2. EKG Websites

   Salty1 replied to AmyHall's topic in MICU, SICU

   Why not send an e-mail to [email protected] as the site listed on his home page (V-TACHONLINE) is a blind alley and has nothing to do with ACLS. I previously downloaded the ACLS program but have...

   Salty1 replied to got2luvnights's topic in General Nursing

   If I was counsel for the Defendants I would have only one question: "How much can we settle this for?" This is not the type of case to try in front of a jury - sympathy factor alone might result in a...

   Salty1 replied to karbyr's topic in Correctional

   I would agree that it appears to be primarily a custody issue. The program, enacted as a Federal Law, provides funding for training and is administered by National Institute of Corrections. The law's...

   Salty1 replied to aprilleverett's topic in Correctional

   I would think it is not because the COs are soft-hearted. Rather, they are acting in a manner under the doctrine of CYA. The COs, quite properly, want to keep everything on their cell-block quiet and...

   Salty1 replied to Onlyhuman's topic in General Nursing

   Your post is somewhat confusing to me. The question is : At the time of discharge, did the patient have an IV access or not? If not, did he have one previously and did you inspect the site? Not what...

    Salty1 replied to nurseangel78's topic in General Nursing

    As a matter of curiosity, noting that Imitrex did not work for your husband, was it p.o. or injected? For many years I had cluster headaches and after Imitrex became available injected same with...
