well.(that is a big IF)

    oramar replied to oramar's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I can remember the vaccine distribution in Pittsburgh very well. There were two deaths at the center just a few blocks from my home. I mean I watched it happen. The people waiting in line were very...

  5. Baby Evacuation Device

    oramar replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This brings to mind a poncho that was invented by a nurse in the 1960. Haven't seen one in years. It had 6 or 8 big pockets for newborns. It was to be used in case a newborn nursery had to be...

  6. Canada's healthcare saved her; Ours won't cover her

    oramar replied to blue note's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The article asked if she thought she would have got the same treatment down here. She said she didn't know. The truth is she would have. Do to her age she would have most likely received the same...

  7. Canada's healthcare saved her; Ours won't cover her

    oramar replied to blue note's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am a liberal and am a supporter of universal health insurance. However, I do question whether the person who wrote this article is infering that a person having a similar accident down here would...

  8. Morale in my workplace is just deteriorating

    oramar replied to Scrubby's topic in General Nursing

    How far away are those hospitals that the docs say staff the OR properly? Sounds to me like you have a highly transferable skill set. Could you go to one of them and get a job. Typical management...

    oramar replied to more than a mom's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Nice bennies, I also like the fact that they don't mandate. Perhaps has something to do with new law that takes effect in

  12. local health departments and flu

    oramar replied to oramar's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Let me see, feds are going to give 1.5 million to health depts to fight flu. That from a goverment that just gave billions and billions to crooked bankers. Hmmm, what is wrong with that

  13. Calling in....

    oramar replied to SweetLemon's topic in General Nursing

    Some places have had to put policies limiting what management is permitted to ask under these circumstances. This being due to the fact that demanding more info on one person and letting another...

  14. Acute Care for the Elderly position at a hospital - is it a good job for a new grad?

    oramar replied to New Grad STL's topic in General Nursing

    If this is all you can get TAKE IT. You will be surprised what you can learn. It will be much easier then to take a job in an department which would be considered a good launching pad for CRNA. If...

  15. One on ones are killing us for staffing!

    oramar replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    You spell out the problem pretty well. Management needs to be ready to spend the extra money to cover one on ones. Right now they don't want to do it. Probably because they don't get reimbursed....

  17. Could you new grads that had trouble with job search do me a favor.

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

  19. "She's a FLOOR nurse..."

    oramar replied to Penelope_Pitstop's topic in General Nursing

    Your post brought tears to my eyes. How can anyone say a disrespectful thing like that to a person who cares for the elderly, frail and disabled. These patients are in such desperate

  20. "She's a FLOOR nurse..."

    oramar replied to Penelope_Pitstop's topic in General Nursing

    Two thumbs up to your sis. A lot of ICU nurses will post that they would not go back out on the floor for all the money in the world. I have worked in ICU, CCU and stepdown as well as med/surg and...

    Is there any evidence that a lot of the people who have died up here were actually exposed in Mexico. Is it possible that somehow the virus strain down there is more sever? I guess we have been over...
