Alright, but this is coming from a guy who had seven of those crap study guides, till i found the one I was telling you about. TRUST ME!! It will make you pass. The fact is, that NR tells you that the test is not set up to fail you. But it really is. Trust me. And the guide will tell you how.

I found this awesome book. Its by Morrisons media. Its called something like EMT-P secrets, or secrets for the EMT-P. It helped me immensely. Its not like a normal study guide that tries to regurgitate everything you have already learned. It basically breaks down the test even into explaining...

alright, this thread is boring me now. On a departing note. Ive worked the burbs, and Im working the big city. If your educated, then your educated. Doesnt matter what system you work. Diagnosing where in the GI tract the penny is that the 8 year old swallowed, doesnt make a difference. Being...

Its ok. I worked privates once too... Sucks dont it? I learned how to operate the vent and the pump. But, I'm not a ccp though<_< Yea, I dont know extensive stuff about PH levels, or ATP, or anything else like that. But I always thought real emergency care didnt go that deep. Especially since a...

AGAIN - Hollywood CPR is personal safety!!! You dont walk in and see someone who is rotting and go, ok!! LETS WORK EM! Hollywood cpr comes when you try to explain to a family member that their mother is dead. And he says NO SHE AINT!!! And gets loud. As far as public view? Yea, you remove him...

Hang on Johnny! Grab roy by the coattails before he gets in too deep!!! Isnt everyone already dead when we get there for a CPR??? You trained as an officer of the law to eliminate the possibility of a crime scene as soon as you walk in the door? Didnt think so. And in our city, the only...

hahahah! Is it that service? I wouldnt know. I do know that we can only use the tools provided to us. Limited or not. But I would throw any amount of money down on our techs running circles around ANY ems provider in the country. Why not? How about the world. Privates, FF/medics, RN, CCP, Etc...

NEW ONE FOR TONIGHT!!!! (Reffering to his wife with chrons diseases...) Him: She got Chrome disease and kidney stones Me: Oh, did you say chrome disease? (very clear pronunciation for chrome, not chrons) Him: Yea, Chrome disease Typical <_<

I took all of my classes accelerated (EMT-B, EMT-P, and FF I & II), at forty hours a week. I believe my medic class took a total of six months. If you still live at home with your parents like I did, Its GREAT!!! Just no life for six months. 100 pages + of reading per night. If you retain...

I have PHTLS, BTLS, and ITLS. BTLS is Basic, just as it says. I do not recall getting any advanced treatment in this class. PHTLS, uuuuuhhhhhhhhhh..... Honestly, the people who put it on did nothing but run through power point and yap about their one gory call from over five years ago. I pretty...

OH SWEET JESUS!!!!! This is the difference between the big city and the 'burbs! Technically, a baby not breathing should have an appearance from scout (police) first. But heres your question. You risk the life of a child because of the chance that it might be a crime scene? NO! We had an...

Not exactly true. As far as doing everything the hospital can. YES, we do both work off of ACLS. A nurse ALONE, could legally only do what we do. But, they do have the advantage of.... A DOCTOR!!!! The doc has the ability to push whatever they want in whatever dosage they want (depending on how...

Too much to list.... HAHAHA just found this. I dont even know where to start..... Me: Any medical problems sir? Asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, seizures, hypertension, herpecyphillis? Him: Yea, I got that! Me: Herpecyphillis? Him: Yea! Me: Ok, is that herpecyphillis type a or c? Him...

So, Ive googled it, ive done everything within my power to try and find a medic refresher course. Not just in SE MI, but ALL of michigan...... AND NO LUCK??????? Anyone have any suggestions?

ONE OF MY PARTNER I WORKED WITH HAD TO EPI-PEN HERSELF WHEN SHE FOUND OUT SHE HAD A SEVERE ALLERGY TO LATEX THE HARD WAY AT WORK. HAHAHAHAHHAHAH. But here in Michigan, I believe all of michigan, unless its under protocol ( i dont know, I dont ask, I just do;)) carries epi pen auto injectors...
