Well,from what I have learned thus far,start up is pretty expensive,I mean stuff like transport vents,heart monitor/defibulators,O2 equipment,x-ray,ect,ect.But since I will be dealing with a very narrow segment of the population,and then only one pat...

Hello,I hope some one can give me some input on this. In the spring of 2006 I started my volunteer hours at a large Pediatric hospital in central alabama as a Clinical Asstant,orthopedic dept,I assted with their cast clinic once a week, Once the tech...

I just wear what the docs wear,plain ol scrubs that I buy from the med school or the book store,$14 a pair,in OR green or light blue.The brand name is Fashion Seal,they are very durable,comfortable and rather inexpensive,and if I feel like identifin...

I have posted on this subject before,but in regards to a watch with a "sweep" second hand,it refrers to the "movement" of the second hand.You can get an inexpensive watch with a second hand,but it will no doubt be of the "quartz" variety,which run on...

Some time the situation will arise that may mean life or death,and you are the only one to do the job,sexism cant get in the way of life and death situations.If it were me,and I was the only one available,I would explane whats going on to the PT,and ...

You know,I think its the same thing with a lot of steriotypes,most people dont really know what its all about or never bothered to be educated about it,so,they live in ignorance.I had a friend and we were at a Christmas Party,and we met another guy,...

9/12/09 Hey guys's I was told by my Vocational Rehab cordinator about my pursing a career in nursing,due to the fact I had some back "issues",telling me that as a male nurse,I would be called on all the time to do the heavy lifting,poop detail and ju...

9/12/09 I heard,and I do not if it is true or not,but that the American Nursing Accociation is supporting this health care bill that they are currently trying to pass?Have they even looked at whats in that bill?How could they possibly support a sing...

Other proposals have been voiced,but the democrats on the far left,lead by Nancy Palosi, have shot down or dismissed many meanigful and good plans,but did not have a public option or any plan with launguage that prohibit tax payer abortion.Again,this...

I think,from my personal experence,that one of the most dangerous things that can happen,althoug rare,is snake bite. Snake bite on a kid is extreemly bad,they do not have the body mass to absorb the venom(this is true with black widow bites as well)A...

No,dont think so.If that were the case,why is the launguage in the bill?And who is doing this debunking? the Liberal left who want this passed? The people have spoken,they do not want this,or the huge taxes that go with it.And when has the goverment ...

In regards to sweeping second hand.On a inexpensive watch,you most likely will not find one as they use the cheaper "quartz movement",it is run by battery power and has a "click,click,click" movement(hard to take a pulse like that,you can end up coun...

First off ,have you read THE bill,HR32,that is being proposed?Second,how do you explane that in poll after pol,85% of americans are happy with there health insurance?Third,there is no 45 miliion people that do not have health care.Subtract the over ...

9/21/09 First,Let me say that the current health care plan,the one with the public option,being proposed by the Obama administration,is not about health care,its about control.The Goverment wants to have more and more control over the lives of the Am...

The perfect watch for me, and I'm a guy so bare with me. The Rolex Explorer II. First off, it's made of surgical grade stainless steel and hermetically sealed and pressure proof to 600', so I can autoclave it if I wanted to and no matter what gets on...
