I was wondering if anyone has ever worked as an EMT in a casino or some other physical property (non-ambulance, fire, or hospital) area that hires their own EMTs. I am interested in working as an EMT in a casino. What kind of calls do they respond to? Whats their usual scope of practice, and do you thinks its a good work environment.
My personal impression on what I have seen, though I have never actually spoken to any of the employees before, is that they provide the routine first aid/CPR/AED to basic slip and falls, intoxication, or generaly individuals not feeling well.
My main questions focuses on scope of practice. Everything taught in my EMT class was considering you were working in an ambulance or hospital environment where you had full use of the equipment. Being an on site EMT, it appears that they have only limited equipment to work with and usually have to call 911 as a precaution. Do you get a chance to use an airway adjunct, BVM, sunction, or even provide oxygen? Also whats the training and continuing training like. Do you fall under some type of medical direction as well?
Any input would be great. Thank you
