I will assume for simplicity (and no other reason) that it takes five years for the home to eventually be sold or purchased by the CREES. I will also assume that appreciation is lower than it has been in the past 20... free lease option contract…

We are always telling them that they are, but now it seems only BS grads are considered truly professional. Students were asking a similar question about being professional.

I have been involved in trying to get legislation sponsored by my "Representatives" and they made it very clear, without actually saying it, that they needed to see a donation to their war chest before they could get around to looking at it. Yuk is a good word. After that experience I felt like I needed a shower! Unfortunately, there is some truth to what you say.

(the Hawaii society believes the bill could have the potential to water down their current state laws & therefore came out in opposition to the ASRT efforts in this direction). Seems HAWAII can not speak against the ASRT endevours but it is a nice place to visit!

They want something out there - but from the on site inservice I have seen for CR/ DR...they push the equipment without even knowing the principles of exposure...how can a company do that-it seems that NCDRH should take a closer look at the newer technologies and how they are being presented to the professional community. WE have to operate them and WE have to monitor patient exposure. It is not right when the application specialist tells the staff, "just go up 3-4 times the mas you are using now"...to solve S# problems rather than have them recalibrate the system to meet the current techniques.

True allergies are when people will always have the same reaction each time they are exposed to the irritant. But with contrast this is not true (we just premedicate prior allergies to avoid legal implications and the possibility of a repeat reaction). Nurses do not even study contrast...they only study how to treat a reaction...we can follow standing orders the same as any RT and probably better - because of our exposure to these types of reactions...we are ready for them...we know what to look for and when to go into high gear.

Nurses have been trying to micromanage our profession for years. We must stand together and remember we are a profession that deserves respect. Why must we wait for a nurse to inject? Nurses have been ordering x-rays for years and when they get caught they get a slap in the wrist or it is ignored. Maybe it is time we pay attention to what the nurses are doing and let them know loud and clear we will not tolerate their negative reaction to something so important to our profession!
