   Crimsonking replied to Dakeirus's topic in General Students

   I'm going to have to disagree with this statement. I'm sorry to hear about your accident. Anytime you break skin, with anything, you are opening the door for a number of opportunistic pathogens. A good friend of mine got MRSA from a Flu vaccine. Albe...

   Crimsonking replied to i'msotired's topic in General Students

   I think it's ironic that we're talking about using therapeutic conversation on a message board while giving advice. I thought this would be considered a therapeutic block (approving, disapproving) . We use thapeutic techniques to help promote wellnes...

   Crimsonking replied to i'msotired's topic in General Students

   My quick response would be: It's an interesting comparison, however, if you screw up, someone looses a pet. If I screw up, someone looses a father, mother, wife, husband, son, daughter, cousin, friend, lover, hero and mentor. Then I would question he...

   Hi Calisand, Did you have to take any special courses in order to get that ICU job, right out of college? I really am interested in working either ICU or Truama. I'm not really interested in working Med/Surg. Any advice? Thank you!

    Well, here's week 2 of our odysee. :smilecoffeeIlovecofI'm so sleep deprived. I certainly see why they say we shouldn't work more than 20 hrs a week if we can help it. I work 24 and I have just enough time to do the assignments. I know a couple of pe...

12. How do you know if it's the right profession?

    Crimsonking replied to SPCStudent's topic in General Students

    I don't know about others and how they knew it was the right profession, but for me it was more of an epiphany (I hate spelling that word). I compare this question to "How did you know you wanted to get married?" My answer these questions are the s...

    Crimsonking replied to aronld1's topic in General Students

    How about Community Aquired MRSA? As nearly 80% of all skin infections presented in the ER are MRSA, I think this is one of the least known inflictions to the general public. Good luck on your presentation!
