Keep on keeping on as Joe Dirt would say. My second day of training my "training paramedic" told me "you just suck". Of course I sucked. I had a total of 24 hours experience as a basic. I had never been in an ambulance when I started. Just because you do not have experience, does not mean you...

Im 43 and just got my first EMT job. I went through the weed out process just like the young ones and I dont see many of them around after its all said and done. Jump in there and get with it. Learning more everyday on the job! Good Luck!

Looking forward to finding out the hard way. Last Mod test and final practicals last night. I have a written final next wed. and I'm finished with B school! Woo Hoo. Actually looks like I may get a job too:D

GOOD LUCK man! Hope you get on!

Great sig line! That pretty much nails it. I will most likely move on education wise ASAP. I see the limitations and doldrums associated with the B status. Gotta start somewhere!

So...my EMT training is BS...?.My textbooks are all lies? Dont give anybody O2? Dont use the BVM? Dont use EPI? All I'm being taught is worthless? The inspiration is infinite here. See ya in the trenches. :D Great thought provoking discussion! Guess I will be signing up for some more classes...

Thanks for the answer firefite! I just learned something. Funny how when you are in school, all this info is jammed in your head, but it takes a real scenario to stick it there and glue things together.

Is there a reason why they did not go non-rebreather @ 15L per minute? Just curious.

Wow. You Aussie's actually get to make some money being a medic! I'm glad somebody on the planet actually gets paid on par for the job. Looks like it's bottom dollar here in the US. :sad: Par for our course these days.

Still teaching ABC in my current course. But I hear CAB is coming. I would have said A and been wrong with you. There is a huge debate going on in the local community about the new "standards". Even in class.

Congrats!!!!! :D

I think I have found a new "home" on the internet! Now back to scenarios and BLS.....

Sorry in advance, BUT I'm new here! Include these in the next OB class you teach:ph34r: http://www.pregnantchicken.com/pregnant-chicken-blog/2011/5/29/birthing-dolls.html

Just looked up and seen the POWM link. Please disregard last transmission. I'm an idiot. Speaking of that. You got a noob (being me!) Send them to get you an id-10t form. Old military trick. Spells IDIOT
