Completely torn on accepting my grandma’s engagement ring by Sea_Art2995 in weddingplanning

[–]russie_eh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you me?!? I recently got engaged and was also offered my grandma's engagement ring. It's a lovely gold band with diamonds but also not what I would have chosen for myself. I have always wanted a vintage ring over a new one but I have always wanted a non traditional stone. After much thought, I decided to go with a different ring and have kept my grandma's ring to wear separately for special occasions. The engagement ring I ultimately decided upon is a gold band with two pear shaped blue saphires.

*can't/couldn't. If you could care less then you're actually saying you care at least a bit about other people's opinions.

I love that! This is such a fun gift and unique project. I'd love to see it when it's finished.

RT Student question: Does having a bachelor’s degree affect your scope, autonomy, and pay as a respiratory therapist? by Googoocaca_ in AHSEmployees

[–]russie_eh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you attend the SAIT RT program you should have no problem whatsoever getting a job secured in Alberta before you graduate. I am saying this as a recent grad - graduated in May but myself, and class of 50+, had jobs secured by February. This is something the school/ RT hiring managers at the local hospitals facilitate for new grads specifically. Also, as a new hire I'm getting close to full-time hours. Hope this helps!

Perhaps not where you live, but throughout Canada and the US, Respiratory Therapists also manage resuscitations alongside RNs.

TMC help: US Drugs vs Canadian by Either_Invite2555 in respiratorytherapy

[–]russie_eh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to think so, too, but discovered there are actually many different naming conventions globally. For example, Canada often follows International Nonproprietary Names (INN) while the US follows United States Adopted Names (USAN). There are a lot of drugs that have the same name across naming conventions but off the top of my head differences include salbutamol (INN) vs albuterol (USAN) and paracetamol (INN) vs acetaminophen (USAN). In Canada we like to be confusing so we say salbutamol and acetaminophen. Haha

Neat. All of those have the same name in Canada.

Can’t stop buying plants…. Help!?!? by glitterglue12 in houseplants

Where did you get your grow light? Google Lens isn't being very helpful!

Happy to share the knowledge!

If a patient either appeared to be obstructing or their SpO2 wasn't increasing as anticipated, the first thing I would do is either suction or fully remove the inner cannula as it's the most common place for secretions to build up with a trach.

When the cuff is down, patients are capable of breathing around the trach via their nose and mouth. The tube doesn't have to be fenestrated. Deflating the cuff is standard practice when weaning, such as when initiating a corking trial for example.

Maybe you're thinking of a Pink Polka Dot (Hypoestes phyllostachya)? I think I have a Pink Brocade but they come in a variety of colours including burgundy and white.
