I get friends/family calling all the time to see what I would do for an ear ache...etc. If they don't like my answer they ask me to hand the phone to my wife who is a nurse.

You should be getting it any day. They have been a little backed up but the longest I have heard of anyone waiting after all of their stuff was submitted was 3 weeks.

What level are you applying for?

Awesome song. Can't wait till I can buy it

Sure the only 2 times I've opened my field guide was for the Spanish translations.

The pt still appears to be fine. I would start a saline lock and monitor for changes. If the pt is volume depleted it isn't bad enough to need aggressive therapy at this point.

I got a 52

Pocket knife and chapstick

Staying Alive or Another One Bites the Dust. :)

Don't you just love running calls to nursing homes. I just had a call for cardiac arrest CPR in progress. Upon arrival nurse states pt is a full code and that the pt has been down no longer than 5 minutes. Get the line and airway established, first round of drugs. Pt is in PEA with a pacemaker...

Whose? Are we talking about an agitated pt or my agitation from dealing with said pt? Lol

My partner for the last 3 yrs has been male. I usually prefer a female partner. I look at primarily from a pt care stand point. I think it is beneficial to have coed crews because you never know who your pt will or will not talk too.
