  3. Paramedic to RN: Where do I belong?!

    Torachan replied to LadyBugLass's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like ER wouldn't be the place for you. I am an aspiring Paramedic and I have been for several ride alongs. I have been told about their worst cases. A guy called an ambulance because he cut...

  4. How do you feel about child molesters?

    Torachan replied to Blackcat99's topic in Correctional

  7. How do you feel about child molesters?

    Torachan replied to Blackcat99's topic in Correctional

    OOO Blackcat99 - you are a bit of a stirer :) This thread will quickly degenerate into a nasty little one. So why don't I start. They lose all citizenship rights and are to leave the country...

    Torachan replied to RNin92's topic in Emergency

    Thanks everyone for the great posts. They really brightened up my evening. Stretch thin - a suggestion for the guy with the cath... get a male to perform it and make him go in with a large tube then...

  9. Paramedic to RN: Where do I belong?!

    Torachan replied to LadyBugLass's topic in General Nursing

    Actually thinking about ER... as a paramedic you had the opportunity to drop them off and letting someone else deal with them. If you go with the ER option then you would become that someone. Also I...

  11. Paramedic to RN: Where do I belong?!

    Torachan replied to LadyBugLass's topic in General Nursing

    Torachan replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    One day the powers that be will address the problem (i think it has a lot to do with being based at university). Until that day we will just have to bust our hump and wait for the day to say "we told...

  15. Whistle Blower Protections Goes to Committee

    Torachan replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Don't know how things are in the US but here in Australia we hate "cobber dobbers" and traditionally whistle-blowers are crucified. This is despite the fact that the decision is never taken lightly,...

  16. Move to Australia

    Torachan replied to minnieme104's topic in International Nursing

    Hope things work out for you here in Aus. Don't get upset if people confuse you for an american as we (as a general rule) can't tell the difference in accents (well at least no one I know can). Where...

    Torachan replied to nursebedlam's topic in International Nursing

    Torachan replied to ShimmaShimma0304's topic in General Nursing

    Torachan replied to uk_nurse's topic in General Nursing
