I'm one who grew up in a smoking household, and have had asthma all my life, worsened by it. My stepdad's best solution to the problem was, and I quote, "carry him down to that doctor and get him a shot or sumthin' ", which was never a solution to a...

I own a Littmann Cardiology II and I love it, although it's a bit bulky at times. Got mine as a factory refurb. This model has the bell/diaphragm configuration, where the newer Cardiology III does not. The Littmann Classic IISE, the de-facto stand...
OK...here's what I found at the GA Secretary Of State's website: http://sos.georgia.gov/plb/faqs/13%20faqs.htm It's a little vague, but may be of help to some. :typing
My information has it that the State Of GA does NOT allow for LPN by equivalency. I took the MA course, which is very similar to an LPN course, at Bryman in Atlanta in the early 90's. Lots of LPN's tell me they got their licenses by equivalency, so...
Absolutely ! In fact, if not already, it should be policy to leave silly neurotic behaviour such as stereotyping AT HOME. It has no place on the job, especially when, as luck might have it, the next patient one treats just might be a gay person. W...
What are your thoughts on a that smokes? Not a very good nurse ! As one who suffers from fragrance/smoke sensitivity, I cannot have any nursing staff that smokes taking care of me. I guess I'd die at the rate things are going nowadays. I've seen "nur...
No matter WHO this doctor THINKS he is, comments like this are NOT acceptable, and very unbecoming of a physician. Their kids have no business being babysat by the nursing staff, and that too is not a good thing. I remember a scene from Emergency! w...
I did all the pictures when my sister's kids were born. She wanted to be able to show them where babies actually come from, and not be sugar-coating the "big talk". The doctor and I worked great together, and he even directed me on several priceles...
Clee1, do you remember the incident at the hospital in Jasper, the old location (not the new facility on 515, but on 53 in town), when a female nurse had to shoot in order to protect herself from a male assailant, and only missed one shot ? It was m...
this has no place in nursing or in any other healthcare environment, period. the coworkers should be disciplined and suspended. obviously, the coworkers have some "issues" of their own, like, maybe, immaturity ??? a male nurse (or in my case ma)...
At last, another healthcare professional who's also a rocker ! I'm new to the forum, and feel quite a relief when I meet anyone who respects Sir Eddie...let's me know I'm among friends. When I'm not doing my MA gigs, I play a Les Paul, the now-coll...
I'm also interested in doing exams for Portamedic. There's a location down the road from me, and I've already faxed my resume', but I wanted to hear a little more about the pay (duh, of course) and whether one is 1099 or W2. Judging from your heade...
