    Emergent replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Can't think of anything. I'm lucky, I am making the most of this year. In January the hospital I worked for suddenly closed due to bankruptcy. I made great use of unemployment for 2 months,...

    Is Assessing Gag Reflex Still a Thing?

    Emergent replied to Nurse-please's topic in General Nursing

    I just finished recertifying tncc and they talked about gag reflex a lot, as far as putting in an oral airway, then preparing for intubation. The teacher is a flight nurse and so is familiar with what...

    If Tulsa becomes a hotzone, I won't be volunteering there

    Emergent replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think we in the United States know how things go here. If it was more to the right-wing conservative type person, they like to criticize the protesters and rioters. If it's a left-wing liberal type,...
