  1. Taxi vs. 911

    I absolutely agree that there are plenty of people in EMS who are in it for nothing else than the glory, however the majority that I have worked with have had the patients best interest as primary goal. Splint a digit at the scene of a bad trauma? Yo...
  2. Taxi vs. 911

    Protocols are not designed to replace common sense. They are standing orders that normally a doc would have to give directly. They save time by not having to report signs and symptoms and then wait for a docs reply. If nothing else, they encourage au...
  3. Charting Bloopers

    Once, I saw a resident had written 'p.b.b.b.s' in his progress note (pine-box-by-bedside!!!) I assumed he meant he didn't expect the guy to live much longer.

    ""I recently saw a "add 20 mEq Kay Ciel to existing IVF" order also. Maybe these docs were trained at the same place." Almost have to feel some compassion for these poor docs. Anymore they have to spell everything out! They got away with IVF? :chuckl...

  9. Applying for jobs between states

    HI, I just moved from Ohio to Michigan. I applied for a job about 6 weeks before I moved and was not only called almost daily by the nurse recruiters, but I got a relocation bonus when we finally moved. They were very helpful, not only in finding a j...
  10. Scariest things you've seen

    But, let me guess, you came out of nursing school perfect and knowing everything already!!???... Not even a year of med/surg will teach you ANYTHING about L & D.
  11. Babies uneccessary death!!

    Obviously, you don't have any children, or only one? When kids are that age you CANNOT keep a constant eye on them even though you may try your DAMNDEST to do so!!! Try a home with 4 small children. For the record, accidents happen.
  12. The fingernail police!!

    If research shows that fake nails are implicated in spreading deadly infections to our patients, why would anyone who has taken Flo's hippocratic oath of safety choose to wear them? If you are spreading the infections to your patients, what makes you...
