2. Hospitals fund drunk tanks...

   NMAguiar replied to NMAguiar's topic in General Nursing

   I thought "College Campus" and "Drunk Tank" were synonimous. :roll

3. Hospitals fund drunk tanks...

   NMAguiar replied to NMAguiar's topic in General Nursing

   After reading 2ndCareer_Rn's posting, another issue came to mind. Since police and EMS representatives pick up most drunks, won't liability issues force them to still be delivered to emergency rooms? Speaking as a former paramedic, most regularly con...

   I love your avatar Emily_mom. You've sure opened a can of it today!:roll

5. Hospitals fund drunk tanks...

   NMAguiar replied to NMAguiar's topic in General Nursing

   Well ... actually ... it does mean they need to be locked up -- for their own safety. Their psych issue will hopefully be worked out under the morning sun over a cup of dark java.

6. Hospitals fund drunk tanks...

   NMAguiar replied to NMAguiar's topic in General Nursing

   Sorry, I wasn't clear enough in my original posting. I was referring to why aren't the intoxicated being taken to the local police drunk tank these days to "sober up?" They weren't always arrested, but they were tracked in most jurisdictions as to t...

   NMAguiar replied to rileygrl11's topic in General Nursing

   As in most situations, those that counsel an endeavor is too hard are usually too cowardly to try, or didn't apply enough effort to the task themselves. If you believe you'll succeed... you WILL!

   NMAguiar posted a topic in General Nursing

   Under the category of "Sad, but Sensible," San Francisco hospitals, frustrated with chronic homeless alcoholics who sleep it off in emergency room beds, will donate $400,000 so the city can create a safe place for drunks to sober up, hospital and cit...

9. IN MEMORIAM: RN dead after firefighting accident...

   NMAguiar replied to NMAguiar's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks Sally_ICURN! The concept of an RN in a firestation intriqued me -- although it seemed a perfect fit for all involved. Another reason to celebrate this special person's life. She must have been an amazing person who transversed barriers.

10. IN MEMORIAM: RN dead after firefighting accident...

    NMAguiar replied to NMAguiar's topic in General Nursing

    How true. A dedicated nurse who chose to continue saving lives -- even through her own death. I haven't found anything that explained her role as RN/firefighter. Previously, weren't most fire department medics either EMTs or Paramedics? I found it ...

    A San Francisco Fire Department spokeswoman today said that Melinda Ohler, 40, a firefighter and registered nurse, who suffered critical injuries while responding to a call for help last week, was pronounced dead at 7:30 Monday morning. Ohler underw...

12. Where does everybody buy their nursing supplies???

    NMAguiar replied to Charlie3200's topic in General Nursing

    Just my two cents. I dunno. I've ordered several items from AllHeart lately, and the service was great, the prices were great. Since all their products are highly recognizable name-brand stuff, how can the quality be poor? They don't carry good car...

13. Grading Scale For Your Nursing Program........

    NMAguiar replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Nursing

    The grading scale at Peter's school is a nightmare! NO WONDER THERE'S A FRIGG'N NURSING SHORTAGE!!! I'd love to compare the workload and course work with the typical 80-75=C school. Geez, only 1 person in our class recieved an "A" on any of three mi...

15. To Male Nurses!

    NMAguiar replied to Ted's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion, a major focus of your video -- especially targeted to an eighth grade male -- will be to portray nursing as a MAN'S occupation. All the little testoserone sponge-heads will probably be giggling initially with the reactions "nursing is ...
