I would like to start a professional publications club. We could either band together and vote on a few journals to subscribe to, or we could each personally subscribe and share the bounty. Maybe this would have to be a password protected forum??? I'm not trying to be inappropriate so...

Sorry this may be reposted, because i hit send, but the I couldn't find my thread. So I am doing my RSI homework and reading drug profiles. Concerning paralytics, what do you consider prior to choosing your paralytic. Do you have more than one option? Is it only a depolarizing or...

Could someone discuss what it REALLY means? In Texas, if you have an associates or higher in EMS, or a "related field," you are eligible to apply for the "Licensed Paramedic" patch. This patch has a gold border and for all I have found, only indicates that you pay a higher registration...

Rather than challenge the P card, I have elected to complete my certification online. I am going through Percom. Pretty much, will be watch their lectures, read my book and teach myself. Coming back full circle, this is how I earned my Basic, as well as Intermediate education. I guess...

Anyone going? MedicRob is lame and will be out of town, so there goes my crash at your place idea... I'm most interested in sunday's Critical Care Procedural Anatomy program. just trying to justify the $1000+ that it will cost for course registration / lodging / travel etc.

So i've come to that place in the road. My fondest dream fantasy is to be a Flight Nurse. I want to do HEMS, scene flights and critical care transport. I'd even consider fixed wing CCT. Recently, I've been lured to the dark side of advanced practice nursing. Namely, CRNA. I would...

I was under the impression that evidence supported the theory that rtb "tricks the baro-receptors into thinking that the body is not hypotensive" :. Taking away much needed compensation. Can someone please link to literature?

Down and dirty update in Jimi. Started new ICU job, cool, fit right in, being out of critical care for a year has humbled me, but I still feel sharp. IABP class on Tuesday. Divorce will be final on Nov 29. I let her keep the dogs. Cardiology class starts in January. A secondary...
