    What did you do with your patch?

    My experience has been that they usually they provide your service patch and you provide the other.

    really scared

    Cherokee Nation EMS and Muskogee Co EMS are both good services. Pafford is okay too. Muskogee does not have very many EMTs and have strong medic protocols. I am not super familar with Cherokee Nation but I have worked scenes with them and attended training in the past. RidRyder will probably be...

    Do You Sanitize Your Pulse Ox?

    I clean it all after each call and at the beginning of the shift I wipe down the cables, spo2, glucometer, laryngoscope, and anything else that possibly could have been forgot about by the previous crew.

    Big Ambulance!

    I was refering to some previous threads regarding squampers and also was recalling the nice fierce discussion we had when Chris Kendall posted his pics originally. I believe eventually the thread was locked if I remember right. Yes I hate squampers. Or were you meaning to link to a squamper...

    Need Some Help W/ Recertification Please

    Many states will re-certify you if you are in medic school with an official letter on school letterhead verifying you are there. Since you cannot be a medic without being an EMT, it would be pointless you know? I do not know if that is true where you are so contact your state EMS office for the...

    What would you do?...

    In your state, if a medic is present are they required to "tech"? I understand the arguement you make for wanting to be in the back since she was female, but is it allowed? In AR, a paramedic is required to take the call regardless of circumstances if they are present and the unit is ALS (which...

    Paramedic class + FT job

    I had a professor in college tell us "You can work and go to school or you can work and have a family. You can have a family and go to school, but you cannot do all three at the same time". He was a very wise man. When I started medic school I had made it all the way to my junior year in a 4...

    I have worked places where we worked: 10-15 calls/12 hrs and did 3-12's one week then 4 12's the next with voluntary WELL paid LDTs (definately the way to go as most people fought to take as many LDTs outside of work as they could and there was no complaining). 2-10 calls per shift and did...
