    Taking NREMT on a Friday?

    Dont give up!! You havet wo more tries and I know a lot of people who got it on their second try. Now you know what to expect- how it goes.take a deep breath, do a LIGHT review on the places you feel you need to and do not overstudy. You can do this! You passes your class, you know the information.

    Treatment for flail chest

    No worries. I had a rough day too. I was just a little confised because I have only been an EMT for 6 weeks. I really like everyone here and like being here. Cheers!

    Treatment for flail chest

    I honestly think you guys think I am more upset than I really am. Unfortunately message boards dont show tone, but yes, I was annoyed, but i really do have a "sheesh" attitude. I made a mistake. I owned my mistake. Case closed. No need for undergarments to get into the mix here. Lets shake hands...

    Treatment for flail chest

    And wow... Thanks for dragging me through the mud, guys. Just finding my roots in the industry and get stomped on. One terminology switch up and your drug to the stake. I am going to end it here because what I want to say would upset Chimpy, but thank you for being complete ***holes.

    Treatment for flail chest

    OMG I must have been drinking stupid juice last night. Bulky dressings and give them a pillow to hug for stability and for comfort. Sorry guys, after a birthday party in the morning and funeral in the afternoon-my brain was done. I dint know why I was thinking pneumothorax. My fault- probably...

    Treatment for flail chest

    For the record, that is what Brady EMT 12th edition says. And I will learn the protocol and do whatever they say. Because if I get the job they will pay me so I have to keep them as happy as a cat with a can opener.

    Question on EMT-B State Exam

    I had to look on the actua site to see if I passed. I never got an email. Check NREMT to see if you can find information. Fingers crossed for you!

    Treatment for flail chest

    We were taught occlusive dressing taped on one side (or leave a corner open) to let excess air out, control bleeding as much as you can and book it to the hospital. Ps can probably do a lit more though.

    How do I get started?

    I was told by my instructor: its not who gets in (anyone can) its anout who comes out. I believe it because 1/2 of our class disappeared over time. Do your homework, find the school/program and kick ***.

    Nervous- still havent heard application

    I need honest answers if you can help at all, and you guys are awesome at being honest. I spoke with my husband's cousin who is a firefigher/EMR. He said that he changed positions, but his buddy got hired right on with the new company right away with the new Ambulance company. Granted, the guy...
