Rick's reviews
Buxton Woods › October 4, 2014
Everything that you would want in a course, perfectly manicured, very unique holes, big teepads, Bentley baskets, hospitable course owners, and walkout signage. Thanks for a great first experience :)
Ewing Young › July 26, 2014
First time on the course! Tee signs are needing to be replaced/made and course map would have helped with the back-and-forths and walk outs, but great teepads and fairways! Had a -4 and would have been -8 but Chunked 4 putts from 35 ft and in with a card of 5 guys that were all pretty new to disc golf and no sense of Etiquette but it was all good and super fun layout!! Awesome course for intermediate-pro level holes.
North Eco Park › March 15, 2014
With the new signage and walkouts clearly marked, rubber teepads for every hole, and the technical variety of the course, it is great. Raised tee pads with drop off potentials on the drives can be rough, but it being a intermediate level course is great for the community.
Dave Heider's Hike › January 3, 2014
First time out; Absolutely love that course! Thanks Dave for your private tour in "your Christmas present" and I'm glad I got to be on your card! The burgers WERE AMAZING!! Literally the very first burger with Ketchup I have ever finished without wiping it off. Hope to be back some day!
Church Park › October 23, 2013
Love the teepads, woods, and two open shots; short course. -8 after 9 holes though, means that it is sometimes too easy but trees can become a factor
Herbert Hoover Park › September 4, 2013
Well, first time actually playing there. There is a course map at the entrance, but besides that I was going by what the locals told me which teepad goes to which basket. Loved getting all the birds, but course holes are way to short. I'll play there again :)
Portland Lunchtime DGC › April 6, 2013
Pier Park › March 22, 2013
Loved the trees, layout being longs and wooded, and great course grooming. Enough space in between each hole, and great signage and tee pads.
Aldersgate Conference Center › August 30, 2013
Awesome 9 hole that no one can play unless you are a camper or in the Jolly Campers club :) http://www.discgolfscene.com/clubs/Pure_Flight_Jolly_Campers
Timber Park › December 27, 2012
Great course; a lot of variety; fun to play again anytime of the year
Western Oregon University › October 25, 2012
First time at the school. 3 good Baskets, the rest were bent or older. There wasn't any variations of shots; wide open throws and sometimes weird depth perception. Course not very challenging and can easy see people getting -9 on 9 holes.
Champoeg State Park › October 5, 2012
First time playing. Short layout was fine. Baskets not my favorite as my discs fell out on several putts.
Echo Park › October 5, 2012
Bryant Park › September 22, 2012
Very long :) well groomed... Played with a group of four and five.
Pine Nursery › September 21, 2012
Hard on the discs during the dry months but easy to find your discs as long as they are bright red, orange, or pink.

Fisting may be performed with or without a partner. In a separate article analyzing 12 men who engaged in bestiality, an additional analysis of an 11-man subgroup revealed that 6 had engaged in coprophilic behavior, compared with only 1 in the matched control group consisting of 12 SM-oriented males who did not engage in bestiality. Social attitudes towards the discussion and presentation of sexuality has become more tolerant and legal definitions of obscenity have become more limited, leading to an industry for the production and consumption of pornography in the latter half of the 20th century.

US official: chemical weapons likely used in SyriaAugust 25, 2013 @ 5:53 am
WASHINGTON (AP) - A senior administration official says there is "very little doubt" that a chemical weapon was used by the Syrian regime against civilians in an incident that killed at least a hundred people last week.
The official says Sunday that the U.S. intelligence community based its assessment given to the White House on "the reported number of victims, reported symptoms of those who were killed or injured, and witness accounts." The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to speak publicly.
The official says the White House believes the Syrian government is barring a U.N. investigative team immediate access to the site of a reported Aug. 21 chemical attack in the Damascus suburbs in order to give the evidence of the attack time to degrade.

Clarion LBV Review
Stayed at Clarion LBV for 2 nights in late April. Got a great deal- $45 a night ($51 a night after taxes). We were looking for a clean, close, inexpensive place to stay offsite while we recovered from our 16 hour drive down to WDW before checking in to our onsite accommodations.
Got the deal through the hotel's website- but also available through Travel Zoo and other sites too. There was an option of adding a breakfast on for an extra $10- we did not do this.
The best part of this resort:
-LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!!!! Was so close to Downtown Disney and WDW in general. You will not find a better deal closer for less money that doesn't nickel and dime you on extra fees (parking, resort fees, etc.) there are NONE at Clarion LBV.
-Close to many many restaurants and DTD. There is also a pretty frequent shuttle to the WDW Parks and Universal and Sea World (we did not use- but many people at the hotel used this).
Check in was easy, room was clean, housekeeping and maintenance prompt and friendly (one of my kids used too much toilet paper and we needed a plunger).
Pool and splash pad area, were nice and well maintained. Laundry was adequate, property in general was in good condition- typical buggy-ness to the corridors as they were exterior and well... it's FL and buggy. No worse than we saw at CSR and on previous trips to Marriott Vacation Club locations in Orlando area.
The low down is this. If you are doing Disney on a budget I would highly recommend Clarion LBV. There were lots of families and youth groups (all well behaved). It's a budget property and expect it to be as such. Exterior corridors, one side faces busy highway (did not notice noise when inside my room), things are a little worn- but you get what you pay for- this is not the Ritz or a Marriott, or even a newer mid priced hotel-- this is budget friendly, adequate, and clean. Everything exceeded my (minimal) expectations. You can't beat the LOCATION!!!!

I am SO relieved to hear this! I thought I was bidding on a 3 star hotel on Priceline but when I hit the button it went to 2 star! It was too late to do anything and I got a hotel (actually 2 rooms) for $50 a night so I couldn't eat $100. I told everyone, "We'll it's only for 1 night". I'm glad to hear its going to be ok because we're set to arrive in a week!

US to exchange ambassadors with Burma
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has announced that Washington will start the process of exchanging ambassadors with Burma.
The announcement came hours after the country's most prominent political dissidents were released from jail.
US President Barack Obama described the move as a "substantial step forward".
The move is seen as one of the key demands of Western nations before international sanctions can be eased. The US stopped short of lifting them.
Mr Obama said he had asked officials to take "additional steps to build confidence" with Burma.
"Much more remains to be done to meet the aspirations of the Burmese people, but the United States is committed to continuing our engagement," he said.
"In Indonesia, I spoke about the flickers of progress that were emerging in Burma.
When Mrs Clinton went to Burma in December, the US took a gamble. She wanted to gauge for herself whether President Thein Sein was serious about opening up the country. The visit was also meant to encourage him to take further, more serious steps towards reforms.
The first visit of an American secretary of state to Burma in 50 years could have been taken as a reward in itself and the changes could have stopped there. But there have been prisoner releases, truce deals with ethnic minorities and easing of some political restrictions.
The US will continue to reward reforms, but lifting of sanctions is unlikely to happen until it's clear that changes in Burma are irreversible. This is a success for the Obama administration and the policy of engagement it has pursued with Burma. But it was only made possible by Burma's own, unexpected, decision to reach out to the US. Other countries like Iran and North Korea have not ''unclenched their fist'' despite Obama's overtures.
"Today, that light burns a bit brighter, as prisoners are reunited with their families and people can see a democratic path forward."
Mrs Clinton said a US ambassador would be identified, but the restoration of ties would be a lengthy process dependent on further reform.
"An American ambassador will help strengthen our efforts to support the historic and promising steps that are now unfolding," she said.
Washington withdrew its ambassador from Burma in 1990, after the country's military rulers ignored elections won by Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD).
Broad economic sanctions were introduced by Western nations progressively throughout the 1990s, including arms embargos, travel bans on leading members of the regime, asset freezes and bans on investment.'Constructive role'
UK Foreign Secretary William Hague also hailed the release of political prisoners as a "further demonstration of the Burmese government's commitment to reform".
There was jubilation as the prisoners were reunited with their families and friends.
Those freed include 1988 student activists, monks involved in 2007 protests and ethnic-minority activists.
But the real test will be how much freedom the released prisoners will have to continue their activities, says BBC South East Asia editor Rachel Harvey.
State TV had announced that 651 prisoners would be freed under a new presidential pardon, but did not say how many would be political.
Burma's government does not recognise political prisoners, saying only that people are jailed for criminal activity.
But in a statement broadcast on TV, President Thein Sein said those released were people who could "play a constructive role in the political process".
Aung San Suu Kyi said the move was a "positive sign".'Healthy and happy'
One of those freed was Min Ko Naing, considered by many to be the highest-profile dissident still behind bars.
A crowd greeted him as he emerged from prison in Thayet, 545km (345 miles) north of Rangoon.
Another veteran member of Burma's 88 Generation Students, Nilar Thein, confirmed to the BBC that she had been freed from Tharya Wadi prison.
The activist served eight years in prison after the 1988 demonstrations and was jailed again in 2008 for 65 years for illegally using electronic media.
"I'm healthy and happy to be released and happy to see my baby," she told the BBC, referring to her daughter, from whom she has been separated for more than four years.
She said that although she had been released, 25 more political prisoners remained inside the prison.
Prisoners released 13 January
- Min Ko Naing, Ko Ko Gyi, Ko Jimmy and Nilar Thein, 88 Generation Students
- U Khun Tun Oo, top Shan leader
- Five journalists from exiled broadcaster DVB
- Former PM Khin Nyunt freed from house arrest
- Buddhist monk Shin Gambira
- Exact numbers of political prisoners freed remain unclear
Her husband, Kyaw Min Yu, known as Ko Jimmy, has also been freed, as well as Htay Kywe, a student activist jailed in 2007 for 65 years.
Another student leader, Ko Ko Gyi, said he was excited about having been released.
"The rule of democracy is the buzz word in our country so they cannot U-turn, that's what I think," he told the BBC.
Former Prime Minister Khin Nyunt, who was detained in a purge in 2004, has been released from house arrest.
U Khun Tun Oo, the most senior political representative of the Shan, the largest of Burma's ethnic minorities, is also free.
Five of those released were journalists from the exiled broadcaster Democratic Voice of Burma, based in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
One of them, Sithu Zeya, said he was wary of the conditions placed on his release.
The military-backed civilian government came to power in November 2010, after the country's first elections in 20 years. Before that Burma was governed by a military junta.
It has freed Ms Suu Kyi and begun dialogue with her and the NLD. She is now expected to stand for parliament in a by-election in April.

You have no items in your shopping cart.
Yes, it's that purple and very fragrant. A black, velvet purple 2 1/2" rose (petals 25+) with spice clove fragrance, like no other rose on the market. Despite being a shrub, the compact rounded plant will lend itself to smaller spaces and enrich any landscape. Bright green leaves contrast nicely to the mysteriously colored flowers with showy yellow stamens. Big clusters give lots of color on this popular continual blooming shrub.

- Unusually perfectReview by Breenette
- I found these roses to be incredibly beautiful on the website so I had to see for myself - I ordered two of the a couple of years ago. One died - but the other ...oh man...the other was so gorgeous that I am now - a couple of years later - ordering two new ones. They are the most unusually beautiful and striking roses and I just LOVE them! (Posted on 10/11/2014)
- Beautiful PurpleReview by CACheryl
- My first year brought beautiful deep purple velvety blossoms. I have this plant in a pot on my porch. No signs of disease or aphids, seems very healthy. This is an unusual and attractive rose. (Posted on 5/4/2014)
- Many many blooms...Review by Jessica_KY
- I planted my Midnight Blue in the spring of 2012 and it flowered within weeks of planting. The blooms are a dark purple and it just seemed to keep blooming and blooming last year. Beautiful plant. At the end of last year (2013) it was about 3 ft x 2ft. (Posted on 4/11/2014)
- Outstanding little rose!Review by Delphine
- I live in zone 5 Vermont and this rose takes our winters easily. The color is divine and the scent wonderful, also. Great repeat, disease resistance and foliage. I highly recommend this rose as a specimen or to add a dark accent to lighter color roses. (Posted on 2/17/2014)

Anyone With An iPad ? Router Question, Please
Have a new iPad3 and a Cisco/LinkSys Router.
Router Model is an EA3500, and has the extra USB Port.
For anyone having an iPad, and a Router with a USB Port, would like to ask:
If I plug a USB Memory Stick, or an external HD, into this USB Port, how can I
have the iPad access what is on them, and hopefully download some photos, etc., that is on them (to the iPad) ?
If it can't be done, then what is this USB supposed to be used for ?
Much thanks,

Hi Robert, the USB port on the EA3500 certainly is for sharing storage (or printers) across the network so you're absolutely fine there.
I take it you've already tried accessing the flash drive with your iPad but are having problems? Now admittedly I don't have an iPad but after a quick Google it seems that you can use the app 'FileBrowser' to specify remote storage options.
From here, I'll hand over the thread for someone who knows the topic better than I; but in the meantime give the above suggestion a go.

Well, I do have an iPad and my router has USB ports, but honestly, it never occurred to me to access a USB flash drive from the iPad this way ... iOS certainly does not offer a native way to do that, so you need to find an app, perhaps the one oxymoron02 suggested will do it for you.

BMB Munai, Inc. Announces Completion Of Prospective Resources Report
ALMATY, Kazakhstan, July 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BMB Munai, Inc. (NYSE Amex: KAZ) announced that Chapman Petroleum Engineering Ltd. of Alberta, Canada has completed an Evaluation of Prospective Resources ("Resource Report") of the Emir Oil, LLP Northwest Block territory. Resource assignment in the report was based principally on interpretation of recently completed 3D seismic studies in the Northwest Block territory.
The Resource Report, identifies four potential structures on the Northwest Block. Prospective resources of the four structures are estimated at 171 million barrels of oil on an un-risked basis and 51.3 million barrels of oil on a risked basis.
The Northwest Block territory is located to the north and west of the Company's initial exploration territory in the direction of the Caspian Sea. The territory extension was granted in October 2008 by an amendment to the Company's exploration contract. As a result of the territory extension, the exploration territory covered by the exploration contract increased from 460 square kilometers to a total of 850 square kilometers (approximately 210,114 acres).
Commenting on the Resource Report, Gamal Kulumbetov, BMB Munai CEO stated, "Expanding the resource base has always been one of the Company's objectives and being able to accomplish this in such close proximity to our current infrastructure is very beneficial." Mr. Kulumbetov continued by saying, "In addition, the Company will benefit from the reasonable minimum work program commitment that attends the territory extension and the time extension of the contract to January 13, 2013."BMB Munai is an independent oil and gas company engaged in the exploration and test production of crude oil and natural gas in Western Kazakhstan.

Elementary Review: The Ukrainian Angel of Deathby Kate Brooks at . Comments
This episode of Elementary was one of my favorites of the season. The theme for this week's investigation was "The Angel of Death" and he was man who was mercy killing patients that were a sure fit to die a slow and painful death.
Last week, we focused on the growth of Sherlock and here loved the installment because of Watson's growth. We have known that Joan had completely changed her life because she had lost a patient and tonight we saw her in her "old element." It was nice to see Watson as a doctor, wasn't it?
First, let me talk about the case. Since this is the first review I'm doing for this show; I need to tell you that I love Johnny Lee Miller as Sherlock. The way Johnny delivers his lines and the attitude he puts with it is just how Sherlock should be portrayed. "Lesser Evils" proved just that.
I always wait for the last 10 minutes of the episode where we get to sit down and listen to Holmes explain how he figured out the truth and the steps he took to get there. It's so enjoyable as a viewer to watch the culprit realize that he/she has been caught. I will admit that I knew the janitor was going to be the killer or would at least play a major role in the case; they gave him too much to do in the beginning of the episode to be insignificant.
"The Angel of Death" has to be my favorite case they've done yet. I've been waiting for an investigation to put Watson back in the hospital and this was perfect opportunity. The idea of a merciful killer versus the brutal murders of the past made the episode feel a bit lighter. It felt like a nice break, but it had me thinking: where's the twist? When is the twist coming? Then it finally did.
When the janitor confessed to the murders and utterly was convinced he did not kill anyone who wasn't already dying, I knew someone set up a killing. Honestly, I did not think that Dr. Baldwin was going to be the one responsible mainly because he was such a jerk when he was first questioned by Holmes, I figured that he was going to keep living his life being a terrible person. I was pleased to find out it was him indeed.
Then there was the secondary storyline of Joan and her friend Dr. Carrie Dwyer. We met Carrie and she wasn't on the screen for five minutes before Holmes came in and explained their past, which was such a pleasure to see; Sherlock and his all-knowing mind doing his usual over sharing. Anyway, when Carrie let Joan sit in on one of her patients, a young girl with a torn ACL, I was hoping it was going to be where we'd get to see Joan in her natural element - and we sure did.
I adore Joan as a doctor and watching her concern for the patient was wonderful. When Carrie wouldn't listen to her I thought, "she's going to kill this patient because she's too stubborn to listen to Watson." Joan has to be right, she is around Holmes too much to not be. When Carrie came to their door I assumed she lost the patient. Thank goodness I was wrong and Joan was actually correct.
Forging papers so that the patient would get the right test, brilliant Watson! This reveal was one of my favorites in the episode.
Then Carrie said, "you're a great friend Joan, but you're a better doctor." I felt that burn through the TV. The way Watson reacted to her comment affirmed what I have to come to believe: Joan had not fully accepted the fact that she let go of her career as a physician. In the last scene - when she deleted all of the photos from her iPad - it was a metaphor that she was letting go of her past and willing to completely move on.
Does this mean we'll see Joan eventually go back into a medical career? I think not. At least not for awhile. She's good where she's at with Holmes.
Overall, Miller and Lucy Liu make a great Holmes and Watson. The portrayal of these two characters is unique and it's what makes Elementary a must-see show.
I agree that janitor was a giveaway. Recognized him immediately as an actor who usually has big featured parts. They should have used a less familiar face... Have enjoyed other episodes tho.
I love this show, it's a mixture of everything and it so entertaining. Keep up the work.
I am totally loving Elementary -- love Sherlock contemporized, love Johnny Lee Miller's super fast staccato delivery, which evokes the speed w/which his brain works. Was never a big Lucy Liu fan, but she's holding her own in the role.
Janitor was a giveaway. After the janitor's confession, Jerk Doctor's responsibility was also apparent. Good for character development for Watson but her subplot was cliched.
DeAnn said
"I enjoyed Basil Rathbone as Holmes in movies made in the 60s". While she might remember them from TV in the 60's they were actually made from 1939 until sometime in the late 40's. After the first 3 or 4, they reestablished/updated him as being in the 40's during WWII (as opposed to the 1890's).
Anyone else notice the empty coffee cups? So obvious Lol
I've really enjoyed this series so far, probably because I think Johnny Lee Miller is such a wonderful actor, and Lucy Liu is no slouch, either. But then, I enjoyed Basil Rathbone as Holmes in movies made in the 60s, and I loved Jeremy Brett as Holmes in the 80s, and I can't get enough of Benedict Cumberbatch as the millenial Holmes with his hobbit Watson! That is why I think it is so hard for JLM to really distinguish himself as Holmes when there are so many great actors who have portrayed him previously and are still portraying him today, in Britain. We are fortunate to have an American version of Sherlock Holmes, a very OCD kind of guy who would probably get on your nerves if you were to actually meet and talk to him. But I do love how JLM managed to be funny and fascinating with the case in this episode. His calling Joan to the door was like an irritated parent calling their child to the door to see a playmate, "JOANIE!" he bellows! LOL
I really liked this episode better. Miller and Liu were more at ease in their delivery, it didn't feel forced or artificial at any point. I knew that it would be the janitor but the twist about the surgeon putting him up to it and it being proven by a photo of the false evidence planted in the patient's file was very clever. Figuring out a crime is one thing, proving it is quite another.
Over a century of Sherlock Holmes and his descendants solving crimes for us in literature, film and TV make it unlikely most of us won't figure out who the culprit is, the fun is in how the writers have it come out and how well the actors play it out: Elementary is doing an excellent job on these two points.
Can't wait until they have a modern Irene Adler show so I can watch Watson (Lucy) kick her a**.
I enjoyed the way Holmes right off recognized there was murder done and jumped right in. A lot of energy. This is the second episode I've thought was elevating the series. Because I get shows I like on DVD sets and watch them again and again and therefore know who the killer is, I don't grade a show on if I was originally stumped (and in the last one, I didn't know it was the secretary because I thought it was the "name" actor guest starring as an obnoxious CFO). I will be tuning in for the next episode because I enjoy the Holmes-Watson dynamic (and enjoy it more and more over the early episodes)!

Sure, I know about these ... it's just, they don't really do much. E.g. the client_add script has this "$random_rs_id" parameter that gets passed in as a reseller ID; it's somewhat like in
What it doesn't tell me is what I actually need to know: What does that parameter
? How do I obtain it? Do I pass the ID of an existing client that will thereby automatically be promoted to "reseller", namely of this newly created client, or is this some
ID that will become the reseller ID of the new client? What parameters are obligatory anyway? Apparently you can hand create_client() a parameter called "d
fault_mailserver" without causing too much havoc. But then the underlying database is all MYISAM without any referential integrity, so I suppose you can enter quite some bullshit (as long as it passes ISPconfig's validation rules, but I don't think they'll catch nonexistent IDs, do they?) without causing any immediate errors---only later when other scripts expect data to be consistent will your system crash and burn.
I'd just like to understand what I'm doing before I do it to my production system.

Volkswagen has released some details about the next Golf, which will have its official debut in Berlin next month.
The new Golf will be larger than the outgoing model. The overall length will now be 167.5 inches, and it will be 57.2 inches tall and 70.8 inches wide. Volkswagen says the Golf is larger due to increased safety and giving passengers more space.
Despite the added size, Volkwagen cut close to 220 lbs out of the new Golf thanks to high-strength steel, aluminum suspension components, new electronics, and lighter seats.
The Golf will be riding on Volkswagen's new MQB FWD platform, which can be sized to fit subcompact cars to full-size sedans while using the same engine, front axle, and pedal positioning.
When launched in Europe, the Golf will come with a range of gasoline and diesel powertrain options. For the U.S., expect a 1.8L turbo-four and a diesel. A six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch will be your transmission choices.
At the moment, Volkwagen hasn't said when the next Golf will be arriving to the U.S. Sometime next year is a safe bet.

So is it just me or has VW been on a bloat diet with all their cars getting bigger/fatter/heavier? Or is this due to the stupid pedestrian safety requirements of Europe? The socialist drive to get everyone the same on mass transit and make all cars look the same is just stupid.

Hey, let's not forget one very important thing here:
Suicide is Homicide turned inward.
It's very easy to go from being suicidal to being homicidal. Also, it sounds like this person wanted some "help" in ending her life and that's why she pointed her weapon at the Officer. She got what she wanted, "Suicide by Cop" when her initail attempt failed.
I will not put my safety in jeopardy because of a suicidal person. I will ensure that maintain my safety as I COME FIRST! After me comes my co-workers, then society as a whole and lastly the person who instigated this whole thing.
I use this sort of "table" for lack of a better word, because if the people sent to help/solve the situation have to call for help after intervening it will delay getting help to the person that needs it.

Nice to know that other persons in OH go onto such sites as this excellent one.

- 0Jun 21, '04 by travelinrnQuote from WayneRNHello WayneRN, I have been a COHN since 2001. I feel fortunate I came across this discussion board for OHNs. I too do not find many OHNs in the medical community. I am employed by an acute care hospital with an occupational healh department. The hospital has contracts with local businesses to supply an certified OHN - that's me. I work four hours Mon-Fri at a petroleum/chemical processing facility with 75 employees, and am a school nurse (appox 3,000 students) 3 hours each day. When school is out I work in the OH department. I am the only RN. All other staff, except the doc are medical office assistants, even the department cordinator is not a nurse. Quite a challengeHello,
I'm brand new to Occupational Health Nursing. I've been browsing for On-line resources and other OHN's to network with. It doesn't seem like there are very many OHN's that visit these boards. If you're out there, let me know.Last edit by travelinrn on Jun 21, '04
- 0Jun 21, '04 by travelinrnMy ancesters on both sides are English, Irish and Scottish, but I have never visited or lived in any ofthose countries, just lived for a lot of years.
- 0Jul 13, '04 by DavidFRI'm an OH nurse for a large international non-governmental organization which has it's HQ here in Paris. It's my first OH post and having been attracted by the salary (my post is a bi-lingual French/English due to dealing with an international population, so they pay a bonus for my English), I 've found I really enjoy it. It's different from anything I did in my home country (the UK) where I was a clinical nurse specialist in viral hepatitis, and before that in various inpatient specialities (principally infectious diseases and gastroenterology).
I was pleasantly surprised at how varied the job is.
The stringent employment laws in France mean we do a lot for people on being hired and see them every 2 years to re-evaluate their aptitude. Alot of of our people go off to tropical countries on mission, so we fulfil their vaccination/travel medicine needs too. We deal with all the work accidents, work-related illnesses, non-actives etc. We're responsible for the ergonomics - a field totally new to me. People who work here also have to right to come to us with their outside prescriptions, so there is a constant stream of blood tests, injections, ECG's, dressings etc. The organisation hires out our services to other organisations, several banks etc. so I'd say we serve a good 4000 people overall. We offer well woman/well man screening and always have some health promotion campaign on the go like breast cancer awareness or stopping smoking. We have a little emergency room and people do tend to come down to us first before they contact medical help outside, so we do see a range of casualties from minor injuries to (thankfully not too frequent) real emergencies.
I work with one other nurse. Between us we cover the service Monday-Friday from 9 - 6. In the mornings we're on our own and every afternoon one of two OH doctors comes to do medical consultations. We have no secretarial help, so things like records and appointments are also our responsibility.
I think OH is very varied and calls on your wits more than many people realise. You're often on your own making decisions without a doctor, and the decision rests on your head whether to send somebody away or refer them on to an outside doctor, call on the emergency services etc.
- 0Jul 19, '04 by squeekyou are all very lucky to have your positions.
I am an OR nurse with a permanent back injury ... only mild (discectomy), I can still walk :hatparty:
I have been looking for a new field of practice with minimal physical exertion ... and have chosen OH&S ... hopefully this is a good idea. I have a lot of personal insight hehe.
my problem is finding a position !! I am halfway through an external uni certificate in Occ health ... but am not sure where to go now??? any suggestions appreciated??
cheers Squeek
- 0Jul 19, '04 by chrisrobhi squeek, i'm pretty much the same with a back injury that was just getting worse and worse, where i live theres a couple of ways to get into occ health, while i was doing occ health qualifications i signed up with an agency that had some occ health contracts, and got work that way, you also meet the occ health nurse click that way and they let you know what jobs are going, also there are occ health post that will take you when you are studying they take you as treatment nurses, health screening etc, plus occ health journel that has jobs, think your best bet is agency if you can get it, hope this helps difficult though when its different countries. Good luck
