LOL @ Jersey - I'd worry about having to buy Vent a whole case for calling her a him! There are several here with good resources and I don't think this was meant to go into a RN vs RRT vs Medic discussion and unfortunately I think that's the direction it ended up going. I'm not that...

There is also Calstar - but they fly RN/RN config. You are likely going to be a more competitive candidate as an RN/medic than as a medic alone. Also getting your degree pushes you forward as well as excellent skills and clinical decision making ability. Most have a written and skills test...

That was what made it so incredibly funny. I admit - we all saw the humor in it - except him of course <_<

We did this one time and it was a mother/daughter burn patient being transferred to a burn center from basically a free standing clinic. Both were stable but needed to be transferred for additional care. Due to the situation, we found it completely appropriate and I don't believe anyone would...

That is defintely another benefit to the King - which I believe I mentioned earlier (perhaps I didn't brain is slow today) is the ability to use an NG tube to prevent gastric distention. I agree that the King is almost impossible to not place correctly and with the advantage of having multiple...

No, the one prior - '03 or '05 I can't recall off top of my head sorry ! Pretty sure it was '03 though !

Hope this gives you a better idea of where I'm coming from !

Needless to say I've calmed down some !

Ummm yeah....had one a little too frisky that morning and kicked the top and hadn't gotten over there to fix it yet. Needed to buy a new board, but unfortunately if I'd taken that board out I would have hard horses jumping out and wandering onto the main road.

I respectfully state I am forced to disagree for all the reasons highlighted above.

This is a growing concern as more and more people, especially within the EMS and other public safety professions are getting into trouble for their facebook/myspace content. Several people i know have deactivated their accounts while job hunting for this very reason. It's amazing what people...
