Around here 2020 is the date for all RN's to be BSN. At least in major hospitals.

Here's some links to the TEMS class I attended in July. I thought some might like to see them. The CO shooting happened on day 2 of class, which made us all even more aware of the need for this type of training: Channel 6...

In Mexico, the red cross runs most of the ems systems, and it doesn't pay much. If you're doing it for the experience and can do without a living wage for some time, it would be a great experience. I volunteered to run in Juarez, but they couldn't even offer me a place to stay, so I passed...

How much is shipping to 53562 and do I have a choice as to what style? I need 31's.

Those guys weren't medics, I watched the segment in spanish TV. Public safety staff if I remember correctly.

So where does a Paramedic/RN fit in that continuum?

Falls are a big deal in nursing homes. During CNA class, they make it sound like having someone fall is a sure career ender, hence the eagerness to whip out the old transfer belt each and every single time. Also, these people (lame as they might be in some cases) are transferring patients a...

Neither my IFT nor my volley service do routinely. Since I carry quite the lot of valuables in my backpack, it sure as heck gets locked when I work.

Also, how do you start an IV on a 96 yo Pt. with severe dementia, fragile veins, shaky arms and who appears to be flirting with you all at the same time?

Why not just add a spell funkshun to the sight?

Afraid this trend is only going to get worse with the first major wave of baby boomers hitting retirement age and a projected 50 (55?) million seniors in the country by 2020. Surely, there is a need for this, but it shouldn't come at the expense of caring for others.

Congrats and good luck with the interview. Just curious, are they planning on training you on IV's or what's the scoop there?

for the cable tv back at the station, duh...

Hola! How's business?

Also keep in mind that the crack in the headlight might let moisture in in the long run, causing it to fog up. Don't know what you drive, but that would run me $600 at the least at a shop...(not that I would go that route).
