What if they made school mandatory until you were 44 years old?

@DeWayfarer Nurses also have to re-new certifcation by taking courses or attending lectures.

@Grateful4you Always lectures. Often tests and group work. Cooperation is critical in hazmat.

@DeWayfarer Is Hazmat part of clinical settings?, sounds familiar, I've been out of the medical loop now for decades.

@Grateful4you Not medical, though we were trained in medical waste.

HAZardous MATerials and dealing with them. Was first responder level II.

@DeWayfarer I think Hazmat was part of some of the hospital medical waste. I know that word really well. Part of Universal Precautions. We had to wear gloves and face coverings. The waste bags were red to alert us to the potential danger.

@Grateful4you exactly. Yet this was dealing with anything hazardous: chemical, biological, poisonous and explosive hazards. I wore the white suit.

@DeWayfarer I admire people like you that never get recognized for the work you do. I hope they compensate you well sir.
