Episode 24: Burns Part 1

In today’s episode, I have some very exciting news!
First, I have a newsletter that will be published weekly on Wednesdays. On show weeks, you’ll get a reminder note that the show is out, and on off weeks, you’ll get tips and tricks culled from my 28+ years in medicine/nursing. To sign up, just come to my site and look for the sign up on the right side of the page.
Next, something many of you have been asking about since I began the show almost a year ago. Continuing education credit will be available by the next episode!! To obtain it, all you have to do is listen to the show and then sign in at the new site I’ve set up to handle the testing…….phoenixce.com. At that site, you will be able to take the test and receive your certificate. You’ll also be able to take tests on many of the previous podcasts also. And don’t worry if you haven’t ketp the files. I have the audio only files along with any PDF’s from the podcasts available for download on that site also. Each audio file will be in self extracting zip format so you can download it and listen to it either on your computer or load it back onto your iPod.
And for convenience of Florida nurses, your creditd will be automatically reported to CEBroker. For nurses from other states, you’ll need to save your certificate and do with it as you would any other CEU course.
This has been a long time coming and took a bit of extra work behind the scenes to set up, but I hope enjoy this new benefit and take advantage of it!

And in the news today:

I talk about ED mystery shoppers (PDF file), a standaradized test to diagnose diabetes, REM sleep to help solve problems, the significance of TIA’s, and one of my favorite topics recently………..the swine flu! Links and more on the site.

And finally, here it is. Burns part 1.

Enjoy!
