    Those Kind of Tears That Make Your Throat Burn

    How quickly we must "recover" from what has to be a gut-wrenching event like you had.... We must remember to allow ourselves a "moment" to re-charge. I've worked ICU for a few years, and many times, it is like this. I'm sure you wanted to ask, "Are y...

    BLS instructor

    I am a Nurse Educator as well as a BLS Instructor. I think that the two go well together. In fact, quite a few of the Nurse Educator positions advertised ask for "BLS Instructor" as well as other American Heart Association credentials. I just recent...
