My perspective on handling money/adulting: When it comes to the budget, or the plan, have it rule your life. Hard math defines 99% of my year ever since taking over the family finances. Figure out some spreadsheet software (Google Sheets or Excel or whatever), make your master plan, keep it in...

Later in the class, have the students google a handful (less than 10) of very commonly prescribed medications (metoprolol, metformin, lasix, and the like) and figure out what types of patients will likely be using them. Later introduce practical scenarios that are obviously one category of...

Maybe there should be a one-off TV show about your department called "Vacation Station". Your area sounds weird enough to warrant that.

That was me being more surprised than confused. A SNF or rehab facility being ready like that has never happened for me.

My narrative often ends up repeating some information from previous forms filled in the chart. I generally end up either matching or expounding upon the past info and then catch any discrepancies with a double/triple check when finishing. So far, there have been no issues raised by any...

Just for the tuition and BAH, have you estimated the monetary value of what you got out of the GI bill's education benefits?

Be honest with yourself if you think this is a problem, and approach management/training before they come to you (piggybacking off of what DesertMedic said). When it comes to driving, assume everyone is trying to kill you and your patient, just drive normally.

I went from a leather belt to a simple nylon/plastic belt: https://bisondesigns.com/products/30mm-t-lock%E2%84%A2-black-buckle

If the money itself is an issue, then a designated food account/card or receipt compensation will accomplish the same thing. This expense can also be tracked more easily and spreads the cost more equitably across the community, versus having a few businesses comp meals.

"Based on the post hoc evaluation of triage status, adherence to the triage protocol was 74%. Analysis of patient destinations for protocol non-adherence appears to indicate that paramedic interpretation and discretion played a role in determining hospital choice. There was a marginal time...

Good to see you again. Apart from the givens regarding immediate life concerns and pain management, in my area folks are being told to estimate the burned area using the palm or the rule of nines, then proceed with the Parkland formula for fluid resuscitation. The burned area may be covered with...

As of late I've been trying to reduce spending on take-out. So the idea is to basically try to make they stuff they serve, or something close enough. Here's some chicken thigh, buttered basmati rice, lettuce, and raita sauce. All of this is from Costco or Aldi. The chicken is cooked in the oven...
