1. Thank you, Texasgal.

Up here in the Northwest, we're at a lower risk than in Texas. But we're on the job, nevertheless. Just got our Ebola protocol briefing this afternoon.

Stay cool, everyone. Fear and panic are the real enemies.

3. We have all day training starting on Monday.

Good luck to you and yes we need to support each other!

5. What do you do?

I'm a PA.

6. I'm a surgical nurse

at a large Opthalmic laser cataract center. I'm kind of off the front lines but we still have alot of pathology that walks through the door daily.

I knew you were a PA. I've read your posts. We have a PA at our facility that I just adore. Thank you for doing what you do!

7. COOL!

My Dad was a surgical nurse!

That's why no one needs to tell me that nurses rock. I've known that all my life.

8. I love what I do!

I used to work in trauma surgery but I changed about five years ago. I'm getting older and trauma was hard on me. I enjoy working with our demographics mainly geriatric but love that we restore vision! It's rewarding in every sense!

Oh and PA's ROCK! They have saved me and our staff more times than I could ever count! PA's are hard workers. They work the hardest.

9. We love what we do, don't we?

[Texasgal]

10. Absoultely.

I'm not sure i could do anything else to be honest!

The attacks on DU about our profession makes me sad.

11. We do a lot, but medicine is not magic.

Some people aren't emotionally capable of handling "We're doing all we can."
