That's awesome I really appreciate it.....appears to be the same with the nitro drip, we can only use nitro drip for inter facility here. Do they not use cardizem?

Anyone know of scope of practice for MN? I searched their state website which really gives no information.

How's it going so far?

Seen lots of advertising for Gold Cross Ambulance by Mayo Clinic. Searched the forum with the last post in 2015. Anyone have a good understanding of their operation? Would be moving from out of state for a medic position. Any input would be great!
