Anyone have any suggestions on websites to find contraindications, indications, dose ages and how EMT basic meds are supplied? Would help a lot, thanks.

I would imagine your book has said information. A quick search did turn this up, which looks like it should have what you're looking for. Use it to make drug cards, that way you can have it with you- that, and writing the information on the cards should help it to stick even more.

**** being a nurse. Pathophys can kiss my ***.

That is all.

Yeah, it can also do a bit of ***-kicking too. Careful... it's very sneaky...

Book plus our state drug guidelines... and a medic boyfriend who can confuse her

Epocrates has an option to show you ways the drugs are supplied. Our state guidelines also have everything but the supplied listed.

Gimme a minute and I will tell you.

Edit: Disregard....I'm not using 4.7gb of my space for an update to an iOS I already like.

My phone crashed the first attempt so now its time to restore the backed up file and try again

Handsome Robb · Sep 18, 2014

Sounds like garbage then. What did they say was included in it? For that much space it better be amazing haha

DesertMedic66 · Sep 18, 2014

They listed a bunch of things. The keyboard now has predicative text. You have the ability to use third party keyboard applications.

So far it doesn't seem bad. The only down side is that I went from having only 809MB left of free space to now having 3GB. So I need to figure out what was deleted

How does that work? It's like a 5 gig update...

It's a 5g update but ios7 is removed afterwards, giving you more room.

I like it so far. I downloaded the swipe keyboard. Siri uses shazaam and can tell you what song is playing. They switched search to Bing which I'm not crazy about.

If you are waiting for an important email you can have it alert you when it arrives.

Double clicking the home button brings up all the people you call and text most. Making it easier to send them a text.

Confirming what Anjel noted, I actually gained a small bit of storage once the update was done. As far as the search engine issue goes, assuming she's referring to Safari, it did not change on my phone - google is still the default search engine. Also note that you can switch it to whatever search engine you prefer using Settings -->Safari -->Search Engine. If she's not referring to Safari, then she knows far more about the functions and capabilities of the iPhone than I

Those things aside, it's too soon to say whether I find it to be an improvement on my iPhone5

I always get a chuckle out of the seemingly perpetual jabbing between supporters of the various phones/operating systems (not to mention the commercials manufacturers use to fuel said jabbing - they're usually pretty humorous).

My POV has always been "You're happy with your phone choice? Super. So am I."

Had to read an incredibly detailed account of this bloke's testicle pain and problems with his penis and then talk to him about it.

Oh yes, you can be sure it was exactly what I wanted to do and it was not awkward in any way, shape or form whatsoever.

I am also uncertain but perhaps cows can fly?

And I'm just chilling here with my windows phone 8.1 with cortana.

Lol I've had android for years, punctuated by using an iPhone 5 for about a year before I went back to the galaxy s4. I like them both but It's fun to poke fun at both owner subgroups too
