  5. Stop! I don't want someone like you touching me!

    Haha! I already appreciate it! I love it everytime I get carded at the liquor store (and my friends don't). My mom got carded (seriously, not as part of we id under 99) until she was 39...I'm hoping to beat her!

  10. Your Dream Emergency Department...

    Private rooms for everyone. I wish I didn't have to see an elderly person dying (literally waiting for next of kin...) sharing a room with a drunk college student. Oh, and no more need for hallway beds - I was a pt in one once...which was great be...

    While I'm not a Nursing Educator (yet), I am an EMT-instructor, so I thought I would throw my 2 cents in. The idea of the drill sargent instructor being the best instructor is still rampant in EMS - however, I don't find that that approach works. I ...
