GRETA
as an OHNA (without qualification as yeT), I would value any site. I can see where you are coming from, but let's share any knowledge and experience,whether in the field of OH or general surgical/medical. every litle bit helps!!!

Although of course I understand your personal circumstances. However, I
would still value what other OH practitioners think of the internet site -
especially as both the RCN and the NMC require both practice and
qualifications in OH. In OH journal I recommend internet resources to
readers every month and check these regularly. I also make comments on the
validity of these sites - not only from my own view point but from other
qualified OH practitioners. I am making no comment about the quality of your
site, but asking other practitioners what they think and feel about a site
entitled 'ohnurse.co.uk' which is not run or maintained, nor has any input
from a qualified practitioner in the field. Its a bit like me - as a
qualified teacher and previous senior university lecturer setting up a site
for them - I am not sure I would have much credibility!
What do my colleagues out there think?
