I think I did that when I first moved away from home. I still have a couple of red bedspreads that I use as drop cloths, but they do not get washed with other clothes. It's so nice to have my own washer and dryer, always clean and in perfect repair....

What color are your scrubs? Red is never safe, even after years, as I know from personal experience. I would not risk intense colors like the purple scrubs shown in the ad associated with this thread, either. My 22 year old washer and dryer (at 2 l...

I received the vaccine yesterday, December 15. This was the first day it was available to the general population in my county. I had a slight soreness for half a day at the injection site (right deltoid). No other symptoms. On the other hand, a 25...

My skull has lumps and dents. No history of head trauma. Luckily for me, I have a full head of hair.

Those scissors are listed by Hach Company as Clippers (Shears) for $15.45. I use them to open powder pillows. Since they are included in a picture of extraction tools, I guess they must be sturdy enough to cut seat belts.

Here are the 2007 census household incomes. The upper chart is unadjusted, the lower chart has all of the years converted to 2007 dollars: http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/income/histinc/f01AR.html As the chart is divided into fifths: Second fifth ran...

I earned my BA in 1979, so yes, I remember going to the library for term paper research, and also typing papers with a typewriter. I also remember computer punch cards, and waiting 90 minutes average for the mainframe to run my programs. Walter Will...

Williss2: Where do you live? Standard of living is wages divided by cost of living. The denominator (cost of living) is more important than the numerator (wages) because it varies more. I am not a healthcare worker, but my wages are perhaps somewha...

Here in Ohio, the actual penalties for failing to report for jury duty vary by county and even by judge (as opposed to the written law). In Wayne County, they would probably just ignore you (perhaps because so many of us take our civic duties seriou...

I hope this catches on in America some day!

The bed is supposed to be lowered when the patient is unattended? I am not a healthcare worker, but was an ICU patient in 2003. I would lower the bed when I needed to get out, and then raise it back up after I was back in bed. The nurses never adj...

I work at 2 different locations, a quarter mile apart on the same road. It is about 4 miles and takes about 6 minutes. 1 stop sign on the way to work, none on the way home. No traffic lights, no school zones, no railroad tracks. Mapquest says it i...

Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia are controversial diagnoses. Some consider them to be actual diseases, while others consider them to be malingering. The malingering camp thinks that Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia patients use their "illnesses" ...

Are you getting enough sleep? I have had this happen to me. If I am sleepy to the point where I am no longer learning anything, I take a nap, and then continue to read afterward.

I eventually requested my medical records from when I was in the hospital in 2003. It's just not possible to be an informed patient without a copy of the medical records.

I look at name tags when I interact with people. As a result of this topic, I started to specifically look to see whether the last name was on the name tag. As a general rule (for all businesses, not just healthcare), managers have last names, whil...

Glad to hear that you will be getting an A. That being the case, I would not argue about the paper, either. Every paper at the college I attend has had to be in APA format. I have been attending so long (I started Fall 1993) that I had to buy a new...

in general, i agree with your theory. while some people are able to learn more than others, we all have our limits. in addition, we are all limited by time. there are 24 hours in a day. time spent reading is time that can not be spent in other are...

Are you guys sure that this is not an April's Fools joke?

What if you start watching Univision? The captions are also in Spanish, if you enable them.

You are describing Eureka, California. January high: 54.7 degrees January low: 41.6 degrees August high: 63.1 degrees August low: 53.3 degrees Yearly rainfall: 36.3 inches Yearly snowfall: 0.4 inches This data is from my Weather America reference b...

Ohio passed a concealed carry law a few years ago. No anarchy here. In fact, I feel safe enough that I have not bothered to get a concealed carry permit. I took security guard and advanced firearms training many years ago, too. One of my health c...

One of the Slate writers worked on an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico, 60 miles from shore (she wrote columns about the different jobs she worked; one of the jobs was a nude model for art class). All of her allergies cleared up. For those of us with ...

My Disease Processes textbook lists alternative treatments for each disease. I plan on sticking with the conventional treatments, myself.

I would just ignore his comments, myself. It would never have occurred to me that people might think you are a recovering alcoholic with a suspended license because you ride the bus. I rode the bus when I worked in Cleveland many years ago. There ...
