Without overtime or taking extra shifts I work 36 hours a week. Three 12 hour shifts a week.

Rambling thoughts should have tons of test questions.

Thanks for the replies. It makes sense, I should have figured that out myself. I learned something and am sure others have as well.

Is it a contraindication to give a person that had dialysis recently fluids? For example we had someone who had high blood sugar. His lungs were clear and we figured we give him some fluids for his hyperglycemia. At the hospital once they learned that he had dialysis earlier in the day they told...

Just deal with it. I take everything pretty good unless it takes me totally by surprise. We picked up a guy and he was covered in feces. Normally this doesn't bother me..but when we put him on the bed I guess the scent hit me in the face so strongly that I literally started gagging. That's a...
