    Paramedics in the ER

    Medic2RN replied to errneducator's topic in Emergency

    Medic2RN replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    You list that you're 89 years old. If all ladies kept them free until they reached your age, we'd be dragging those boobies a couple of feet behind us! Why not look at it as conserving them to remain...

    Medic2RN replied to jensfbay's topic in General Nursing

    Excelsior Students That are Paramedics, What is your Hourly Wage?

    Medic2RN replied to sbuxdrinkr's topic in Online Distance Learning

    There's another aspect to consider also - whether you work for a fire based EMS system or private. I worked in a fire based system and I took a considerable paycut to start nursing. To the OP,...

    Electrolyte test

    Medic2RN replied to smurfet's topic in General Nursing

    A-fib can cause an increase in CPK. By 'creatine' and the value you gave, I am assuming you mean creatinine in a basic metabolic panel. I am not aware of coumadin or heparin increasing that lab value....
