    Nurses cant do IO?

    Just because it is allowed at the state level doesn't mean the hospital has to allow it to be done. In some states RTs can intubate but the hospital does not allow it. Ive placed a fair share of them...

    Wilderness first responder vs. wilderness EMT

    Is it worth it to get that if you want to be a RN. Sure why not. Any medical training can be worth it if it is part of your dream. I say this coming from a mountain search and rescue team. While what...
