Thanks, I'll look into some of those, but they mostly look like calc apps and drug references. I'm looking for more interactive apps. I did find one that looks decent, it's called "ACLS Sim 2012" However it only has 12 scenarios, still pretty cool though as it rolls in real time.

Hey guys, I'm early on in medic school, it's been shaky at best but I'll make it through. I was wondering if anyone knows of any decent apps for an android? I don't have any real issues with drug calcs or anything, so I'm looking for more scenario based ALS games. I was shown one for a Iphone a...

no it didn't, it asked which of the drugs are appropriate, not most or best or anything that would have made sense. the more people I talk to the more stories I hear about bad questions that don't really test our true knowlege.

me too. the more I read the more I think I'm right here. the question does not state anything about an allergic reaction. and epi as far as I can tell from different texts is a bronchodilator and vasoconstrictor. which means it opens your air passage ways and raises your BP to keep you from...

yes albuterol is in the bls text book, you may recognize refered to a metered dose inhaler, or MDI. actually its the drug in an mdi. its one of the 3 patient drugs we help them take in an emergency.

hey guys I just finished taking the national/florida emt exam, I've got a bit of a question. first let me just say that many of the questions are worded in a manner that makes them very confusing, and they are usually incomplete. I was trained with the motto "don't guess, assess!" Just as many...

guys I appreciate it, but like I said these are private academies, which means the pell grants and fasfa don't apply. I could go to the regular academies, but they currently have a 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 year wait!!!! :angry:

I'm done with emt, I did it at broward community college and got a loan for it. next I'll be going to coral springs fire academy, which is a private school and they told me they know of no loans, grants, or scholarships that apply to them. but its ok cause I have just enough money to go there...

ok well like I said before florida is a bit different. there is alot of competition for jobs here so there is no need for them to pay for training. its nice to hear about how other states work but, and not to be rude, its not really helping my problem. someone somewhere knows of something, a...

its the exact opposite for ems/fire rescue here. you can't get hired until your state certified in atleast emt-b and fire. no dept. pays for training in south florida, unless you somehow are lucky enough to get hired as a emt-b/firefighter, then maybe they will pay for paramedic training, but...

there have to be more options then that, if the police can get anyone of 1000 grants why not us. not to mention they also get paid training through the academy, and get paid slightly higher here even though they need no initial training except for high school. doesn't seem right. somewhere...

for the most part I was refering to the fire fighter portion of the training, but I have to say since starting training in january I have met dozens of emt's around the country, many from new york were my cousin is an emt and has been for more then 15 years. and many of these people leave me...

thanks for the replys guys, but I think I need to clear up some things here. first I think its obvious you guys aren't from south florida by your comments so let me point out some points of interest/problems here: -in order to get a job in florida you have to be at minimum a firefighter and...

good morning gentlemen and ladies, I have just completed EMT-B school here in south florida, I was one of 15 graduates out of 43 students. I need some help on the next few steps, next week I go for my state and nationals. then hopefully in the middle of july I will start fire academy, I find out...
