What is the starting salary of an urologist?

150K - 400K is what I have seen typically. 150 or so would be a group hiring a new young Urologist out of residency who will need to build a practice, the typical scenario. 400+ would be a hospital hiring a urologist, perhaps into an area with a shortage such as a small town.

Do nurses get paid monthly or weekly?

Depends on what type of nurse, where they work, who they work for and what they agree on. A private nurse for example may opt to get paid monthly, an assisted living facility nurse will get paid weekly because she may not stay in the same facility for a week at a time. A home care nurse may choose weekly or monthy. A nurse that works in a hospital, gets paid weekly.

Is the female coupling on a fire hose lead you to the nozzle or to the engine?

The female coupling connects to the engine (nozzles have female couplings, engine apparatus usually has male connections), so the male coupling always points towards the fire. With that, if you're following a hose, say out of a building, you would want to find the male coupling and follow the hose behind the male coupling.

What are facts about firefighters?

While everyone else is running out of a burning building, firefighters are going in. They have a strong sense of commitment to their fellow man and are willing to risk their lives in order to save someone else's. They put others needs above their own. They understand that courage is not the absence of fear but rather its the knowledge that there is something more important than fear. (Ambrose Redmoon)

The fireman Prayer:

When I am called to duty, God, wherever flames may rage, give me the strength to save some life whatever be its age. Help me embrace a little child before it's too late, or save an older person from the horror of that fate. Enable me to be alert and hear the faintest shout, and quickly and efficiently, put the fire out. I want to fill my calling and to give the best in me, to guard my every neighbor and protect his property. And if according to my fate I am to lose my life, please bless with your protecting hand my children and my wife.

good firefighters don't only fight fire but they are willing to risk their liefs for others that are in danger what so ever kind of danger

AnswerMy knitter just loved the gift I gave of having perosonalized labels made for her...said something like " Caringly Handmade by Mary Smith". They are available, fairly inexpensively, at knitting stores, and through ads in some magazines. Takes a few weeks for delivery. (Don't be misled, the ones that are custom stiched or embroidered were very expensive). AnswerMy mother-in-law crochets and I found some really cool craft books on Amazon.com. They were well-priced and had a wide variety of patterns. AnswerBeing a knitter, I would have to say a gift card to a yarn store above all, then would be high quality yarn or patterns.

Which as more resistance a garden hose or a fire?

Difficult to say. Hydraulic resistance is proportional to diameter as well as length and velocity. Water moving very slowly in a short length of either type of hose would have negligible resistance.

The more likely answer you want is that high-velocity water in a garden hose would experience MUCH more resistance (friction loss) than that in any fire hose of larger diameter. The actual numbers will depend upon specific friction-loss factors, including the type and size of hose and the gallons per minute.

For example, the friction loss coefficient in a 1.5-inch fire hose (24) is more than ten times what it would be in a 2.5-inch hose (2.0) and 100 times that of a 4-inch hose (0.2).

What is the training process of a retained firefighter?

The following is written by and according to the U.S. Department of Labor and particular to the education and training required for fire fighters.

Most fire fighters have a high school diploma; however, the completion of community college courses or, in some cases, an associate's degree, in fire science may improve an applicant's chances for a job. A number of colleges and universities offer courses leading to 2-year or 4-year degrees in fire engineering or fire science. In recent years, an increasing proportion of new fire fighters have had some education after high school.

As a rule, entry-level workers in large fire departments are trained for several weeks at the department's training center or academy. Through classroom instruction and practical training, the recruits study fire fighting techniques, fire prevention, hazardous materials control, local building codes, and emergency medical procedures, including first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). They also learn how to use axes, chain saws, fire extinguishers, ladders, and other fire fighting and rescue equipment. After successfully completing training, the recruits are assigned to a fire company, where they undergo a period of probation.

Many fire departments have accredited apprenticeship programs lasting up to 4 years, including programs in fighting forest fires. These programs combine formal instruction with on-the-job training under the supervision of experienced fire fighters.

Almost all departments require fire fighters to be certified as emergency medical technicians. Although most fire departments require the lowest level of certification, Emergency Medical Technician-Basic (EMT-Basic), larger departments in major metropolitan areas increasingly are requiring paramedic certification. Some departments include this training in the fire academy, whereas others prefer that recruits earn EMT certification on their own, but will give them up to 1 year to do it.

In addition to participating in training programs conducted by local fire departments, some fire fighters attend training sessions sponsored by the U.S. National Fire Academy. These training sessions cover topics such as executive development, antiarson techniques, disaster preparedness, hazardous materials control, and public fire safety and education. Some States also have mandatory or voluntary fire fighter training and certification programs. Many fire departments offer fire fighters incentives, such as tuition reimbursement or higher pay, for completing advanced training.
