3. The 10 REAL Reasons Men Don't Go to the Doctor

   58flyer replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Men in Nursing

   I have messaged some of you here with my latest news but after looking back over this thread I think there may be others who may want to know. My wife and I have been trying to adopt for over a year...

   I see you have been busy this AM with the posting :typing. Good morning to you sunshine . I know the difference between a hospital and a 5 star motel. But since you brought it up, I bet that hospital...

   58flyer replied to walnuttree91's topic in Emergency

   I hope this doesn't freak you out. In my career in a large city police department I was an evidence technician for 6 years of the 24 years I worked there. Among my duties were photographing injuries...

7. Interesting facts and observations.

   58flyer replied to Ekklesia's topic in Male Nursing Students

   I guess it would be decision time. It would depend on how bad I needed the treatment, how long could it wait, is there a follow on shift with males available, and so on. The only times I have needed...

10. EKG on female patients

    58flyer replied to bill4745's topic in Male Nursing Students

    You're welcome. Since this thread came along I have looked at my Katrina album and it has refreshed my memory of my time in MS. I can't imagine what it must have been like to have been there during...

13. Hurricane coming: evacuate or stay and work?

    58flyer replied to FroggyMama's topic in General Nursing

    I'd have to say I would stay too, but I live in the center of Florida. We don't get storm surge here. Frances and Jeanne came practically over my house. With Frances we were without power for a week...

14. How to dodge HIPAA?

    58flyer replied to liam36's topic in General Nursing

    Officers can "run" anyone, anytime, without any particular reason. It's getting to the person that is the challenge. Traffic stops, for example, cannot be made for that sole purpose. The officer has...

15. How to dodge HIPAA?

    58flyer replied to liam36's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see how it would violate HIPAA if you notified the officer in your ER about his warrants. You might want to make sure he really does have warrants so your credibility doesn't suffer in case he...
