There was usually at least one person at my clinicals who loved to teach students.
I really enjoyed my OR time getting intubations the most. The anesthesiologist I followed not only made sure I got as many intubations and airways as I could but also explained her job and why she did certain...
I've heard the opposite. I have heard that Maryland will continue to recognize EMT-I 99 or as MD calls it CRT. If they were to only recognize B's and P's there would be an uproar from a lot of jurisdictions as many will only train their providers to the I-99 level.
I took the I protocol test early last year and canman is correct. Everything in the book is fair game including how long you have till the medical director for situations.
I will be taking the p protocol test hopefully next month.

I've only seen the clip once and haven't Been able to find it since.
I'm gonna reply to the political part of this first.
This is not a Republic vs. Democrat issue.
This has turned into a Goverment vs. the People issue.
The majority did not want this and there elected officials did not represent them. The Republicans are just as bad as the Democrats. They...
No smoke necessary. The deal is you do the extra work you get the required proof of completing but you don't get the college credit for the courses.
Either way, I'm not going to go that route.
I'm in the I class right now in Maryland..
A few of us have been "selected" by the teacher to be able to test out for P instead of I for the Nation Registry test. We have been doing more ride time in addition to extra assignments and pretty much self teaching ourselves A+P out of one of those...
There is a hospital in my first due. Usually we can have a code at the hospital before the medics are on scene.

We have BLS, Engine and ALS dispatched on codes. So if we have our engine and BLS going...
