Based upon the posts I got from the the last thread I started today makes me want to ask the more experienced members these questions... With health care changes and reform coming what do you forsee for the future role of EMS? Do you feel that the Community paramedic is a good idea? And...

I agree with you on all of this... honestly I was afraid to come out like you just did because of pissing off people who have dedicated many years to ems in their professional career.

I understand and fully agree with you on the actual role of a paramedic...seriously. The context in which the quote that you have above is more or less a way for me to wrap up the point I was trying to make without coming and saying basically that a paramedic really counts for nothing in the...

Everyone is entitled. To their own opinions and I respect everyone's point of view but I have to disagree. I see that there is a difference in an EMT education and that of a paramedic but in the real world outside of the life and times of a paramedic, the education is still minimum quality in...

Im a New medic and have been in EMS as an EMT since 2007. I have worked in 70/30 911 to medical transfer areas in that time. Im wondering if that experience will play into my base pay now that I'm a medic. I would assume that my time in service would correlate to experience on the job? Any...

go read your books and then read some more...read until you think you know what your talking about and then read some more... the for profit study guides are there to refresh you on already retained knowledge that you learned while in paramedic school.., and prepare you for the test/ question...

NREMT-P ....took test finished at 150 questions and passed ...first attempt. really thought that it was up in the air ...found out just now.. the test had repeat questions and alot of questions that were completely wacky..alot were very obscure. Alot of the questions that seemed to be at...

Okay here is my two cents ... I prefer jb learning... The questions seems better researched and more logical... I personally feel it's a better product... Fisdap lacks the depth and some of the questions are kind of broad and lack depth. Also fisdap study tools are an absolute joke... The...

okay so Im on jb testprep preparing for NREMT-P and cam across a question regarding tape based res. and how its only good up to 34kg and it also gives a formula for estimating a childs weight as an alternative: (years of age x 2 )+8 this would mean that either my son is in the 99% for...

I'm taking my paramedic CBT on Tuesday. I feel confident and knowledgable but Im looking for something that I can compare my knowledge to that is similar the the NREMT-P CBT... So far these have been the most talked about test prep tools... Any experience with these? Did they help...

I just finished my paramedic course and was lucky enough to get in a practical exam site, I passed everything first go! Now I'm waiting a couple of days prior to testing for the NREMT CBT. I Feel comfortable and confident, but gonna try out fisdap or jblearning before attempting it. Almost there!

Just out of curiosity... I live in texas and I applied to a job that offers 24 hour shifts because it fits my schedule... But at the last minute they explained to me how they pay on 24's... You don't get paid for 8 hours for sleep and 3 hours for eating breaks. If you do get a call in those...

I'm sorry I just realized that was a stupid question... Since I've now realized I'm way to tired to study right now...thanks for reply though

So if a patient converts from PEA to VT after admin. of epi ...you restart at the top of the next appropriate aglorithm, right? Also, do you administer EPi agian from the top or go to Amio? This is for NREMT....so please only state "curriculum apporved answers" lol

Ok so I was being quizzed with static ECG questions... This one I need to know about... Wife found husband unresponsive and called 911... Patient is pulseless and has an identifiable 2nd degree heart block type 1..... Do you treat this as PEA?
