Thanks a million! That was really helpful! :)

I have two questions: 1. How do you get into the chat room? Every time I try, it asks for my username and password, but when I put it in, it says it's invalid. 2. What does "Unapproved Visitor Messages" mean when you see it in your inbox? Thanks! ;)

I don't know about where you live, but here in Louisiana, there are quite a few positions that an EMT-P can fill. Casinos Doctors' offices ER's Movie studios Water Parks Wildlife Parks These are just a few. The key is to keep an open mind. Don't assume that because someone doesn't...

78 questions on the EMT-B exam - passed!

Make yourself some pnemonics! I would never remember anything if not for pnemonics! For example, in the trauma assessment, after BSI/Scene Safety, my pnemonic says: Men Never Help Clean M=Mechanism of Injury N=Number of Patients H=Consider calling...

rwik, at the beginning of the day, your role on the medic unit should be discussed with the people you will be riding with and you should not deviate from whatever it is they ask you to do. It has been my experience that the more proficient you seem, the more they will trust you to take some...

I can't even get IN the chat room. In other random conversation, working for a private company blows. Last three 24-hour shifts, no sleep, clinicals between and class at night. Somethin's gotta give because my lack of sleep has significantly contributed to the deterioration of my usually...

This is why I work for a private ambulance service. "You're getting out, you're getting out, you're getting out, you're driving". End of story. :P

Holy SMOKES! I don't even know what to ask first... What IS that thing? Is is native to TN? (I'm NEVER visiting there again!) How big was it REALLY? Could it eat the goat??? OMG... I would've wrecked my car!

I hate to even admit this because I've been in the medical field 17 years and an EMT for 10 of those...but... I would NEVER put my mouth on another human being (with a few exceptions) to give CPR without some sort of shield. The exceptions are my IMMEDIATE family and babies. I could say I...

Hey! I guess I haven't signed in here in a LONG time! lol Sorry I never got your question before, but in answer to it, I work for Balentine Ambulance Service, a private company in NWLA. I'm a Basic, with 2 more months left of Paramedic school. YAY!

Hey...I added you! :)

Finally got out of A&P and into the Paramedic cirriculum and I'm having a TON of trouble with the ALS algorithm. Test on it is tomorrow night and I feel like such a dork because something that should be easy is so so so hard for me. :unsure: Anyone have any little learning tips or tricks for...

Louisiana doesn't require it. In fact, I've never heard of it.

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it! I remember my first ride along...I was nervous, excited, scared, anxious, hyper...ran the whole gamut of emotions!!! GOOD LUCK!!! ;)
