Guilty of using the belt trick-HOWEVER- some make it sound like I am ONLY using my belt...Duh obviously NOT. I use my legs, butt, arms and belt (never my back) some how it just gives a bit more that I need being short and small. I have been doing this daily x 4 days per week x 4 weeks per...

Do they take attendants?? Meaning you cannot get an ambulance license?? NO you need to be able to drive and get an ambulance license and pass the insurance requirements to driver THEIR ambulances. missed that one.

Management is unlike any other....want you to work. The rigs are hit and miss-some good some not so good, don't drive an unacceptable one. I don't. Shifts and volume-10 hr shift is 3-4 calls and 11 hr is 4 --maybe and that is a maybe 4 - 5 calls. Some days 2 calls (and I pulled a 14 and ran 2...

The basic underlying importance of this thread is to prep us for the inevitable that we will all encounter. We NEED to know our limits and responsibilities legally as we know them in lur hearts ethically. FIND OUT what you can and can't do in your county and do it. Again morally -which is not...

Found on an attorney's web site-lots of court cases cited and scenarios but can't find one in the field-suggest MD on phone ASAP and PD en route for possibly dead/dying kid parents refuse to let you treat and let the MD give orders whereby HE/SHE took the child into protective custody and you...

"PRN" is the company name not per diem. If that helps in understanding

It just opens up your sinuses to let you smell more. lol :D

We get time and a half after 8 or after 40 hrs but no double stacking-so if you work 4 40's its time and a half hours 9 and 10 all 4 days but on the 5th day if you work a 10 then the first 40 is reg time and the last 10 hours of the 5th day is all time and a half. It works for me. =) btw it...

Had a trip and fall-mechanical from ground level-in front of the mall two days ago. No less than 6 cars stopped to help the 82 y/o male with blankets and called 911, I assess him briefly until fire showed up, but I definitely was proud of the members of my community...It is not everyone...

Where do you work?? Do you have to pass EVOC there too?

Allergy I happen to have a pretty severe allergy to latex due to over use in past years. The kind with powder will set off a respiratory reaction rapidly. No anaphylaxis (as of yet). I have managed to limit my contact and seem to be less sensitive to the occasional accidental brush to the...

Good luck NPO!!! I saw all the people at the job fair - a bunch - I felt so bad for you guys, sure hope a lot can get hired. I love working at PRN. Keep us posted.

I hope those cut loose find new positions quickly!

Agree, interaction with ALL levels of hospital staff, SNF staff, Clinic staff will be encountered. Plenty of SBAR docs to read and then later look up disease process and any labs you are not familiar with. You get out what you put in to the job and the experience. You do not have to just be a...

Also,, I do not think anyone (except the employers) cares about how it affects the employers. We care how the employers affect US. So, if an employer feels he needs to spread the increased costs to the employee then we as employees will care. If an employer decides the increase in cost is...

"This is response that I was not going to post, but decided it is an extremely important one for the original poster to read. The MOST IMPORTANT thing you can do is read the ACA for yourself. It is not that scary and many unbiased websites have made it simpler to read. Do not take your fellow...

Not really an employment related topic? ??? As for affordable-only for the truly poor the others will have to suck up -loose insurance and pay the penalty. I for one don't have $900 a month for health care IN CASE I NEED IT and my family makes too much for subsidies. We live in a higher...

I'm a female 5'3" and barely 110 lbs, when I started my field training I could NOT lift...OMG it was bad! My FTO told me that was my only problem and then the next day had me lift him in and out of the ambulance 8 times in a row. He is not the small type, I was quivering and about to drop...
