  2. Front desk people giving medical advice

    oramar replied to pedspnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't quite agree with part of the point you make. It might be helpful in deflecting a wrongful dismissal suit. However, in the case of a non licensed person giving harmful advice to a patient, I...

  3. Front desk people giving medical advice

    oramar replied to pedspnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My experience is that the licensed professionals are the ones held responsible for mistakes made by a person in this position. My feeling is someone needs to show her more than the nurse practice...

    oramar replied to lifein08's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  6. When a nursing home shuts down.

    oramar replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

  8. People continue to come up with stories that strain my ability to believe them

    oramar posted a topic in General Nursing

    Every once I post a second hand story that I just got to talk about even while I have a hard time believing it. This one is about a manager that suspected an employee of meeting with a person on...

  9. Do hospitals incur a net gain or a net loss from the training of a new graduate RN?

    oramar replied to WDM08002's topic in First Year After Licensure

  10. Spoke too soon...

    oramar replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    It was always my experience that 3-11 was the busiest shift. Remember I am not saying that because I never worked any other shift. I worked nights and days as well as evenings. All shifts are busy,...

  11. Two years of med-surg are not magic.

    oramar replied to BonnieSc's topic in Medical-Surgical

    It just goes to show that in this economy many of the rules everyone swore by in other times just no longer apply. Please excuse this old timer for being slow to "get it". However, I must say that...

  13. An Ode To Assisted Living

    oramar replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

  16. A Nurses Responsibility: Report Possible Narcotic Diversion

    oramar replied to clebius's topic in General Nursing

    The rule for reporting drug diversion that you personally witness is pretty cut and dried. However, what about a situation where you overhear a conversation in which a co-worker tells another...

  17. Nursing students who do not understand what nursing is about

    oramar replied to DNS on the go's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I have to say that my favorite nursing educator left teaching because she felt the quality of the students was declining. Can I point out that was in 1982? I have heard all these complaints

  18. Why do we do this?

  19. Why do we do this?

    oramar replied to dzadzey's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with CCL RN, that is quite a shocking story New1LT tells. It reminds me of an article I read somewhere. It was written by a prominent journalist. It was called, "How a pacemaker destroyed a...

  24. Should a person with Essential Tremor pursue a nursing career?

    oramar replied to shakyinohio's topic in Nursing Career

    My doc's MA has the same thing. It hasn't interfered with her ability but she takes her meds. You know Obamacare is begging for people with pre-existing conditions to sign up. I think the problem...
