You receive a white board and marker at the testing site. As soon as you're allowed, use the white board to write down anything you might struggle to recall during the test. Medications, dosages, assessments, mnemonics, math. Then, you'll have that to use during the test.

What is the exam on? What is the format? How have you studied in the past? I've taught for 20 years, here are some general tips I tell every student: Studying Studying should be an active process. Categorize and re-write your notes, make flashcards, create a Kahoot, create a Quizlet, etc...

The O light looks slick and has great Amazon reviews. Cool find!

I'm in. I'm amazed to see how much drones have evolved in just the past couple of years due to the war in Ukraine.

You're a good guy. Multitool? Steel mug/water bottle? Rechargeable headlamp? All weather notebook with some nice pens? Mobile power banks?

When a patient with a King airway regains consciousness, you should remove the device. It is designed for unresponsive patients without a gag reflex. If the patient becomes conscious, the airway can create an airway obstruction. Removing the airway helps prevent these issues and allows the...
