    oramar replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    (small rant here) I actually encountered a question like this on a compentency test while applying for a job. In addition to the info provided on this question about the patient, there was a set of...

  4. Quick rant

    oramar replied to MinnieMomRN's topic in General Nursing

    If I had just had an accident I would be so embarrassed I would be reluctant to shout it out over the intercom also. However, I can't understand why people won't ask for water or food over

  5. oversaturation makes managers arrogant

    oramar replied to RN1980's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Old timers have seen and heard this before. I retired just at the right time, 3 years ago right before this went down. I will never have to listen to "nurses are a dime a dozen" again. I have...

  6. Nursing...recession proof??

    oramar replied to FAMUNewGrad's topic in General Nursing

    I for one don't blame new grads for being a bit put out by the problems they are having. I remember the kind of blitz that was put out about HUGE nursing shortage. I don't blame them for believing...

  7. Paper license?

    oramar replied to oramar's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    That is interesting that you didn't get one last time because I did. I have it right in front of me. Perhaps I got paper because I renewed via mail last time. This is first time I renewed via...

  9. The Politics of Mgmt Cleaning house

    I think they are pushing out of older higher paid employees to hire cheaper younger ones. It is as plain and simple as that. When they lose all that experience at the same it is the patient that...

  10. Interesting article about conflicting reports concerning the nursing shortage...

    oramar replied to wifeandmomoftwo's topic in General Nursing

    The line in the article, "most hospitals have dangerously low levels of nurses" is very disturbing. This means the nurses that have jobs are being pushed to the limit and beyond. So what happens if...

  12. Going to Nursing School at an Older Age

    oramar replied to AmaurosisFugax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it is fine to change careers at any age. Just don't go into a lot of debt if you are in your late 40s or 50s. That leaves you paying student loans till you are nearly 80. Peoples incomes...

  15. At Age 70 I will still have Student Loans to Pay-OUCH!

    oramar replied to GoNightingale's topic in General Nursing

    Remember, just don't default because they will garnish your SSI. That is only the government student loans that do that. I am fairly certain of this because I saw a show about it on 60 minutes....

  20. Recession creates apathy.

    oramar replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    oramar replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    For all the complaining I do about management, I have never had one single manager who gave me any grief over the vacation I had already scheduled when they hired me. All of them were willing to...

  24. New RN who may lose her Med Surg job

    oramar replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    I am disappointed in them but not in you. Hands on skills come slowly to some. Everyone knows that. Even though some will not be as good as others most will get it well enough to function. Shame...

  25. Pension, I can't believe it.

    oramar posted a topic in Retired Nurses

    So I did work for 10 years at a institution that has a defined benefit plan and I figured since I was getting SSI at age 62 I would apply for that also. Every place else I worked had 401k. Last week...
