Are they SSM?

Professional does not equal doctoral entry. Dept of Ed does not consider PT to be professional and it requires a doctorate... now... Did Pharmacists and Psychologists only become professionals recently? These didn't used to require doctorates an there are many practicing psychologists...

This is how you get a nursing shortage that will be solved by importing more H1B visa nurses.

Chiropractors and Theology degrees are professional but nursing is not? Despite the DNP, DNAP and PhD tracks? That's ****ing ********. Pharmacy used to be bachelors, then masters, only becoming PharmD in 2000. Clinical Psychology does not necessarily require a PsyD to practice. You can...

I get my orders on a recorded line. Didn't call in on that line? Doc-y no talk-y. Call back on the right number.

2 years ago the standards were totally different? C'mon... this forum is on life support so necroposting is part of the new norm. And you can do the same to some random paramedic. And the reasoning is not what you say, that is not because the medic or RN is necessarily the more appropriate...

It's pretty amazing what air crash investigators can determine from pulverized burned debris. They can tell whether an indicator light was on or off. They can tell whether some types of fire damage occurred before or after the crash.

My theory is cockpit fire. It is not likely statistically nor is there evidence for it yet, but it would explain what happened.

The Bible is a guide of the soul, not our source for understanding the science of physical healthcare. You could help yourself by really working on your basic education in biology and healthcare here. If you don't open your mind to education on healthcare, you would be a dangerous provider...

RQI is fine for BLS, but it sucks vs a good ACLS/PALS class

Where I see FDs hiring single roles, the medics are paid a lot less than the FFs and often with less benefits and few promotional opportunities because it is still all about false fire alarms, hose pulling, fill the boot, and kittens in trees. Hire the single roles so that the real FFs don't...

Nobody said they were a single issue voter on this. It was an interesting question. For example, if a given candidate had previously pushed for mass imported foreign RN/APRN labor as a legislator, that might be a big deal to a RN/APRN considering whether to vote for them as an executive. (For...

Yea I'd talk to the interior companies because at least you need to know the material composition you are trying to clean, then you can consult general charts for chemical compatibility, then a disinfectant vendor will have material specific charts for a given product. Examples...

Generally you are looking at disinfectants that include hypochlorite (bleach), isopropyl alcohol, QACs (quaternary ammonia), and hydrogen peroxide. Different ones are going to require longer wet times than others, be effective against various pathogens (or not), and have different effects on...

5 minutes of googling revealed: I found nothing for Harris, Trump, or Vance related to EMS. Walz was the chair of the Congressional EMS Caucus. Here is a NAEMT doc showing his work to recruit other members. As governor Walz signed a $30M bill for MN rural EMS including $6M to support some...
