What is a hospital IV used for?
An IV is used to administer fluids and medications intraveinously, or via the veins. It is common procedure to start an IV on patients as a safety precaution; if a patient needs immediate administration of a particular medication, the IV delivers the meds immediately through the veins. IV's are also used to ensure the patient doesn't become dehydrated, since they deliver a pre-determined dose (or drip) of glucose to ensure the patient receives enough fluids. Other meds are given by IV's also, such as antibiotics, anaesthesia, etc. in addition to emergency administration of meds.

No unfortunately they pay bi-weekly. I have been searching for one that does pay weekly since leaving my job at a small hospital off the coast of Massachusetts that does pay weekly. I have been unable to find any weekly pay in Delaware, Arizona or Florida. Therefore i will probably land up going thru an agency and getting paid about 10 less per hour.

What are the different Iv fluids and their functions?
Normal saline 1.9%, 5% dextrose in water are called crystalloids and are mainly used for fluid replacement. They are not that efficient in volume replacement because most of the water diffuses by osmosis into the extracellular space. You have to give 4 litres of crystalloid to obtain a 1 litre rise in blood volume. However, they are dirt cheap.
Haemecell, human albumin etc are colloids and mimic the "weight" of blood. They are expensive but most of the fluid remains in the blood.
How soon can I go into active labor being 36 weeks and 3 days 2 centimeters dilated and 50 effaced?
There's really no way to tell. You can be slightly dilated for weeks before going into true labor. On the other hand, you might not be dilated at all and then go into labor closer to your due date. It's oddly not a very reliable way of telling when you'll deliver, until you are in active labor.

Can hospital judgments in the US take your income tax return?
In some cases, yes. If the hospital is affiliated with the federal government (ie, a VA facility) your federal tax refund may be offset for any outstanding medical debt. In some states, a state or county owned facility may offset refunds issued from state tax returns. Also money owed on state run programs such as Medicaid and food stamps can be used as offsets on state refunds.
Generally, however, if none of the above apply, the only way a hospital can obtain your tax refunds is to get a court order to attach the bank account where the refund is deposited. In that way, they can intercept any funds deposited into that account and apply it towards outstanding debt, but they cannot directly offset the return.

"Bleeding Time" is an archaic and inexact method or measuring platelet action and clotting factor. In this method, one cuts the patient in a very specific way (various methods exist), turns on their stopwatch, and waits for the bleeding to stop. The number of factors that can effect this test, robbing it of its accuracy are myriad -- far too many to list at this time. Instead, standard lab testing for clotting factor of a blood sample is far more accurate, and avoids the nuisance of attacking your patient with a sharp blade.
