    Duty to Act Info

    I always was amused at the Duty To Act part for off duty. Granted, yes I have my hands which can help hold a flashlight or something mundane like that. But I wouldn't touch anything with out a pair of gloves (Scene Safe, PPE! Drilled into our heads starting on the first day of classes) If...

    Duty to Act Info

    Does anyone know if Arizona has a Duty To Act? I just moved to AZ in may, and have to take the BLS refresher course to become state licensed (thank god it's not like CA where you are county licensed, what a pain that was). Not that I wouldn't act anyways, but just wanted to know the law on it...

    What made you join EMS?

    Exhausted 2010 Edition.

    yeah, I'm taking the B course and then moving onto paramedic once I get some job experience for at least 6 months. I am able usually to study at work luckily. Thanks though, I appreciate the advice. Does it get any better once your on the job or does the exhausted feeling continue?

    Exhausted 2010 Edition.

    Okay... I'm only a student... and a new one at that. There are so many things going on in my life already being a single full time mom of two kids plus having to work full time and still finding time to study. I know it's probably only going to get worse til school is finished and I find an...

I don't know about the rest of the class but since I never took A&P I was completely lost on what...
