oh and for the record... given my history when it comes to flying (always, and I do mean ALWAYS within 10 feet of a screaming crying baby... the duration of the flight being directly correlated with the volume of their screaming of course) I have to say, there are times when I feel that...

I am hearing, currently learning ASL because the area I live in/work in (Riverside and the OC respectively) does have a significant deaf population and aside from my partner at work (who is also an ASL student) I have yet to meet another EMS person who can sign. Hence, the desire to learn to...

for some reason there have been quite a few of these kind of stories lately. not sure why. i don't remember this kind of stuff happening when I was in high school. it does kind of reminds me of one of my first 911 calls. was for a 7 year old girl who collapsed at a youth soccer game. same...

ok i know this is going a little :topic: and i do appologize for that, but what is oral deaf and how is it different from deaf? Thanks

my partner (at work) and I are both taking asl classes and we are constantly signing back and forth through out the day. We have had a few Deaf people come up to us and start conversations, but never had one tell us we were being rude. Most Deaf people that I have encountered think that it's...

It is also statutory rape when a 17 year old has sex with an 18 year. This is a crime that is often prosecuted here in California. There is absolutely no leniency in the law. What happens when a couple of high school sweet hearts, both 17, are in a sexually active relationship, then one of...

This is where a tape recorder would have been very nice to have. I know that out in the LA area, most cops carry one in their shirt pocket (usually for traffic stops and what not) that would have been very handy to have here. If you are yelling at a cop, you can deny it all you want... until...

most companies will allow you to rent a car if you are under 25, but they will charge a premium for it, supposedly coz of the extra insurance.

a couple hotspots that i didn't see on the list... Hollywoodland (nice little town/area at the base of the hill where the Hollywood Sign is... and yes you can hike up to the sign which I would highly recommend) Would also recommend a trip down PCH. The scenery is outright awesome, you will see...

when you say not all nursing requires that, do you mean that there are floors a nurse can work on that do not require it or that there is more to a nurses job than that? Also, i know you can palpate a bp to obtain a systolic but my understanding is that the diastolic can be just as important...

I am curious... and i'm not trying to start a flame war or ignite any fires here, i'm just curious... without HA or CI, how would you assess lung sounds or manually take a blood pressure? (yes I know there are machines that can take a bp but they have been known to give false readings and can...

I usually have a lot of stuff going on my box, so I found a nifty little program to cube it and basically give me like 6 desktops. I don't have to go searching for a program I opened earlier which is way nice. :)

It isn't exactly the selling of the cards themselves, but if you can scan them at a high enough resolution you can sell them on deviantART: where ART meets application!. I have some pictures on the site that have sold... you can basically set your own prices and I feel the amount they take for...

Thanks for the welcome. Yes there is a huge need for male health care workers, at least on the professional level (above the allied level that is). That's something I'm kind of counting on when I get my RN license and go job hunting (hello UCLA or USC Uni Hospitals :D)

Hey. My name is James and I'm a hearing ASL student. I started out taking ASL because there are not a lot of people in the medical field (especially in the pre-hospital setting where I currently work) who are proficient in ASL, but the more I am learning the more fascinating I am finding, not...
