Okay, generally, Esme and I are on the same page, but I would like to (perhaps) expand on what I read. Yes, patient ratios are "recommended" by Jack-O, Nerds In Hiding, and Morbidity and...

An astounding boom of silence... Oral meds should be providing a baseline BS, in conjunction with a regular eating schedule. So, your patient should have his meds- and a "snack" pretty much...

What astounds me is the screaming impetus for treating the "diabetic epidemic", but an utter lack of use, and training on, the insulin pump. There is no reason that an inpatient could not have...

Ha! Sent you a PM. If you're in OKC, I may have a lead. No, you don't need a BSN, and its a good field.:D

Could be any of the above. Nursing school doesn't "waste time" on such "mundane" skills as venipuncture.:icon_roll A tourniquet should lightly compress the skin, and never requires the...

Sliding scales are less than useless. If you are using Regular insulin (which I assume to be the case), the 0600 FS will give you a baseline for correction at mealtime, but is meaningless w/o a meal...

A legal document, for administrative filing(i.e., "event" reporting, audit trace, shift discrepancies, etc..), would allow use of otherwise "controlled" information, just as a Police report would. ...

Hurst reviews practicals, Kaplan is, "the thinking". Honestly, what helped me most was looking at each question, and prioritizing the answers according Maslow.

Lots of variables there, tho' on the surface, you are correct. However, if there is a femoral, no, it won't be changed readily, and one hopes there was a good reason for placing it (i.e.,...

If you are able to verbalize what constitutes assault, vs. battery, and how the two progress, and if the patient is lucid, just call the Police. I have no idea what the situation was, obviously,...

Yeah. In cases of diminished capacity, the healthcare proxy (in out-patient settings) or the CMO (Chief Medical Officer) bear responsibility for the actions of the individuals. Document...

Do you have any friends/family in the Oklahoma City area? I know of a job that is opening within the next few days that I believe would suit your needs. A temporary OK endorsement (90 days) is $10....

As above, and I would look at the U of Fl at Jacksonville(assuming you're still there);) first. Different places have different requirements, so you may also look at "Research Assistant", as well.

Remember- the first debater to refer to the other as "Nazi" loses.;) With the understanding that both the National Socialist German Workers' Party and the Proletarian Revolutionaries had the penchant...

I believe we are in agreement, barring slight semantic differences- choosing not to be insured, without advanced personal financial planning, is gaming the system, just a slightly different track.;) ...

a) This was what charity/community hospitals did, before there were requirement to accept 3rd party payors or all "indigent" emergents. Again, no huge mystery, its a very clear historical record....

1) I am no Libertarian. 2) Rationality requires judgement; it is not terribly difficult. 3) "Vulgar"- per Merriam-Webster: In context, if one is not currently, [I]or has not previously,...

Listing your earlier work history, with your most recent experience as, "childcare provider" is neither inappropriate, nor untrue.;)

I've lived with that reality. One makes choices based on need, not, "desire". What we are currently financing is not healthcare, but continued self-destructive ideation. Slap a 150% "sin-tax" on...

**** If (assuming by your user-name) you are male- get out of there as fast as you can. In either case, your employer has voyeuristic/sexual predator characteristics. Period. End of discussion. ...

Courtesy dictates the following: Introduce yourself(name, title, location) Whom you are trying to contact A one-sentence summary of your need (i.e. "I have a question regarding a patient...") ...

The "Healthcare Lobby", specifically HCA Corporation, is why we have HIPAA. Yes, there is power there. However, IIRC, the AMA is second only to the TLA (Trail Lawyers Assn.) in raw available...

Knowing where you are, I would probably recommend Quintiles, unless you really cross-examine the research interviewer at the University.;) Buuuut, I have not worked for pharma directly... Apply...

I'm not sure if Mayo has a "primary" population, or not, but: Stroke (swallow/fall/movement precautions, assistance with toileting, repositioning, feeding) Epilepsy (fall precautions, keep...

If someone could identify a point of "Accountability", I might be bothered. It has made nothing "Portable", nor is there, "Accountability". Call it Viagra For Corporate Healthcare Attorneys, and...
