    US Army Nurse Reserve

    Lunah replied to 808murse808's topic in Government, Military

    Depends on the unit to which the reservist is assigned, the AOC, and what the deployment assignment is. A lot of hospital personnel deploy via the professional filler system (PROFIS) in which they are...

    As a PA, how can I be better for the nurses in the ER?

    Lunah replied to Warningsign's topic in Emergency

    What does your attending say when you discuss these cases? Are you being told that what you are doing is appropriate? It is not appropriate for the ER to work up chronic issues. We rule out life...

    What experience would be better, higher acuity or a pediatric ER?

    Lunah replied to ladybug95's topic in Emergency

    You might not get a lot of the trauma action as a casual person unless you already have trauma experience. I think the peds ER would be a better fit for

    I was in the room with a physician who was taking care of a patient that I knew, and I knew this patient's child had committed suicide by hanging a few months earlier. The physician told the patient...

    ER Travel with an ADN

    Lunah replied to detrelibre's topic in General Nursing
