I've had my soul this long, there's no way I'm going to let one measly corporate EMS giant knife it down with their oppressive ways and whatever other bad stuff people seem to think! Also, I turn 21 in August when I can get hired on somewhere else... :) But hey, I'm trying to keep an open...

::sings:: In my mind I'm going to Carolina Can't you see the sunshine? Can't you just feel the moonshine? Maybe just like a friend of mine, to hit me from behind Yes, I'm going to Carolina in my mind... That song has been stuck in my head for days! In other, happier news... I finally...

Boobies and booze... The day EMTLife started to reflect what EMS is actually like! ^_^

doIhaveswineflu.org made me LOL. ^_^ We have our first two confirmed cases in our state... Suck on that, other 49(ish?) states who aren't part of the cool pig flu club!!

Fire is the WORST! Trust me, I live with a firefighter... The dirty mind does not get left at the station with the bunker gear! :blush:

I'm tired, so when I first read this I thought it said something to the affect of "How do you get into someone's pants?" And I thought, "sweet! Another 'classless' bra-type thread!" Alas... No. :sad: Anyway, when I was an EMT student I bought my pants at the local army surplus store...

Who ever said EMS was a classy profession anyway? What I find funny is how tame this thread is compared to how "classless" and "degrading" a true ambulance can be. Shoot. My old partner and I would have HOUR long discussions about... Well, actually, that shouldn't be shared in public... Ever...

Gets them every time ;)

^ Hehehe. CCP = EMT-P(+) ?

If not in EMS? I would still be at Starbucks or Hooters to pay my way through my Biology degree on my way to medical school. Not in healthcare at all? Pursuing my dream of becoming a professional dancer (which would never happen) or choreographer for some traveling show. Opening my own...

In all my time as an EMT-B/IV in Colorado, I've never heard it called an EMT-B"+". But now when anybody asks, I'm telling them I'm at the "plus" level of EMT certification!

I hate seeing obituaries of patients. Hate it. The newspaper for my county prints obituaries on the page opposite from the comics, and every now and then, it slips my mind and I accidentally keep from tearing it out of the paper so I can't look. So I saw the obituary of a patient we...

Same here, draw on everyone (for the most part) before giving an IV. Private service.

Another Coloradan here and I have to echo, Thompson Valley rocks. If you can get up and ride with them sometime you'll have a great learning experience. They do mutual aid for the service I'm interning with and I've never met a medic from TVEMS who wasn't really knowledgeable and kind. Colorado...

^ LMAO!! At least he gave himself some more work to do. Stand-bys at games can get so boring!

Okay, I'm not going to lie, I only really skimmed this whole thread just to see if the OP had gotten his question answered, which it doesn't look like. OP, in Colorado you have to complete an extra 24 hour class to get your IV certification. You can do that at nearly any community college...

I hate unpacking. Ugh. The left side of my body is all flugged up. I don't want to go to the doctor.

EMT-Basic/IV Intern I don't get paid to do what everyone else gets paid to do. What a great job title.

What about to people you don't like? :P

Gilly! Short for Gillian.
