Best Answer

Third-degree burns are often called "full-thickness" burns, since this indicates thermal penetration of the heat source through the epidermis and dermis to the underlying subcutaneous tissues. The tissue is effectively unable to be rehabilitated unlike blistered skin, and requires surgical skin grafts. Full-thickness burns of over 30% total body surface area generally have a poor prognosis to to the inability of the body to retain fluids and the susceptibility to opportunistic infections.

Does an employer look at an online degree the same as a traditional class attended degree?

There is definitely a difference between online degree and traditional degree. But with the change in time, we are looking at the shifts in perception and mindset. Now employers have started accepting people with online degrees. But the problem is that they do not accept it from just any random university. If the online program and degree is affiliated or accredited from a renowned third party then they have no issues in accepting it because it has a third party assurance attached to it.
