I'm sorry, but that's just too funny to not say something! :roflmao:

What a bummer way to start your career! So, sit down and have a good cry. In fact, cry for a day or two (I'm a cryer). Then, take a deep breath and say, "This is just a JOB! J O B JOB!" Yes, you...

I think they want to know if you can trouble shoot your defibrillator. If you've never used one, this can be a difficult question to answer. Here is what I would say. Assuming your pt needs a...

It sounds like this is a moot point, but I will throw in my two cents worth anyway. I have had several occasions where I have been interviewed by risk management, the NSA and even the FBI because of...

For a new employee in general, the cost is around $20,000. For new grads, that number might be more, because you are investing in more classes and more time like 6 months or so, as opposed to about...

Hate to break it to you, but "free" clinics still get subsidized by the government, and that's how the staff in those clinics get paid. Very few clinicians can afford to work for free, even if they...

Honestly, I don't know. Possibly in clinics. MDs in clinics have reams of paperwork that they do every day just to deal with insurance issues. One thing that has started changing in med schools is...

Paying doctors the same amount doesn't help, it hurts. Doctors will leave practice, and people will become generalists instead of specialists, which hurts all of us. Tell me, when you have chest...

THAT is what "assistance" is for - to assist you to get off of welfare. Most people who go to college receive some form of assistance. The difference is, we are required to pay it back. I also...

I'm sorry, what are all of these "polls" you are referring to where American's "want" higher taxes?? You mean want higher taxes on RICH people, not on the rest of us. They already pay the most...

OK, have you ever LIVED in a place with socialized medicine or "healthcare for all"? I have, and folks, it aint pretty! I am 41 and was born in Canada. When I was born, there was no, "Will you...

I believe the President way over-stepped his bounds! That is why we have a checks-and-balances system, to avoid this kind of thing. Otherwise, it makes our "president" a dictator, which he seems...

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for that! I LOVE my country, but healthcare, (free or otherwise,) is NOT A right! Nor is education and many other things we in this country have gotten used to. ...

Here's the thing: I work for a Catholic hospital and I am not Catholic. It frustrates me to no end that they don't pay for BCP unless it is for "health reasons", but they will pay for things like...

OK, I think I've read enough responses to reply. First, don't volunteer to gain experience. If you need money, EARN it! Don't work for free, especially if you are trying to learn a new skill. ...

I don't this this person was really offering serious advice. I think he was tired of being bothered and was being a rude idiot. That being said, some real advice: it's OK to use an objective as a...

I am NOT posting from hearsay. I am speaking from experience. While I do not currently live in St. Louis anymore, I lived there for 11 years AND worked in the city, both as a medic for city EMS and...

When I was there they called them "medics" but the were really EMT's and not allowed to do much. I haven't been there for a few years though, so that may have changed.

I've worked for both the SSM and BJC health system and they both used to have good benefits. I no longer reside in STL, so I don't know what the current salaries are, but, when I was there both of...

NurseMike. Please do not misunderstand my post. I am NOT in ANY WAY excusing the horrific behavior of that triage nurse. You are absolutely correct in that every kind of nursing has its own...

As an ER nurse (who sometimes works triage) let me say I am truly sorry for your experience. I am very pro-patient and pro-nurse, and I know I will take some heat for this, but I have a few...

Attention all nurses, CNAs and Techs out there! I could really use your help for a project I'm doing about how we as staff can affect change, and how changes made by people (like managers, CEOs, VPs...

Please don't change your mind! Her response was probably part bitterness and part a dose of reality. That said, things change all the time. When I graduated 5 years ago, they were offering $6000...

Go for it sister! I started nursing school when I was 34, and was surprised to find I was amongst the youngest in my classes! With age comes experience, and you can't put a value on the confidence...

i don't see this as that big a dilemma. if she has been bragging to multiple people about cheating, she clearly isn't being very covert about it and isn't especially worried about getting caught. ...
