Twin Sharing basis- let's dig into it


Pissed off with some promotions? Then let us try to find out what Twin Sharing truly means. When you wander on the street this "Twin Sharing" thing is almost all around the places. That is because tourism is the backbone of the country's industry. Without promoting such country cannot prove to the world that they are existing. 

We will now reveal what does this term means. First and foremost, this term is widely used by Tourism, Hotels, Packages, Travel Agents, and all related to travel. Twin is defined as having similar characteristics, while sharing is having the other join/use such possession. If there is a newly opened hotel it would normally have its big banners and promotions displayed on its ads at the streets. And you, for unknowingly reason is ignorant to this term. There are several assumptions for this term and this will be the following:


  • may be interpreted as having same beds
  • may be interpreted as having same rooms
  • may be interpreted as having same bed and same room
  • worst is having physical twins inside the room
Then, if you have those assumptions you do not need to worry. This just means that your forehead is thinking and thus you are trying to break the code of this term. 

The history of this term began when the Tourism also began. This term is widely used because of its legal capture. I will explain what is legal capture. Legality, means something in line with the law. Legal capture is the right description for this term as this imposes a deeper meaning of it. A hotel won't say that we used this legally because it is absurd, they use this term safely as it sounds and confusingly as it is to understand. 

Getting to the root. The true meaning of Twin Sharing is- a room that is intended for 2 people and not less than 2 only. Still confused? , then let me elaborate. When you see twin sharing basis, this automatically means that the rate for that is good for 2 persons sharing the same room. Meaning, if you want to go single only then that rate won't apply. The same applies with having more than 2 persons trying to get the same quotation, then the rate will also change. 

The key to understand this is just to remember that if you ever see "twin sharing basis" you should conclude that the rate advertised if for 2 persons only. Whatever the rate us that would be the rate for both persons. That should not be considered as rate per person but rather the rate of the room for 2 persons.

Hope this simple trick has been unlocked to you all, and always remember "ignorance does not excuse no one"-Anonymous.


Nursing Boards: The role of the Hankies


If you are the type of person who cannot get out of the house without having a Hankie with you then you are not alone. Perspiration is normal and when you are situated in a Tropical country then having one hankie is truly a need. When taking some exams you might be perspiring more because of the pressure and the feeling towards having the result. I'll share a quick tip on how to manage such. 

If you are going to take a major exam (Nursing Boards), then you must have a hankie with you so to suppress your emotions. Yes to suppress, I am telling this because of the body reaction to stress or if it is exposed to stress, the sweat glands will coordinate with the brain signals thereby triggering the release of sweat. If you sweat normally, then just bring 1 hankie with you or two will do. But if you are like me whose hands are sweating as well as the soles of the feet once exposed to some stress then I will suggest to bring more than 4 or may be 5. Since you have multiple pockets with you then you can put one hankie on each pocket. 

You need to make use of the number of pockets you have, and on the actual exam Walla! then you can use them eagerly. When the exam would start then, you need to place 2 hankies at the table, one for your forehead to wipe the other to your hand. The rest will serve as back ups (you won't go to battle without ammo reserves aren't you?). When too much sweating occurs then you need not to worry you have back ups with you. The amount of sweat is actually affected by certain factors. When your position is near the window then the amount will be less, but if you are seated in the middle and you have limited ventilation, then you need to scrap all the rough so you can manage. I am talking about the situation in the Phils. where exam rooms do not have AC's on it. 

So that's it. The role of the Hankies, and guess what? There is one more feature that you can't afford to miss with the hankie is in you and you got stuck with a tearing lady, then you can offer her a wipe. And that's all way that it should be. :)



A CPR tip from a nurse entrepreneur


Isn't it a challenge to save someone's life? A job intended for doctors but a normal person can do? Then are you up with the challenge? - I am basically talking about the CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). Nowadays there are more and more people needing help and it is a must to be a good samaritan. 

I am going to give a tip here that you can use anywhere else not just in the big US state. And this is the standard that the Emergency Medical Team is using. You might have knowledge from other sites and every time you visit you receive different strategies and lessons. From basic to advance then I shall reveal now. 

Hints: 
At the scene, do the ADPIE in nursing.
  • Assessment- this will include calling local emergency numbers for medical assistance
  • Diagnosis 
  • Planning
  • Implementation
  • Evaluation
ASSESSMENT
For the assessment, note ABC.
  • Airway- check air passages 
  • Breathing- check the rise and fall of the chest
  • Circulation-check the nailbeds, eyes, and soft tissues for blood distribution
DIAGNOSIS
-unresponsivenes

PLANNING
-CPR plan

IMPLEMENTATION
--CPR action

1. Give initial 2 breaths to check air passage (each should last about 2 seconds). If chest rises then you can successfully do the CPR continuously, if chest does not rise suspect for obstruction. Place patient sideways and try to insert your index finger removing the obstruction from the patients mouth, this is called "blind finger sweep" the purpose is to see if we can continue CPR or not. Do not do CPR once there is obstruction as this will lead to push further obstruction. 

2. Given the 2 initial breaths, perform the proper pump now. Locate the xyphoid process of the patient, this is usually located at the bottom tip of the sternum (the central bony projection of the chest). Then from that point xyphoid process move up by 2 inces and place you palm. Remember to be at the patients right side so you can place your palm covering the left side (since our heart is mostly located on the left). 

3. Pump for 30 with 2 breaths at the end. This means that you do pump 30 times and at the end of each cycle  deliver 2 blows of air to the victims mouth. When delivering the air blows make sure that you will do head tilt chin lift so the air will successfully pass through. The depth of the push should be 1 1/2 inches to 2 inches for a normal adult. Pump at 100/minute so to revive the patient. 

4. This 30 pumps ratio is the same with one man CPR of two man CPR. In two man CPR, the one will pump and the other will deliver the blows. Continue until help arrives and until patient can recover. But please note not to overuse your strength as this could lead to rib fracture.

Notes:
  • CPR can damage the ribs causing rib fractures if not delivered successfully
  • Always be alert and ask others to help
  • Doing CPR is really tiring seems that you have gone for an extensive workout
  • Always put prayer in your action, nothing is impossible when you are asking help from above
EVALUATION
-status of the patient, hand him/her a glassful of soda or energy drink for acute recovery.


So, that is my personal rescue strategy doing CPR. This may be different from others but this will surely help you a lot!
