Sort of a little known fact about the NICU and Neo-Nates.... Until the last 20-30 ish years they were kept confined and never touched. I cant remember exactly the woman's name nor do I recall the city in which this occurred but this story came up quite a few times in some of my pre-nursing...

That is a great quote, thanks for that

I sort of feel like if it can be done without compromising medical attentiveness or treatment that the emotional well being is, to a certain extent, part of what we try to help. There does not seem to be anything neglected so it doesn't seem as though its bad to help the patient to be a little...

We have 10 staff members, each are first aid and cpr certified... i'm just an over achiever I guess

Thats great, thank you... I absolutely agree!

Thank you, jgmedic

obviously I would not go beyond my scope of practice, likely not even beyond basic first aide/cpr practice... I guess its a matter of being trained to do things more efficiently or effectively... my main concern with all of this was the possibility of losing all progress of what i've...

...quite a predicament.... I do believe i'll just casually bring it up in conversation with the Aquatics director this week. Its worth her being aware of the concerns just in case she needs to back me in any way. Thanks!

Thats great advice, thank you. Its what I was mainly thinking but there's always that grain of doubt that once its planted in your mind I just harp on possibilities. I may not have made this clear earlier, but I was not referring to water rescue. Our pool is within a large public park and...

This may be a silly question but its somewhat haunting my mind so worth voicing/getting advice about. I work for Parks and Rec, with children. Each of us, as employees through the city, are required by state to be first aid/cpr certified (a little redundant because I am an EMT-B as it is)...

I'm in California... I passed the national Registry and it showed online my completion within 24 hours but it took 8 days for my certificate of recognition and my card with my new EMT-B number on it. But it takes a lot more for it to be recognized (as I am living right now).... not sure if its...

Can I just go in and request the background and state why? My previous backgrounds my places of employment had a paper for me to bring in with the information and what not.

"what you can get out of the way now i believe is your live scan doj/fbi background check" Where do I go about getting my background stuff started? And does it matter if i'm already in the livescan system because i've already got a state job/work with children?

What exactly needs to be brought with you to apply for your license at the EMSA office? I think I may be getting a little ahead of myself... I only passed my NREMT yesterday so i'm assuming I cannot proceed further until I receive my certificate? Im only guessing this because DMV requires the...
