It's midnight on Friday. I may be finished by 9 AM in time for class at 10. I don't know what to do. I never see my family. I just sit at this stupid desk and read and type all of the time, and I have a year and a half of this left. What am I do...

Thank you. I think I'll sleep a little now. It's been 36 hours.

Came pretty close a few times today. Not even the heated talk shows could help. The icy blast of Fall helped a little though. Yeah, the math degree was nothing compared to this.

You know, I see support like this all the time on this board, and I think, "It's nice, but it doesn't seem like it would really help." But it helped a whole heap, and I thank you much for it. I did have to pull an allnighter last night because of li...

It's too early to stress out. I can't help you with the books, but go to fastweb.com and scholarships.com for the scholarships. You can also use google. If you make scholarship apps a 1 to 2 hour per week job, you should get a lot of money. Many ...

If you are, in fact, listening with a cuff, and you're releasing the pressure slowly, then make sure your stethoscope bell is rotated to the correct position. Some of them rotate, and you have to tap lightly on the bell to determine if it is facing ...

If you have the time, and you really practice, Rosetta Stone seems to work pretty well. It helps a ton if you learn with a friend or loved one. It also helps if you have a fluent friend who can explain some of the grammar to you. Regards, Kenny B. ...

Great point. CPR and Basic First Aid are like that. They can be the difference between life and death. Rgds, Kenny B.

The EMS folks have resources for dealing with this kind of thing. You might contact them about it. I know this may not help, but when you look back at it practically, it sounds like you did the most important thing. The main thing they always drill...

Sure, but I didn't say anything about proving negligence. I said "held liable." Your comment about unduly influenced (or confused) juries lies at the core of my point here. I know it's cynical, but there are cases in which people have been held liab...

And I haven't met a single firefighter or paramedic who disagrees with this assessment. They all seem to feel that the response is adequate and they either won't stop, or they'll provide minimal aid. Rgds

I'm not trying to argumentative here. I just think it's important that people know possible repercussions of their actions. When I started my EMT class I asked where I could get a jump pack for my car so that I could assist if I ever saw an acciden...

Memorizing which way the decimal goes works for some people, but it could cause you to make a mistake one day that could hurt someone (when things are going crazy, you have a lot of patients, and you just got off of a vacation - for instance). The ex...

I never said he doesn't render aid. He administers CPR and basic first aid if necessary. He won't got beyond that because of liability issues. It's the easiest thing in the world to judge him and talk about what's not acceptable, but he saves live...

That's splendid, but I'd be careful with it. My EMT-B instructor has been a paramedic for years, and he says he doesn't carry a single band-aid in his truck off duty. Why? He does care about people, but he is concerned about lawsuits. Incredible! ...

University of New Mexico has an accelerated BSN that starts in May. The ap is due in January. Santa Fe Community College has an accelerated class starting next May and I don't think you have to apply for that one until January. Let me know if you h...

That's just grand, and it may be true. However, I attended Apollo in Albuquerque, and I can tell you for a fact that representatives from that school lied to me more than once. If you want to verify matriculation agreements, then I'd recommend veri...

There's no reason you can't rent a place in Albuquerque (or even better, Bernallilo), and commute up to Santa Fe for awhile. If you like it, you could get a place up there. If you don't, you could get a place in Albuquerque. The commute is not tha...

If I were going to do it, I'd mix them into the bottle with the earliest expiration date. That way the worst that could happen is that the meds would be wasted early. Regards, Kenny B.

I agree. A lot of self-esteem problems can be cured through the helping of others (certain types of self-esteem problems that is). Nursing might be just the thing. I'm 36 and going for it. I've noticed that older students tend to be valued by the ...

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you can keep the faith. Rgds, Kenny B

Yes, why not circle things. Thanks for the clarification. Rgds, Kenny B.

Could you please tell me why? Thanks in advance! Regards, Kenny B.

And here is where it comes down to a couple of things. Once again, orthotic design is an art form, and not everyone is an artist. The podiatrist has to come with a great (data-based) reputation. The other thing is that, as suesquatch implied, other...

6 words - Custom orthotics from a good podiatrist. I tried many different shoes when I was training, and it came down to the orthotic insoles for me. They not only mold them to your feet, they customize them based on your gait, your application, you...
