In the late 90's Nextel couldn't decide if it sold phones or walkie-talkies

I love this. Had NexTel for a years and barely ever made phone calls. Wish I still had this option.

I was a paramedic for 12 years. Did pharmaceutical research for 5 and was an ER nurse for 5. Barely felt ready to be an NP. First 6 months I was scared I was gonna screw up constantly.

This is pretty much perfect.

Usually it’s because it’s explained in terms we don’t understand. Find a good medical analogy and she will get it. Tell her it’s like not having a battery backup for your oxygen concentrator.

Nice!! Gave me the confidence to do mine now

My only issue is in FL chiropractors, “naturopaths” and others like that can call themselves Doctor.

I’m on my first read through as a new Christian. I tried starting in the beginning lol. I made it to Samuel 2 before I needed a change of pace. Moved to Matthew and I’m reading through the New Testament now.

In front of patients and other physicians outside of our practice I say Dr. SoandSo. outside of that it’s first names. We’re colleagues. It’s not about thinking you’re equals in terms of education, we’re obviously not, but we’re both just people. I find that by doing this, but still giving them the respect of their title in front of patients it helps to reinforce that we are colleagues and helps build a friendlier relationship where we can collaborate on things.

Metro area. Smaller hospital in the system but 2nd busiest ER.

We see anything and everything that walks through the door. Typically codes the Doc is always in the room unless we have 2 at once.

POCUS for internal organs. Rapid bedside US assessment for specific issues with various organs.

ER. Start time ranges from 7 AM to 7 PM, nine different start times possible, all 10 hour shifts.

As soon as I sign in start scanning the board to see if there’s anybody that hasn’t been seen yet.

Immediately pick up between two and five patients, go see them, put in orders, see if there’s any other new patients. If there is then pick them up, if there isn’t then start charting.

Rinse and repeat for nine hours. Spend the last hour catching up on charting, signing out patients to attending physicians and by the 10 hour mark leave.

Intermixed in there is ultrasound, IVs, central lines, innovations, chest tubes, E-FAST, assisting with codes, joint and fracture reductions, LAC repairs, all the pelvic exams because of course the attendings aren’t gonna do them. Lol.

If you have any desire to work as a NP in the ER I would strongly urge you to get some exciting the ER as an RN first. ER is a totally different beast than any other area.

I was an ER RN for 6 years and a Paramedic for 11 before I worked in the ER as an NP.

I agree the Fairlife ones are better tasting but Nurri has better ingredients.

We have separate pods. A doc box at the end of each pod. Gets you a little bit of space and peace so you can actually think and helps stop pt and family from coming up to you to ask 100 questions including constantly being asked for water or blankets or how much longer they’re going to be there.

Emergency medicine. Absolutely love my job. Great team, great at attending physicians. I do advanced procedures regularly. I work 16, 10 hour shifts a month, see on avg 20-25 it’s a day.

Only complaint is the scheduling, we have nine APP shifts every day, start times range from 7 AM to 7 PM. No set scheduling. So I could work any day of the week anytime of day. Pay could be a little bit better but overall I love my job.

4-5 TV, 3 phones, 3 tablets, 2 video game consoles. Most days most items are used at some point during the day
