    ERRNTraveler replied to punkstar's topic in Emergency

    In the past, I have had to grab whoever was handy (housekeeper, secretary, etc) to write things down on scratch paper, so I could chart them later. I'd just call out what drug I was giving, so they...

    ERRNTraveler replied to sassysteph7's topic in Travel

    Well, if you don't take company housing, you'll either get a housing stipend, or you'll make more per hour. Same as if you choose not to take their insurance- any money that they're not spending on...
