  1. confused about nursing...

    oramar replied to heaverboo's topic in General Nursing

    My guess is administration has heard the news about the tight nursing job market. They have decided to take advantage, figuring that if people don't like it they can just leave and be replaced by...

  2. I think I'm losing it

    oramar replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    I think the dream is a good sign. When I start dreaming about things it means I am at least starting to deal with the situation. In some cases it means I am starting to accept the loss. Even when...

    oramar replied to praying_mantis's topic in General Nursing

  9. Are you aware of how you conduct yourself in public?

    oramar replied to rkitty198's topic in General Nursing

    I heard that anyone can report you to the BON. If a patient knows you were drunk and disorderly the night before and that is enough to make them nervous about the care they might receive they could...

  10. will returning nurses have as much trouble as new grads finding work?

    oramar replied to thekid's topic in General Nursing

    The truth is that even in a good job market you would have trouble coming back. It is difficult but not impossible. You are going to have to get your license back first then get into a refresher...

    oramar replied to GomerPyle's topic in General Nursing

    My experience with ICU was that it had two speeds, extremely busy to the point of being overwhelming and slow. Yes it can be very busy but the my limited experience was that it had times when nothing...

  12. Confrontation with a Visitor

    oramar replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I think the thread is misnamed. I would have called it, "today I stopped a perve from molesting an old lady". Much more appropriate I think. Good for you, I am completely on your

  13. Can I lose my license for having a seizure?

    oramar replied to LovebugLPN's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Oh you poor thing, the last line of your post just tears my heart out. How terrible for you to feel that way. I think the thing here is to get this under control some way. Is anyone talking to you...

  16. The Evil Empire Strikes Again

    oramar replied to lecavalier4's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

  17. Support Stickie for New nurses who are not coping

    oramar replied to madwife2002's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Two thumbs up to this manager. If you only knew how few would do this. They just lose people, don't know why, don't care why. Go out and get another nurse. They don't seem to realize that being...

  18. New Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh

    oramar replied to oramar's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    It was a really neat tour, got to see the inside of units we will never see once they actually open. So glad I went. They actually took us into regular patient rooms, ICU rooms, PAR and OR. We also...

  19. Confused, Mad and Frustrated

    oramar replied to rholman's topic in General Nursing

    I can't help but wondering if that remark your manager made about "you not being able to handle it because of being a single mother". Could that be construed as being discriminatory. Would they say...

  20. Have you read "Nursing Against the Odds"?

    oramar replied to ohcomeon's topic in General Nursing

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

    I remember going through something like the author of this thread describes. I was and still am fascinated by everything to do with cardiology. However, it is the very imperative of cardiac...

  22. Fine line of abuse

    oramar replied to RNMariposa's topic in General Nursing

  24. ortho pain control

    oramar replied to Mary Austin's topic in Orthopedic

    All I know is that joint commission and the state want people checked for pain. If the nurse is not asking about pain levels the standard of care is not being met. It is hard to decide what to do...

  25. Bad experience at the ER

    oramar replied to SillyPinkBunny's topic in Emergency

    I do feel you were treated coldly. But you know what, it is time to leave it go. What can you really accomplish by rehashing this two years later? It drags you down. I can probably list 10 times...
