this has nothing to do with them guessing about the strain and in the end, educated or not, it is still a guess and you may or may not actually be protected. that depends on what strain of flu...

Sorry about that, don't know what I did wrong; thanks for pointing it out though. :-) Maybe using "A" or "B" was wrong, I wasn't meaning the types, just illustrating the differences... Problem...

Even so, it doesn't mean they're going to get it right. It's still just a guess. You have a high chance of them not getting it right. "While there are many different flu viruses, the flu vaccine...

I've heard conflicting reports on whether or not it actually protects other's from getting the flu, but even if it did the flu shot is a guessing game based on last year's strain! So I don't see the...

I'm not a nurse, but one did show me the rewards of nursing by revealing his payments received throughout the previous year. He made a little over 100K that year and he told me that the way he did it...

I don't see it as being a problem. Like you said, as long as you follow infection control precautions there shouldn't be any problems. Do you bring your own stethescope? Would your hospital consider...

I don't think we really have that problem where I work. Our nursing staff will very quickly correct them with a, "You meant tech right?" or similar, but I've never heard any of the tech's calling...

That's an excellent idea. I'm wondering if I could make a smaller version, almost like a Hipster PDA? How large is yours and would you be able to post a picture? Just curious to see your set up now....

I am a tech also with my EMT-I and I think the best "training" I've received is by asking a good nurse or two if I could help them with procedures or let me do them with their guidance. You'll very...
