    Fire Academy for existing Medics

    It’s mostly big cities that’ll do this as they have their own academy or enough money to pay for the state program. That said, the wait for those jobs can be a long road. If you’re serious about this path, your best bet is to bite the bullet and put yourself through an academy. If you do...

    Nursing is no longer considered a professional degree

    If we really want to rage about anything, it should be the unchecked exponential increases in college tuition over the last 30 years coupled with the immense pressure put on high school students to attend college after graduation. It's a f*cking racket and no one wants to touch it.

    Nursing is no longer considered a professional degree

    Lord not again. Take a breath, this whole thing has become rage bait 1. No one is saying nurses aren't professionals, this whole idea was poorly inferred and has been pushed aggressively by the ANA because they want to stay relevant. 2. This only relates to the amount of money you can obtain...

    Hospital discharges woman who gave birth in car minutes later

    I'll walk back on some of my statements once I thought through them a bit more. Nurses can't discharge so I'm certain a provider was involved at some point.

    Hospital discharges woman who gave birth in car minutes later

    This is not really an EMTALA violation, and her demand that all patients in labor be allowed to see a provider is never going to happen - I had no idea how autonomous L&D nurses were until my L&D clinical rotation. Who's to say how far she was really dilated but if she legitimately didn't meet...

    Portable suction unit.

    I've used both of these https://www.boundtree.com/suction/suction-units/s-scort-vx2-custom-w-variable-regulator-and-gauge/p/2221-10082?srsltid=AfmBOor7cGax5IfAGBw6EYIIQksLZZyFYzvf81-aGaVCe8sHn-RKqBa87Js and...

    FP-C and CCP-C

    A minimum of 3 years of clinical practice is the bare bones. I vaguely remember being a medic at 3 years at a busy dept, regarded as one of the stronger medics, and thinking I was hot sh*t. For a long time, every year I'd look back at who I was the previous year and think "wow that guy was...

    Stop injecting facts, that's counterproductive to the narrative.
