  2. Funny Sign In Slips

    troutfishinEMT replied to TraumaInTheSlot's topic in Emergency

    Well, a furuncle is a boil caused by an infected hair follicle - maybe that's what they were trying to say? As for the nut thing - "nutting" "nutted" "got a nut" are all slang for ejaculating, and...

  4. narcan question

    troutfishinEMT replied to gonzo1's topic in Emergency

    Hate to say this, but, um, if you gave a pt ANYTHING through an ET tube, it would end up... in their lungs, right? And narcan is inactivated if given orally - so to answer the ops original question -...

  5. Any nurses that went through EMT-B Training?

    troutfishinEMT replied to nerrollus's topic in General Nursing

    +100 to all the other replies - unless it would totally interfere with nursing school (which it sounds like it won't) even just doing your EMT clinicals in the ER and riding on an ALS bus as a student...

    troutfishinEMT replied to Motherpain's topic in Florida Nursing

  7. Required to wear all white and carry a flower during pinning cermony

    troutfishinEMT replied to Bala Shark's topic in Men in Nursing

    Not that I'll walk, but if given a choice, I would be dressed in my homely white student uniform, spackled with my choice of scented bodily fluids (you could pick your theme! GI bleed? Too much...

    troutfishinEMT replied to saguaro13's topic in General Nursing

    troutfishinEMT replied to soundasleep's topic in General Nursing

    http://www.jeffstateonline.com/nursing/Default.htm Most CC's require A/P one and two as pre-reqs... if you check that link, it seems your school integrates them into the program. Good

  10. Drug addicted nurses

    troutfishinEMT replied to ske0124's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Lowell, I for one, totally support you - we all know the benzos are addicting and can see where they might raise a flag - but 27 years (I believe you said?) of never being reported or suspected of...

  11. Random Question about chewing gum

    troutfishinEMT replied to labcat01's topic in General Nursing

    LMAO - I never knew that I was a "parker", but I am one, too! I have this issue where I get a little dysphagic if I'm not regularly sipping water (or have a mint/gum in my mouth)... and since carrying...

  12. What gift to buy for a new nurse?

    troutfishinEMT replied to feenie's topic in General Nursing

    I like the personalized, good stethoscope recommendation - as for scrubs - not so much - he's a straight guy that doesn't need 14 pairs of "cute" scrubs, right? (No offense to guys that aren't...

    troutfishinEMT replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Nursing

    troutfishinEMT replied to Motherpain's topic in Florida Nursing

    Depending on which part of Jax you're moving to - FCCJ also has MA/CNA classes, and may be closer than SJRCC. (Jax is in Duval County - SJRCC is St. John's

  15. Share Your Saying

    troutfishinEMT replied to angelique777's topic in Nursing Humor

    "You know, you're good for two things; sh!t, and nothing." My mom used to say that to me all the time. Jokingly, I think. :) Oh yeah, her other favorite was usually directed to both me and my brother...

  16. The most embarrasing thing you've done at work!

    troutfishinEMT replied to ClaireMacl's topic in Nursing Humor

    My first term as a student, I had a 90 yo female pt with very limited mobility who needed help getting from the bed to the chair by the bedside. I helped facilitate this move by grabbing her gently...
