I always keep these things in my house, and in my vehicle. (consider it the boy scout/soldier in me to be a little over prepared, but better over than under) You can customize your kit to accommodate your likely needs. with glass be prepared for lots of bleeding. First Protect you, and other lay responders CPR Shield Gloves (latex free, non-sterile) 2 Cheap Clear safety glasses. 2 white dust masks 2-3 trash bags (make great aprons in a pinch or drop cloth to catch blood so you don't leave a trail out the door looking like someone got murdered) 1 small bottle of hand sanitizer. Basics: 1 bottle hydrogen peroxide Several pieces 4x4 gauze (sterile preferred) Several non stick pads Array of band-aids butterfly closures moleskin alcohol pads cotton swabs Adhesive tape (surgical and duct) sharpie marker notepad and pen and pencil 2 Emergency Space blankets 3-4 bandannas (or triangular dressings) Scissors/Shears Forceps Hemostat Flashlight (mini mag light) Medications Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) Asprin Ibuprofen Pepto bismol Glucose Tablets Triple Anitbiotic ointment Bengay Extras I have and recommend, but not necessary unless you a going to be a ways from medical care. SAM splints (at least 2) see link bellow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPmVTKuSbio Quick clot pads Make sure you are trained to do first aid and work only within scope of practice.

Was not a marine. Army Special Forces 05-09. Honestly after being deployed and the long days and hours I am looking forward to a 3 day work week. But I do agree that especially the group of kids my age and a little older that have had the combat stress will be a great asset to the medical profession.

I would go on a few dates as friends. If you want to get more serious, ask you manager what they would do. If you are letting them know you are willing to get a new job, they might amend the policy. You might have to work different shifts, and would have to be professional at the office.

Do not dwell on it. You have to rationalize things out. If you had not been there to see it you would have likely been looking at a body in casket. Instead of seeing a blue and dying child, get a picture of the girl after the accident and when you think of it look at the pic and say that wouldn't have happened without me.

I am at Athens Tech. Currently I need to finish A&P 2 to have all my prerequisites for the ADN program. Unfortunately I could not get it all completed by the deadline to start fall 2010 and have to Wait until Fall 2011 to start the program. Would anyone have any suggestions on things I could study on my own to make things easier for me when I do start the program?

If you want a BSN and your scores are good and you live in state, you can go to MCG on Hope. I know the main campus is in Augusta, and I think satellite campuses in Athens and Columbus.

Go for the community college. You can always go to Emory to get a BSN or MSN part time while you work.

Set your TV to ESPN for a week and imbibe. Highly recommend starting on a Saturday during college football season.

If you want to stand out get you a conservative suit (dark). Wear a shirt and tie. Dressing up shows that you are serious about the job and willing to go above and beyond the person who wears the minimum dress code. Just wear a conservative tie, nothing loud and flashy. First impressions are very important. You want to stand out, but in a good way. Always dress one level higher than you would work. In my opinion a long sleeve shirt and a tie are a minimum though.

Based on some of these stories, they could be one in the same. Also for anyone questioning the mechanics check out the South Park Episode titled "the Death Camp of Tolerance"

I saw a few female doctors, PA, and NP when I was at my university health center and they would have another staff member present. It did not have to be a male and a female in the room. The policy seems problematic to me because any policy should equally apply to all persons. A female can inappropriately touch someone as easily as a male. Just write a complaint letter to the administration asking to revise the policy.

For standing up I recommend avoiding a running shoe. They are designed to make you roll up onto the ball of your foot. Walking shoes or cross trainers tend to keep the weight evenly distributed on your feet.

I have had a pair of these for a few years, they have all different varieties, I have the sprint model that has the strap across the top of the foot. My only complaint was that I got a size or so too big and they are too pricey to get a new pair. They will take some time to get used to having pressure on every single toe instead of the few points with a normal shoe. The plus side is that I do not get blisters with these especially between the foot. Like someone tried to mention earlier, do not go do a technical hike however, unless you have snake boots, no shoe will protect you from rattlesnakes. I have gone on many 5-7 mile hikes on trails I am familiar with in my five fingers, you do not have any ankle support and lack puncture support. Wash them with a load of dish towels to keep from getting Grocery Store foot.
