    LearningByMistakes replied to MommyJoy's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    While someone can teach things they don't know, or haven't done, how exactly are they able to answer the questions asked by students, or teach effectively? This is one of the biggest problems I see in...

    Thank you BlueDevil for your Liberal/ Socialist view. Unlike you, many Americans do NOT want YOUR Liberal/ Socialist version of America. Plenty of places that meet YOUR needs outside of America, so...

  8. What would you do?

    LearningByMistakes replied to EaglesWings21's topic in General Students

    As a Paramedic of 29 years, and 28 of those working in a city that regularly ranks in the top 5 (many times top 2) of the most dangerous cities in the US, I can tell you that if I was "off the clock"...

    LearningByMistakes replied to Needles McGee's topic in General Students

  14. Why can't nurses intubate?

    LearningByMistakes replied to natnat122's topic in Emergency

    Let there be NO mistake, taking and getting an ACLS &/or PALS card does NOT mean that you can intubate. Why anyone would think they can, is still beyond me. As an ACLS & PALS Instructor for...

    LearningByMistakes replied to emerjensee's topic in Emergency

    LearningByMistakes replied to NursEMT-P's topic in Flight, Surface Transport
