    Good info, I work in an ER where we had a patient with 20% degree 2nd & 3rd degree burns come in. We tried to do a basic dressing to last long enough for the patient to be transferred to the burn center. Turns out that we do not stock any sort of...

  3. FOR COT CLASS 10-03 - last minute unsolicited advice

    I have no military experience whatsoever, but I did take the advise of a friend who was a Marine and went through EMT school with me. He told me the following regarding lectures in the military (or at least the marines): If you fall asleep during lec...
  4. A nurse by any other name...

    Male nurse here, and I have no problems with the title. I work in the ER so I am usually one of the first people in the room after a patient arrives, they usually start off by saying "Hello doc..." and I don't hesitate at all to correct them and say ...
  5. Strange job interview...thoughts on this?

    I think that more managers realize that we are shopping for a job, just as much as they are shopping for an employee. They realize that we have more options as far as positions go. It sounds like you might have already sold yourself to the employee, ...

  7. Swine flu raises fear of pandemic - Adults and Children

    So now we have a decent cluster in Mexico City, (plus I would only guess how many unreported cases in rural Mexico), 4 US states, Canada, and now a potential outbreak halfway around the globe in New Zealand. Is the WHO just being trigger shy and is t...
  8. My Malpractice Quandry - please help!

    You have to look at the fine print for both coverage, without seeing the exact terms I would guess the reason for the difference is the following: There are two main types of Malpractice Insurance, I don't know the exact terms for both, but I will tr...

  10. Held Down and Forced to Take The FLu Shot

    Sorry for the long delay, it's been a buzy week. So here is the update for now: The two people who were forced to take their show on friday refuse to go ahead with charges. They said the shot has happened, and it is over with now. They are worried ab...

    Thanks for everybodies support. I am working tonight and tommorow, and I am going to spend the rest of the weekend documenting everything on paper, getting names of everyone involved (including witnesses), and getting everything ready to contact the ...
  12. Held Down and Forced to Take The FLu Shot

    The only problem for me is this: The question I just asked you is not a hypothetical for me. It happened to a lot of people at her job, and I am fighting it. I figure there will be a healthy amount of backlash from this, so I am just looking for str...
  13. Held Down and Forced to Take The FLu Shot

    If your mother is alert and oriented x4, able to make informed decisions, and in a hospital, what would you do if the staff holds her down to give her a shot of ANYTHING she refused?
  14. Held Down and Forced to Take The FLu Shot

    Interesting find: According to the CDC Vaccine Adverse Effects Reporting System there have been 417 deaths after taking a flu shot. Thats all I need to know. As far as I am concerned they can face charges of Assault and Battery with a Deadly Weapon.
