  2. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

  3. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    In the ER was a guy who came in saying he had " groin pain" he acted very peculiar and it was hard to get a history and definitive c/c. Said he could only talk to the male doc. So when we finally get him in the back, I try to talk to him and explain ...

  10. Is this the right choice for me?

    OHHHH to be 24, single and not a single restriction in the world!!! Girl, the world is yours and you should definitely go for it! I agree about NOT renting out your condo or if you do, allow a 6 month lease. If you're near an international airport, y...
  11. Hi all, I'm in the same boat. Finished my application and now waiting on enrollment. Are you able to register for these exams if you have some Gen ED courses to either CLEP out or take before the nursing ? Sorry, very new to all this and trying to le...
