    I used the study guides...verbal wasn't a problem for me but everyone is different. I hired a private math tutor who had taken the GRE. I just researched math tutors on google and talked to a few....

    Had a guy with vibrator stuck in rectum - sedated to remove with some forceps - wanted to die laughing when my ER doc hit the "on" button in there with the forceps and started the thing vibrating....
  12. What would you do?

    Your documenting of the facts only...no bias...will likely not be what gets this guy fired. Whoever he is, he won't know that this had anything to do with you. If anything, his anger may be piqued...
  13. Not properly trained for ER?????

    Clinically, there would be no less preparation for the ER coming out of an Associate program than say a Bachelor's program. A new grad in the ER is a new grad...doesn't really matter what alphabet...
  14. Time to Triage

    Hey Tabitha, Boswell described a great two-tiered system. This is an ideal way for triage to work but if you have only one nurse then the primary assessment or rapid triage has to be performed by the...
