That's how we did it last semester (my arm hurt after 30 blood pressures). We decided to mix things up on the students and have them tested out on patients with irregular pulses, pupils not reactive or equal, etc.

We just make them do it on one another is pairs while we listen in. I really wish we had a holodeck like in Star Trek...

Never watched Star Trek... :blink:
 
Sure, I'd love to help grandma, as soon as the whole family gets out of the way.
 
I had a great day showing off Sussex County EMS to one of our forum members here. I won't mention his name, because I don't know if he wants his job search to be public…

But it was a good day, ran some interesting calls, got to show off our really cool equipment… I think we may have a new employee soon.
 
Dear EMS crews responding to frequent flyer in my neighborhood:

You have taken this chick to the hospital 4 times this week for a headache. Why are two ambulances responding in a residential area with lights and sirens at bedtime? There are NO cars on the street. There are NO controlled intersections on this street. Please stop with the air horns already.

Sincerely,

Mother of sleeping children.

Maybe they're members on here and you could give them an infraction :p
 
My first day off in weeks and I spend it curled into the fetal position w/ horrible RUQ pain. God this gallbladder needs to come out.
But on the bright side, I'm now ahead for my CCP class :)
 
I'm making spaghetti sauce, and I just discovered that my favorite wooden spoon is developing a crack in the handle.:sad:
 
Has anyone ever watched The Incredible Dr. Pol on NatGeo Wild? It's about this vet, his family, and their clinic. It's actually a pretty cool show, from what I have seen. Today was the first time I have ever watched it.

What I really don't understand is how I can walk into some of the scenes I show up at while at work, see some of the things that people do to each other or themselves, whether it be something unintentional or intentional, and none of it really bothers me. However, watching this guy remove a fatty tumor from a dog, and seeing the tumor afterwards, totally grossed me out. I just don't get it!!

I totally feel for you! I can't even begin to tell you how much better I felt after getting mine taken out.

On the bright side I had some PO Toradol left from the last time... it helped enough so I could go to sleep. I'm saving PTO to go to my skills lab/clinical portion of my crit care class... I'm hoping to get it out next year

Pampered chef bamboo spoons. Never split again. I have no idea how this happens, but it's for real.

I'll have to look into that next time I know someone who's throwing a Pampered Chef party.

I just don't know why I get attached to certain tools. Some things break and I just toss them out (if they can't be repaired). I don't know what made that spoon 'special' out of the collection, other than the length of the handle.
