Everything nurses need to be know of ACLS, BLS, & PALS Courses.

Nurses' education doesn't end when they pass the NCLEX. Nurses are legally required to possess the fundamental abilities to save lives. The most commonly used certifications are the BLS, ACLS, and PALS.

Who must possess BLS, ACLS, and PALS certifications?

Basic Life Support (BLS) is required for all registered nurses. Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) is required for nurses who work on the ICU with adults. Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) Required for RNs who work with children.

What's the distinction of BLS as well as ACLS?

Basic Life Support (BLS) is the general name for any type or type of CPR and is mandatory for every registered nurse. Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) is typically required for RNs working in hospitals or provide care to critically ill adults.

Does ACLS protect BLS?

There is no way to get ACLS certification. ACLS doesn't cover BLS and BLS certifications have to be obtained separately. Concerning the ACLS requirement, you need at least a BLS certificate to enroll in the course.

Are hospitals accepting on-line BLS certifications?

Many hospital settings require that registered nurses earn their BLS certification by taking the American Heart Association (AHA) approved course. If you intend for a job in a health environment, particularly in a hospital, it is recommended to complete an AHA hands-on BLS course.

I’m not exactly sure how to phrase this. I, like many others unfortunately, am a scared and confused queer person. Being on the younger side as well I really don’t know what steps to take to be safe. Is removing any note that I’m queer from my socials really something I should do? Should I stop posting about my experiences as a queer person? What apps should I cease use of? As a trans person should I detransition while I’m in public? Etc.

I’m just so lost, I feel like I need a field guide to navigate through this.

I’m sorry for bothering you with it, but your posts have been comforting today. Hope you’re safe too. <3.

Nobody can tell you how to best protect your safety but you, because youre the only one able to guage your situation. Are you in a blue state with protections and an established queer culture? Are you in a small red farm town where trucks full of trumpers drive around with flags and rifles (I am)? Is someone following your car or harassing you at school? Does your town have a rainbow sidewalk? In person, you have to weigh your assessment of danger and awareness of your surroundings against, I guess, your desire to authentically express yourself.

I am a bad judge of this. I am aggressively visibly queer, always have been, and i will never back down from beig confronted. I escalate conflict and then i win them. I dont go seeking it, but when it finds me, I will not be cowed. I have never been in the closet and I will not go there. I value my expression highly and my physical wellbeing very lightly. After a lifetime of suicidal tendencies, my self preservation skills have atrophied.

Thats not to say im not aware of my surroundings and risks. Just that you might have different priorities than I do. Some suggestions:

-Dont use a period tracking app. You write that shit on physical pen and paper and hide it. If you think you nay be pregnant, tell no one until you know for sure.

-Get rid of twitter, mostly because its a shithole and was even before the election.

-Do not give your real name, location, school, age, birthday, or any other identifying information online. My profile says my name is Sasha, I'm an adult, and Im from the broad new england area. Sasha is not my name. I am an adult, you can guess what age that makes me. New england is a large area and I do not speak about identifying landmarks near me. Get a nickname. Remove your age. Lie. Lie about where you live or be vague. You owe this information to nobody, ever. Speak about your experiences, please, we need your voice. But edit those experiences so they dont get used against you.

-use the block button generously

-learn your rights, state and local. Learn how to speak to cops or avoid speaking to cops, rather.

-make real life community connections, particularly around gardening and food sharing. Learn to grow your own food.

-take a first aid cpr class.

-learn to drive, even if you dont end up going for your license. Have the ability to operate a car.

-Learn to shoot, get a license, practice frequently, and be armed.

-stay close to your loved ones. Talk to friends and family and people you trust. Isolation is the enemy.

First Aid Thoughts at 1130am...

Before I begin - If you haven't taken a first aid class yet, GO DO IT! Learn CPR too! I know this might be a bit of a controversial opinion BUT:

I have a huge problem with a lot of EDC/Prepper shit when it comes to IFAK's (individual first aid kits).

99% of the shit is geared toward Basra and Sangin, not going to the beach with friends! Look, let's be honest - unless you're a Tactical Medic, kicking down doors of gang hideouts, you really, fucking, don't need a tourniquet ankle holster!

You read the web pages, watch the videos, see the social media posts, and it's all just Tourniquets this!!!, Tourniquets that!!!!...

But the thing is, tourniquets are only good for a single type of injury, the dreaded uncontrolled extremity bleed! That's it. Nothing else. It is a one trick pony for a situation that doesn't happen all that often for most people.

Think about it... think about how many times in your life outside of being a first responder or in the military that you were confronted with a situation where you really, really, needed a tourniquet.

Damn near close to 0 isn't it? Maybe once, maybe even twice if you spend A LOT of time hunting, hiking, some extreme sports.

You know what is a lot more useful? An old school triangle bandage! Splint, wrap, pressure, hold an ice pack, it's a true multi-tool! And fun fact, you can even use it as a tourniquet!!! Whether it's an extremity injury, head injury, neck, or body... you might find a use for the old bandage! You can even tear it into strips to pack a wound if you need to! There's nothing it does perfectly... but like carrying a Leatherman on your hip, a triangle will work well for a lot of the little things you encounter day in/day out.

So stop and think about what you DO deal with on a common basis. Cuts, scrapes, burns, sprains, breaks, bites, and splinters are all the things that I worry about at home and when we go out. We like to go walking in nature, we like to go to the beach, we cook, we clean, we walk up and down stairs! All of these things can be hazardous to ones health lol!

So I break things into 3 kits.

A kit I keep on me when we go out with just the bare basics, something that will handle the immediate needs until we can get to the car.

A small kit in the car that will handle things a little more until we can get home or if need be an ER or wait for EMS.

A larger kit at home that can handle most things without needing to call 9-1-1 or go to the ER.

So for the personal kit

Small Hemostatic gauze pad

BZK Wipes

Hydrogel patch

Folding shears with a built in seat cutter and window breaker

Gloves

Pen Light w/whistle

Tweezers

Sting/Bite wipes

Triangle Bandage

Moleskin

Tourniquet

Small bright orange/pink signal panel

Multi-tool

Basic wound care for everything from blisters to sprained whatevers without a lot of bulk or weight.

And I'm a big fan of carrying a whistle and signal panel around, because it can be really hard for EMS or anyone to find you if you need to be found, but just let 9-1-1 know you have a whistle and to tell you when EMS gets on scene so you can start blowing it. A signal panel is not a signal mirror, which is great for backpacking/camping to signal SAR helicopters.

I also keep a bright orange signal panel in the car for this reason. If you need AAA to find you, tape that to your back window and see how quick that works out!

A $300 trauma kit is great for someone who has the training, but you're never ever going to use 90% of the stuff - like oral or nasal airways, chest vents, and stuff. And you don't need a $100 giant IFAK on your hip just to go to Walmart... even in the worst of neighborhoods.

But you do need to carry a little something because shit happens, bugs bite, things cut and scrape, and sometimes you spill a hot drink or food on your foot. Stuff happens when you're away from the car and home and you want to be able to handle that, especially for your loved ones.

Prologue - assignments

#1 Ohhh my god….how many more of these do we have to go through? Don’t I complain about this every time…. About the importance of modernizing?

#2 Yes, you complain every time. Which is why I am choosing this time.

#1 What?! No, I always choose. I’m older so I get to choose.

#2 You have chosen for the past several times, yes. And where did we end up?

#1 Come on… the chicken coop was fun!

#2 The mass murderer was not.

#1 Well… no…. That wasn’t fun…But the ice cream man was!

#2 Dude! He was a pedophile!

#1 Did you just “dude” me?

#1 We are not going back to those stoners in Iowa. Took me 5 days to feel my face when we got back here. … The race car drivers were fun.

#2 They were fun, but so long ago.

#1 True.

#2 AHA! Found them. Check these ones out. Oh we could do so much good here! Look how cute they are?! Ooh and it’s a double booking so we could go together- no trying to find each other across Montana.

#1 This again? I thought all the cities were lumped together alphabetically. It’s not that uncommon.

#2 Really? Name one place- just one - where that actually happened?!

#1 Rhode Island! Hahahaha. Everything was close together.

#2 For crying out loud. Will you come look this over? Let me know if this will work for you.

#1 Ohhh I can see why you want to go. You are so predictable.

#2 What?! What’s wrong with wanting a California adventure?

#1 You do realize they are nowhere near the beach. They might not even like the beach or the ocean. Ha! That’d be funny.

#2 That’s ridiculous. Who doesn’t like the beach and ocean? Plus, look at the length of this one? We’ve never done such a long assignment before. Yep, we’d get promoted if we do this one well.

#1 I dunno.

#2 If we don't get promoted, I’ll let you pick until we do.

#1 What? Seriously? You spit swear on that and I’m in.

#2 So gross and juvenile. Ok fine. (Spits on hand). Eww. Give me your hand already.

Chapter One - Preparation

Tim can’t stop smiling… he’s been in a daze for 7 months straight. Ever since Lucy told him she was pregnant. How did he get so lucky? Sometimes he just cannot believe how his life has turned out.

In the past 15 months, he began dating the love of his life, he got married, he found out she was pregnant, and they found out they were having a boy. They sold his house and bought a larger house, they moved in, they tore out a wall, built a nursery, built a couple closets, bought and installed a second washer and dryer for the nursery closet, retiled two bathrooms, painted the whole house inside and out, hired Tamara to paint a mural in the baby’s room (magical farmland creatures abound), they planted and weeded a garden, they redesigned and installed a sliding deck/pool cover, they got a new dog and the older one got jealous.

They read all the books, took in all the hand-me downs, folded a thousand onesies, bought a mini-mart worth of diapers, onesies, high chairs, binkies, pumps, pads, swaddling clothes, strollers, play pens, wipes, books, stuffed animals, blankets, burping clothes, filters, etc.

He and Lucy took baby food and semi-solid cooking classes, baby yoga, Lamaze and somatic breathing classes, birthing massage, learned baby cpr, did kegel exercises, babysat their friends’ babies for hours, and Tim bought extremely weird food combinations for his hormonal, waddling, cankled, beautiful wife.

Tim could not believe how much he loved Lucy. Once she said yes to that first dinner invitation and she joked about grandkids and the sky exploded in light and color and awe during their first real kiss, his heart cracked open and all the love and emotion he’d buried since she was his rookie came out and overwhelmed him with happiness. He’d sat in his truck in that parking lot after she drove away, crying and gasping as wave after wave of joy and happiness and YES FINALLY crashed into him.

The next day he went and bought a ring. Looking at the multitude of options before him, one shone brighter than the others - it sparkled like the sun, like his Lucy. But the design was very modern, very surprising - like the fact she maybe could love him back, so he didn’t worry about it. He chose the stones, found out her size and bought them.

He had proposed (and she squealed with happiness and said yes) the same day she found out she was pregnant.

Finally, they felt ready.

Weston Thorn Bradford - named after the two young black men, fellow police officers -their friends- who died in the line of duty protecting their colleagues - was due to arrive shortly.

They were excited.

Well….. Tim lied about that to Lucy. A little lie and not even a lie really. More like a wistful pang he knew would go away once he met the lad.

Sure, he was excited to meet his son, he swore he’d be a better Dad than his own Dad.

But Tim had been hoping for a little girl who looked like Lucy. To be surrounded by love and light. For dresses and tea parties and fairies and princesses, ruffles, bubbles, bows, giggles, and well, all of it, all of the baby girl stuff he remembered from when his sister was little.

But he sucked it up, stuffed that pang in the deep recesses of his heart and focused on all the firsts he’d have with his little boy- bugs, dinosaurs, mud, trucks, trains, exploring, sports, camping, sleep away camp, and mostly a deep and shared love of Lucy. That would be more than enough.

So when Lucy’s water broke, they didn’t panic, they calmly loaded up their car and meandered over to the hospital ready to get him out and then get him home - quickly and easily.

Well, that false sense of confidence bit them in the ass,didn’t it?

====

Chapter Two - First Night

What the hell just happened?! How? How do you MISS a baby? For fucks sake.

How many ultrasounds did we have? How many heartbeats did we listen to?

The last half of Lucy’s pregnancy I think we were at the doctor or on the phone with her OBGYN every other day.

Even the weird alien baby ultrasound scan thing didn’t find a SECOND baby.

And yet, there are currently TWO tiny people snuggled up on Lucy.

TWO tufts of black hair.

TWO lumps wrapped in blankets.

Two PINK blankets.

TWO GIRLS.

Two fat potatoes - almost identical twins - both mini Lucys.

One had a mole on her left cheek and one had a mole just below her left nostril. The doc said their eyes were also likely to be different colors, and that they’d probably be different heights, different by an inch, maybe two.

No boy wonders. No singular males. No Weston Thorn. Not this time anyway.. shock… awe…. Complete surprise.

Although…. Maybe twins aren't that much of a surprise. Lucy did gain an above average amount of weight.

His sweetheart overachiever .

Oh god… that wasn’t a shadow heartbeat or an echo, was it? No… that had to be baby #2.

Wait, that also explains the unexpected and unexplained high blood pressure. We had no idea where that came from. Now we do.

Holy crap. He’s the dad of two little girls. TWO LITTLE GIRLS!!

Tim hasn’t stopped crying since he held both of his girls (BOTH!), cut their umbilical cords, held one in each of his hands, hugged them, kissed them on their heads and handed them to Lucy. To their mom.

Lucy is the most beautiful mom he has ever seen - with two sleeping potatoes in her arms.

———-

The doctors say his love is spending the night as her blood pressure hasn’t yet dropped all the way back to normal.

So when their nameless lumps get whisked away for a bath and new snuggly clothes, he first texts Tamara “We have an heir!” Telling her to alert the masses that mom and spawn are exhausted, please no visitors-we will see everyone tomorrow as planned and places a food order for Lucy and himself: later he asks Tamara to deliver the food in person as they have some last minute details to work out for the party tomorrow when everyone gets to meet the newest Bradford(s).

Next, Tim takes his love to the shower on the floor (along with her IV stand) and lovingly washes her skin, massaging her scalp, and holding her close in gratitude congratulating her on such a great job producing not one but two miracles today.

Their babies each have ten fingers and ten toes (He counted).

In return, she washes his smelly anxiety sweat laden body and soothes his hyperactive heart with her love.

They stare at each other for what feels like forever under the hot water in awe, in wonder, crying and then uncontrollably laughing.

Because of course everything goes against the plan.

Finally, Tim dresses them both in matching LAPD zip up sweats sets with comfy socks and leads them (and her blasted IV stand) back to their room.

The nurse unhooks Lucy just long enough for her to finish dressing. Lucy is then given another full saline bag and told she’ll have to finish this one and another one tonight and she’ll be free by morning.

As the nurse turns and leaves to go get our girls, Lucy looks at Tim and says, “Do you remember what you told me when I gave you that positive pregnancy test? You said that you wanted to be surrounded by love and light.”

Tim nods - he remembers how she looked in the moonlight, if not the exact words he said. Lucy continued, “So how about these names:

1- Sunnisa - which means “gift of sun” - Love; and for our bonus baby girl

2- Lenna - which means love/“heart of a lion” - Joy

Tim is so overwhelmed that something he said in passing is coming true. Again.

Nodding at Lucy, he leans down to kiss all his girls, his loves, on their heads and glances at the time. “Oh-oh-oh! Tamara should be here soon! They’ve been fed right? Could he grab Lenna?” Tim has wisdom to impart - and he also wants to surprise Tamara.

Lucy looks back at Tim and rolls her eyes, “Still so ridiculous…. Yes, they’ve been fed. They latched on no problem and filled themselves up. Both are drunk on milk - they’ll sleep for a bit now. We are one step closer to those grandkids I promised you.“

Lucy pats the back of the young lass on her right side, her Lenna - the younger (by 5 minutes) and slightly smaller of the two bundles of joy. Tim gently picks up his already favorite child and zips up his sweatshirt around her as he sits and then leans back in the recliner across the room from Lucy.

Tamara won’t see them when she walks in and will likely freak out when she notices he’s holding a second bundle of joy in his arms.

As he feels his daughter’s breath on his chest, and hears her gurgle and coo for the first time, he gets a glimpse of his Lenna as she grows up - covered in cake, swim classes, losing her first tooth, school projects, cheerleading, learning to drive, father-daughter dances, prom, college, first love, first heartbreak, wedding and ultimately to her own kids.

Tim silently thanks Wade Grey for pairing him with his hotshot Rookie love.

———

Two hours later after the delightedly hilarious reveal to Tamara and another feeding, Lenna opens her eyes and sees Sunny now on her dad’s chest as she herself is on Lucy’s, on mom. Sunny’s eyes open and their eyes lock onto each other - and their first twin communication happens when #1 sees and recognizes #2 and grins while thinking, “we are definitely getting promoted after this assignment.”

[ilikeyoshi]

hiiii sorry about last night! i got some pretty scary news from the doctor at about 6pm, and over the course of the night it all was just kinda sinking in and i got very upset and scared. i'm feeling much better this morning, and i'll be starting a new medication soon to help prevent the issue from escalating, so i'll be okay too!

that's all i wanted to make sure everybody heard, but if friends are interested in more specifics, i've talked about it more under the cut.

<3

the short of it is, i found out last night i have a significantly elevated risk for strokes and heart attacks, at age 29. you can imagine how scary that is to find out from a blood test you AND your doctor expected to come back with nothing interesting, lmao.

it's serious enough that my doctor wants me to start a new medication immediately, without even seeing me in his office first. i've agreed to this after a cursory bit of my own research on the to-be-prescribed medication, as well as talking to my mom, who also happens to take a medication in this category.

i usually prefer to discuss new meds thoroughly with my doctor or psychiatrist before starting them, but of course, the fact i'm being offered the option of starting immediately, and the nature of what it's meant to prevent, kinda more than justifies throwing that standard to the wind. i do have an appointment with him next month to talk about the overall situation in greater detail, and i intend to discuss how the meds are treating me by then as well!

as is apparently a theme in my family, i have these risks without any significant signs of the overall conditions that would normally cause them. my father went through the same thing, via lung cancer despite never smoking and never having significant asbestos exposure in his construction career—obviously lung cancer can happen anyway, but lacking any of the common causes for it is rarer. naturally, i have achieved a similar issue; the elevated risks i have would most commonly be associated with diabetes and hypothyroidism. obviously, i intend to look into both of these with my doctor more, but so far nothing indicates signs of either condition.

sooooo basically: i'm okay! nothing that's an emergency Right Now, but something that could BECOME an emergency basically any time. i'm already looking into memorizing the early signs of heart attack and stroke in my body type, and i'm considering taking a CPR class in the near future and inviting my mom and sister, as they're the people i'm most likely to be with should something go really wrong. fortunately, i was at the doctor in the first place for a physical, and my heart sounds great!

i have another round of bloodwork scheduled in march to see how much the new meds are helping. i'm also, on a slower scale due to autism and strength loss complicating things, working on adjusting what i eat and how i exercise. because of the aforementioned reasons, i can't just switch as promptly as i'd like to, but that's why i'm so eager to start this medication. :)

thank you for reading, and for the well wishes on my posts from last night! things are gonna be okay. one step at a time!

[thinkingthroughjiu-jitsu]

Thoughts After Competing

"Are you going to change your Jiu-Jitsu game in light of your first competition?"

Yes, but not in the way you may expect. Some people I've heard answer this talk about developing a better game plan and drilling specific weaknesses, holes, or gaps in their game. As there are some benefits to this, I don't agree with this in some aspects. From experience in security and law enforcement, chasing the last trend typically does not produce favorable results. If you lose to an arm bar in a competition, and for the next six months you work on armbar defense only, you'll probably get choked out next time around. Some other responses will focus on the intensity of their game. Me? In the months of training leading up to a tournament, I realized a seed was planted, and it started to take root. It was a want that I needed to weed out. I began to care too much and try too hard. So how is my game going to change? I'm going to remove the game altogether. I'm going to focus on learning, flowing, and having fun. I forgot why I got into Jiu-Jitsu in the first place. I didn't start to chase medals, stripes, or belts. I didn't get into it to work up a podium or ranking bracket. I didn't begin to try to best people or prove myself to anyone. And if I had started doing any of that, I would stop. I want to return to the roots of my Jiu-Jitsu journey in the garage. Why just train for 5 minutes? I miss the 30 minutes or more. The 5-7 hours we'd manage to put in during a holiday. [You can insert sprint vs. marathon metaphor here, you won't catch me running either] If my perspective change hinders my promotions or disappoints my teammates, mentors, or coaches, so be it. Guess what? I don't practice Jiu-Jitsu for them, and the color of my belt doesn't define me.

Before I competed, a friend told me a bit about his experience. His takeaway was about handling the adrenaline dump you get when you step out on those mats to face an unknown adversary in front of strangers. And this is true; there is some anxiety and adrenaline response. But it is nothing I haven't encountered before. I grew up doing martial arts competitions, and I distinctly remember one where I was the only kid in my division, so I was moved up to spar and compete against older and higher-ranked kids. Then in my late teens and early adulthood, I had been in combat- shot at, near explosions, etc., and in various life-and-death situations, whether it be my life or someone else's. I've been in situations requiring me to do CPR and take further actions to save someone's life—the adrenaline I can handle.

The other argument for competing is it boosts your Jiu-Jitsu, going out and testing yourself against some random. Again, I get that. But I know different methods return similar results. And the other ways can be more fun. Seminars, for example, are one. Now, don't hear what I'm not saying. I love my coaches, and there isn't a class that goes by that I don't soak up something new. But having a guest instructor or a few hours with someone out of your school just hits differently. I often find myself in awe, not necessarily by the technique taught, but by seeing another human perform Jiu-Jitsu at that level, with a different upbringing. I'd like to think if my head coach went to their school, there'd be some bright-eyed white belt in awe by them too. The other way is to drop in other schools. Now, admittedly, I haven't gotten to do this as much as I'd like, but I have dropped in another school or two, and it's rewarding. The first time, I was still pretty fresh. Still mostly training out of a garage, I popped into a school where a friend of mine was teaching. The next time I had some wear and tear on my belt, which was almost more nerve-racking than my first competition. I was the highest-ranked white belt in the class, and imposter syndrome set in hard. Was I good enough to stand in front of all these dudes in their gym? Long story short, I held my own, and the imposter syndrome faded.

With all that being said. Will I celebrate the promotions of my teammates or even my own? Of course, I will. Promotions are still an accomplishment regardless of your motivation. Will I roll with those who prefer competition Jiu-Jitsu? Why wouldn't I? There are plenty of folks I enjoy rolling with despite their love for the competition scene. And as far as the competition scene, I'm all for the community. The overall vibe of a Jiu-Jitsu competition was way better than the traditional martial art competitions I grew up around.

Anyways.

If you train and haven't competed, don't let this deter you- you may love it, as many do. And I'm not saying I'll never compete again, but I just want to chill for now.

Thanks for reading.
