One of our patients (a male) was having an affair with a female (both were married I think), and so this female's SO came home and was about to catch them in the act...the male ended up darting out of the apartment (on the second or third floor) and jumped off the porch to the ground level and ended up breaking his leg. He then proceded to crawl/hobble to his car and drive himself to the nearest Target and calling the ambulance from there so that he wouldn't get caught by the female's SO.

Thanks for the advice/information!

I am going to be graduating from an ADN program in a week and as soon as I can after graduation I will take my boards. I was looking at being an ER nurse but was told by several people that getting ICU experience first would be a good idea. I am going to be taking the RN-BSN program starting next summer (2008). I was also looking for a RN-PS program in Iowa (if anyone knows of any good programs in Iowa, please let me know). I have been running on a private ambulance service as an EMT-Basic for about 2.5 years and have worked as a CNA for almost 6 years doing orthopedics (4.5 years) and telemetry (about 1.5 years and I read the telemetry monitors as well). Just looking to see what people's views are for my plans and for any advice.
