I have found that a relatively expensive stethoscope, while often providing a slightly better sound, isn't much better than those cheapie disposables that hospitals provide for patients in isolation. If you can try out a stethoscope, that's best. Li...

Plenty of errors and poor care have come from people out of traditional programs. Accreditation is by national organizations, and it's consistently applied. There will always be reasons for MD's to prefer PA's (who cannot practice independently and t...

University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) has a total online RN to BSN program for about $240 a credit hour. How many hours depends on what you've already done.

No one said it was against her will--not me, not her. I'm glad you and your two female soldiers were so close, I'm sure it made a difference in your experience. I also think it qualifies you for nothing more than your own experiences, and not a lot...

First, thank you for your service. My son was a Marine and my proudest day was seeing him graduate from basic. I appreciate what you have done and who you are. I don't know about alluding to plots. I do know that it is sometimes very hard to get m...

I googled military menstrual suppression drugs and such, and didn't find anything like what she described, also nothing to suggest any long term effects. What is available online, and I only am interested in scholarly sources, are what we see advert...
Anyone know what drugs were given for women in combat in the Middle East for menstrual suppression? A client served 8 years as an EOD (explosives ordnance disposal, for the uninitiated--as I was until recently!) and spent weeks out in the sand with ...
