    qanik replied to ER2Ed's topic in Emergency

    qanik replied to noelle4's topic in Emergency

    OK I have to ask. Where is the manager in all this? I made my living as an ED manager for many years. Why is he or she not informed about these types of preceptors? Are your managers involved in your...

  9. Heatview Scan Results....good? bad?

    qanik replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I would add a few things. A calcium score of 12 is NOTHING. But just as important is there is no correlation between Ca+ score and coronary disease. As some have mentioned you can have a score of 0...
