Respirator Fit Testing - Non Detection of Bitrix Solution
Hello, I am a Health and Safety Technician working for a production facility and recently started doing Respirator Fit Tests. I've found that generally my employees are not detecting the bitrix solution when spraying into their testing hood prior to masking up. Could anyone share any experiences or advice on either what I'm doing wrong for a person to not detect the spray? Or do I have a LOT of insensitive employees. Thanks in advance.

Do nurses have a responsibility to keep their Facebook professional?
No, they do not have a responsibility AS NURSES to keep it professional. HOWEVER, for ANY job, if they like being employed, it is highly advisable and keep two questions in mind in regards to behavior. 1. Does this embarrass my employer? If you talk crap about your boss, coworkers, or how your hospital, clinic, office does business, then don't be surprised when the rumor mill at work results in your termination. All those people you have friended from work will not keep their mouth shut offline. 2. Who is my audience? Do these people really care about what I'm saying? Why show photos of guzzling beers while you're half dressed for your work "friends" to see? There are distribution lists on FB that you can direct your posts to or exclude them from. I have a handful such as "work, liberal, hometown, besties, and music lovers" So I don't spam my posts to the wrong types of people or things they just don't care about. Bottom line, people that say and do stupid stuff find themselves repeatedly wondering why they are constantly getting themselves in trouble or bad things happening to them. I generally keep any post clean as can be. Once it's on the internet...it's there forever whether you hit the delete button or not. One more thing...Don't be a rat. Don't come to work and run your mouth about what you saw on someone elses internet page. Just shut your yap and get to work....work is not a social club. My Two cents

Transitioning from Military - Corpsman to ASN to BSN - Route to take
Hello all, I am leaving the military (Navy - after twenty years) and sadly, there is no equivalent to the Navy Hospital Corpsman in the civilian world. Time to get a degree I guess...lol. Any others been in a similar situation? My past grade school transcripts are nothing to be proud of but I would like to complete a BSN ultimately from a good Nursing school. Thoughts directing towards Clemson University. I'm sure that I can't get directly into their program solely on years of medical experience in combat and my good looks, so considering doing the ASN through the local community college to attain the needed GPA to continue along to BSN. I guess my question is, am I wasting my time by getting the ASN and then the BSN? Any people with similar experiences would be much appreciated. Better ways to go about this? Thanks
